5.5 With the misc tears being the big CGC downgrades, great eye appeal, if you ever want to sell it , get it graded. The high gloss and color will get you at least a half grade from my initial 5.0 assessment

Its a tough black cover but I personally haven't had any problems finding a high grade copy. forIt (Meaning it USED to be an easier find, these books are very old acquisitions) I am glad to see that it is finding a premium price for HTF aspect. Slabbed and raw both HG

4 is a tougher issue to find in my experience, That 3 was a board members old copy.

That was a pretty good deal on the CBCS book IMHO. In my personal experience every crossover I have done have come back 1 to 2 grades higher. Just comes full circle to buying the book and not the label. Don't be surprised when you see this book in a CGC holder soon :P

Couple of million? Pretty sure this is the same book that was a 9.6 , slight color touch that Hammer snagged cheap before the market went bananas. And yes it is a stunner, that we can agree on

Well we don’t know if it really is his, I could crack one and obtain the same label.

Hammer aka Dupcak bought a SP 9.6 AF 15 a few years ago for under 10k ( slight color touch) I personally think this is the After copy . The 9.6 purchase was mentioned on these boards . Just an educated guess anyway

Take , thanks!

I would bet this book is the same one that Dupkak bought as a restored 9.6 slight color touch a few years ago

I would not pay the final value fees for that ASM 20, once they are paid they will register me again . Look don't get me wrong I am happy to help clear the air, but I have been selling for along time with some big books moving on Ebay , on the boards and privately. This isn't about me it is about the buyer Be very cautious if you are doing business with him , I would avoid him at all costs .

collectible_investment_services I am no longer on ebay as a result of this fiasco , now I will pay the FVF'S but likely will not re-register . Auction houses or dealers will be my preferred venue moving forward as there are too many guys like this one that are there. I have done a lot of business on this board and this is where I will stay. I hope that this thread saved someone from getting taken by this guy. Thanks for listening

What a load of , book was shipped a few days after auction closing fully insured When he won the book he was unable to pay in full and asked for an additional week to pay, it took him almost 3, but I thought I was helping out another collector not a thief. That is why there was a shipping delay This is the extent that I will entertain this any longer , I hope it serves as a PSA for some, if not I guess you will take your chances.

I had no doubt that this buyer/seller would continue lying about stealing this book from me. I have kept all the communications from the onset of the transaction and they are pretty all like this: On May 20, 2020, at 12:38 PM, Frank justiniano <frankjustiniano1970@yahoo.com> wrote:  If I had the book I would tell you.

If he continues to deny the allegations and slander me I will just submit my evidence to his local authorities, USPS , and the Feds as it crossed state lines. Bottomline is it is no technically his book as his credit card company sided with me after months of dispute, I am just warning other collectors out there to be very cautions with this guy as he is very dishonest.

Ah ..wrong forum I take it? I think I can move it and close this thread . Thanks !

Scott is selling his AF15? Where did you hear that? All of his ridiculous run is in the registry along with that stunning book https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/ComicView.aspx?PeopleSetComicID=674467

Pics? I am skeptical at this post

That 17 is very nice . Quite a lot of ear What do we think the toughest early ASM to acquire with White pages is? 15?

Just remove PayPal as a payment option . You still can accept credit cards as a payment option through either . When the auction closes the seller contacts you for an invoice . You send them an invoice through stripe or square and it's a done deal . Ebay allows for sellers to have buyers email address to complete payment . And they accept and allow either per their TOS . Once you get rid of PayPal you will never go back . I can promise you that , they are the worst !!

I prefer Stripe or Square to PayPal , less fees no holds , better customer service and instant transfers. Stripe also has some terrific tools for tracking sales . Both are extremely easy to use on eBay or wherever you may roam

The only caveat is that USPS is especially hard on registered mail in mine and others experience . The last big book I shipped this way ended up with a cracked slab and it was package to ensure an atomic explosion . No clue how it ended up damaged , thankfully it was just a reholder as it could have been a very bad situation as they only insure for 25k So plan accordingly

The last 3 9.4 that sold on ComicLink was the Twin Cities copy and it went for $28K, a very lackluster result if you ask me . The flipper , I mean buyer is trying to sell it for 60 k on eBay now as he does with many books I don't think this 9.8 is going to do as well as anticipated as some of the top buyers are not going after it . I would love to see the other GRADED 9.8 for comparison as this copy appears slightly over graded . Is it in a registry set ? But don't get me wrong it's a beautiful copy and way out of my price range or desire really . Top census single digit ASMS just don't make sense to me monetarily , as I would rather have a run of 9.0-9.4's personally .

Of course they don't , I don't know any insurance that covers damage by another party . Just like they wouldn't cover damage you caused . Say you dropped a slab or tore a page while reading , etc .... perhaps I miss read the posters thread but he was concerned about shipping loss .
