  1. It's not a matter of believe it, I have nothing to gain or lose. I am simple recounting what I did and what happened.
  2. A couple of years ago I received a CGC comic in the mail, I live in Regina Sk Canada and it was a typical cold winter day. The slab I received was a comic for my personal collection so it is/was cracked out. Brought the slab in "directly from the cold" and put a butter knife on the side to spread it open, usually a post breaks or the plastic cracks, the posts popped out perfectly and I removed the contents and they popped back together. Not sure if it was the extreme cold and there was a possible contraction of the inner post or ?, but regardless it was undetectable. Maybe they could have a fail safe system where they have the CGC cert# etched on the case somewhere to make sure that both numbers correlate
  3. I actually picked it up probably around 4-5 years ago from fee bay. Alway's wanted a copy but was never able to find a affordable copy in high grade. I sure won't be able to now
  4. I don't like the idea of having the auction's because I believe it will degenerate. That being said if they are going to have them, they should be able to dwindle and die in there own thread not contaminate the current selling threads.
  5. +1 I just ignore them completely, hopefully they will go away.
  6. This is a standard practice in ALL of my sales threads. I've sold many books here on the Boards, and this is the 1st time this has happened. I posted the book Got a lot of nice comments Got a few PM's (none from roulette44) Mike PM'ed with a few questions, I answered I had to run some errands with the wife I came back, both "i'll take its" were posted, and the drama already started Had I read Mike's acceptance prior to the "Ill take it" IN the thread, I would have posted it "SOLD via PM" myself. (If I could have even got it up in the few minutes between) Again, check any of my sales threads and see I've done that many times) Therefore 1st "Ill take it IN the thread wins Sorry if you don't like the rules I posted, but they were posted To be clear. I made Dan an offer. He countered saying he would accept that offer if it was not Paypal. I accepted within 3 minutes via PM and more than 10 minutes before Roulette. It's his sales thread and he can, I guess, run it however he wants. I know what I'm going to do going forward with regard to the seller in question. I also know that running a thread this way encourages sellers to string people along via PM in hopes of getting a higher offer in the thread. Not saying that was his intent. I did not run to thread to post a b/c 1) I thought we had an agreed upon deal [i believe SD acknowledges he felt the same way] and 2) I was proceeding through the airport to make a flight. Good for Roulette44. He gets the book I guess. Hope he enjoys it. I asked him to let me know when it's for sale again. This did not happen, but suppose a seller promises a buyer (who wishes to remain anonymous) that the seller will post a in the thread on the buyer's behalf. Seller then waits a day to do so. Would a new buyer in the thread get it, if the seller had the same rules here? C'est la vie. I've been looking for a nice DD #1 for a while now. This book had characteristics important to me. But, seems this one was not meant to be. Reading through all these posts I have to agree with this particular statement, and I would venture to say that this "probably" will resonate true for may potential buyers in the future. " I know what I'm going to do going forward with regard to the seller in question."
  7. That's a killer cover!!! Very Nice ! Here's the same cover, different #...think another boardie is responsible for this as well. -bc Canadian? Both are fantastic! I recently picked up a MT #93 and would love to work on these early horror books more seriously. Too funny! My only other Canadian is a MT...I like the early "Marvel Comic" round logo. Plus, how could you pass up "a Big Extra Value magazine"? -bc Just to get it back on the original theme...(I apologize for the decaying scanner bulb). (thumbs u
  8. That is such a gorgeous book Thanks, there are only 3 cover's from the run that I really like and so far I have acquired two. Picked this up from Worldwide comic's graded a 7.5 because of a chip on the rear cover, super happy with it.
  9. A jaw dropping copy of one of the best comics in all of the golden age +1 (thumbs u Beauty!
