    I put an order in with them back in July that didn't contain anything outlandish. It was some Venom 25, 26 and 27s with 2 of their freebies, a peter parker spectacular spider-man 30 and a fantastic four 1...

    3 months later, they still show the order but never sent the books and never responded to any of my messages. 

    Are there any extenuating circumstances over there that anyone knows of to explain this? Am I alone in this happening? I have ordered other things from them in the past with no problem.

    Definitely contact your credit card and get your money back. I'm really not sure how they're even in business still, considering how many chargebacks they must get from credit card companies. I tried getting their account suspended with Stripe (their payment processor), but unfortunately I was not successful.

  3. I've got a few books that I'll only have for sale this weekend - they're heading out for consignment on Tuesday if they don't sell. Prices are listed alongside the books below, and the price includes shipping via UPS. Feel free to PM me offers, but a "take it" in the thread trumps PMs. If you would rather ship another way I can accommodate but will charge the actual shipping amount you select. Payment via PayPal is preferred, and no returns on slabs. None of these were pressed.

    Okay onto the goods:

    Venom 26
    Inhyuk Lee Convention Variant
    $350

    The white dot on the forehead was on the scanner bed, not the book itself. I can take another scan/photo if needed. 

    Strange Academy 1
    Peach Momoko Comic Mint Variant
    $300

    The graders notes will indicate the issues. You can move forward from there once you get those. A poorly pressed book can introduce subtle defects to an otherwise perfect book. 

    Only if there actually are graders notes. I've had a 9.2 and a 9.4 come back with no notes before. 

    Biggest difference I had come back was a book I thought was a 9.4 or even a 9.6 come back as an 8.5. Turns out I sent in the wrong copy of the book, and the NM one was still in the bag in my short box. Oh well.

    This cover is amazing. Ordered mine already. This series is one of the best books around right now IMO. If you're not reading it, you should be.

    I may have to give up on my quest to own every cover of the series. As it gets more popular there are bound to be more store variants, which is something the first 10 issues haven't really had outside of issue 1. I'll definitely be picking up the Peach cover, though - incredible work!

    If you read that, you'd see that more than 180 copies are printed.....

    Whether those "extras" actually get destroyed is all a marketing gimmick. Money makes people say/do stupid things; brings out the greed.

    They've done this before (I own the Venom 25 Maer Ultimate) and they really do destroy the amount printed outside of the sold amount. The reason they overprint is to make sure all copies they sell are 9.8. 

    The complimentary copies that they distribute are given to people like the artist, and I would suspect there are less than 20 of them in total.

    i have a NM 87 signed by Liefield baaackk in the day he was at a Mall in San Francisco......i talked to him for a bit.  Nice guy.   But no COA.   So i guess thats why i have to slab it and get it "certified" for yellow?

    CGC won't certify that. You'd get a qualified label and it would say "name written in marker on cover." Only Voldy certifies signatures that aren't witnessed.

    No, I truly believe it was a mistake on their part on this one. 

    If this was the first time it happened I would agree. But these books were graded this month and the issue has been going on since character labels were introduced. Brittany's post about the problem was from last year - surely they could change their system if they wanted to but so far they haven't.

    I was bummed that I missed out on Momoko ASM #47.  That one sold out quick.  Oh well.  (shrug)

    If you mean #46 Comic Mint still has the trade dress available. If you meant 47 I'm in the same boat as you in missing out because I haven't seen anything about it. 😕
