Get the big books graded before attempting to sell.

2 different grading companies so no 2nd time around to miss anything. So which is worse, the buyer who possibly bought a trimmed comic or the seller who sold an untrimmed comic for the trimmed price? I've sent comics to CGC that I suspected trimmed and a lot come back not even though they look suspicious. CGC job is to know the wacky cuts the printing process can do and identify them.

At one time the cover and interior were owned by me and cool to see that have found each other and got married. The cover was bought off eBay 6 years ago or so. It came with a matching back cover which I still own and it looks beautiful. The front cover was exposed to elements but not back cover. The interior came in a collection 2+ years ago that had a Tec 31 coverless and Tec 33 coverless missing CF. Whoever wins the auction should try and convince me to sell the matching back cover. I believe I have pics of all interior pages as well as inside front cover if the winner wants me to email them.

I'm not saying the process was easy. You have to deal with CIS, the outside agency that CIS uses to feel you out and make your story is legit, dealing with police, police detective, people who run Wizard, people at Rosemont convention center etc. It helped that it was 1 comic and I had a police report filed and purchase receipt on the comic. Could be a nightmare if box of 100 comics stolen worth 50K trying to gather receipts. Took just over 3 months to get payment. I also had great scans of the comic which haven't done any good at this point but one day I feel it'll turn up and be identified. I have a friend who had a theft a couple years ago and was insured by CIS and they dropped him before paying the claim which was about half of my claim. So who knows what criteria they use to pay, cancel, increase premiums etc. So far I feel fortunate but I miss my comic.

The stolen comic was mine. I will say Collectibles Insurance Services was good to me and paid out very close to my asking price. No increase in my rates to speak if and I'm still insured. Ive been with them 10+ years and never a claim. Thanks for bringing attention to mine and maybe one day it'll be recovered. Leroy

My 3 from 1939. My Jan 1940 comic is pretty cool but he's just not old enough.

That was a motivated seller who wanted to move a big key and the buyer will be very happy with the comic as well as resale value when they decide to sell. Nice looking 6.0 so hopefully a collector.

This is one of 2 pages I have in my collection.

Love the story! Congrats

BIN priced just lowered on this Cap 1 CGC 6.0 from 200K to 175K. What's everyone waiting for?

If this thread was showing the 3 comics you sacrificed to get a grail I could do that. Anyway that grail will come early next year so I can't post it yet. I did pick this 1938 Al Taliaferro Donald Duck art and framed it for my office. I believe this is the 3rd earliest known Donald strip art. Shown is the art and a screenshot of April 25 1938 newspaper comics page.

As a buyer I would be very happy. I was expecting it to hit 160K+ since it looked every bit the 5.5 grade so can't fault that.

Superhero not sure but just listed 150+ golden age War & Westerns tonight.

Yaniv congrats! Welcome to the club. Leroy

Awesome. When I take the family out this weekend I'll tell them this really nice Canadian paid for dinner. Should have got white pages.

Congrats Roy!

Yes it belongs to Dave and he will say I had a small part in convincing him to buy the Cap 1. Hi Dave and Bunky! Happy Thanksgiving!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing

What a life that should be celebrated! Still sad to see you go. RIP Stan

Batman 1 for me. When Batman tells Catwoman to be quite or Papa spank that sealed the deal for me.

Nope nothing.

Looks a lot like my Spidey 1 at first glance so I'll be able to spot it easy if I come across it.

So let me get this straight. We are wondering about a Ha Ha comic on HA?

Or maybe it's just me. No email address on any of the 50+ PayPal payment received emails I got last week yet 3 weeks ago all my payments have the buyers email address. I know eBay hates sellers knowing emails but why would Paypal care? Leroy

Good Luck!
