This is Who We Are

If anyone can clarify, If sending a book in to be pressed is that wait time separate from the grading wait time? Thanks!👍🏻

At some point faith enters the picture—- that the folks who are grading have Integrity 👍🏻

Creepy 1, Creepshow, and psycho yearbook double cover Some comics as well- sandman 8 GI joe 1, and tomb of Dracula 1👍🏻

Sent several mags out today...ever the optimist I’ll hope to get back to you all in a couple years And if they hurt my mags I’m gonna be fuming

Thank you all for the grading and pressing advice! I’ve decided to send it off — I’m curious to see what the CGC pros grade this as . I’ll provide an update in 2024👍🏻

shop around, and negotiate—amazing how flexible these places may be...what I’m saying is don’t necessarily accept the first offer👍🏻👍🏻

I don’t believe so- I think this can occur in manufacturing

I have a sneaking suspicion that you’ve caught the illness...it messes with a person’s head, gnaws at Them keeps em up at night...one of the cardinal symptoms driving the above you ask? Uniformity—Needing ALL the Frazetta grades in 9.6. !😂 Great haul👍🏻

. That's summit - level stuff. wowzah!

Skywald Skywald Skywald and other horror pubs Ok! I’ve got what I feel is one heck of a special archived thread... HUGE thanks to Bounty Coder when he started this many moons ago and to those who offered their wisdom. I hope you’ll agree that its contents needed to be pulled from the crypt to once again see the light of day👍🏻... I hope I haven’t inadvertently cursed myself

In 2022 I’m hopin for three skywald mags 👍🏻 Nightmare 15 in 8.5 or better Nightmare 18 in 9.0 or better Psycho 18 in NM- or better and lastly, a pet unicorn

Thanks again! My phone has picked a poor time to not focus consistently. I’ve posted new pics nice corners lays flat and smooth. Staple impressions that don’t break the covers

Thank you so much! You are always so helpful! Truly appreciate you!

I have what is a really nice book. Staple impressions can be seen in front and back cover. Doesn’t tear covers- front or back I’ve seen this on high grade books but am wondering if this affects the grade? I’ve included some pics to hopefully help. Thanks!

Thanks, that's a great question and one I'm just not entirely sure about so would defer to the experts here

A favorite cover👍🏻 Looks very nice in hand and am tryin to determine if worth the time to get slabbed . Thanks!

You clearly missed the crux of my message. Businesses will do what businesses have done-these laws were in place really to keep them in line, but the many casual hobbyists who sell here and there, who make places like Ebay exciting and worthwhile, will likely hold off on using these forums. Curious, do you get kickbacks from the IRS for posting comments in this thread? Asking for a friend

Sadly, prices are going to go up to account for this. My guess next year when most discover they owe taxes on their used, already taxed goods. The fun in treasure hunting will lose its glow as more “little guys” decide its just not worth the hassle to list things...or the deal they would’ve offered is no longer feasible.

thank you! I rescanned! Hope that's better!

Greatly appreciate the input! I honestly don't see these come up in high grade. Was this low distribution (sorry, now I'm deviating from the grade request). Thanks!!!

For those just starting out (and seasoned as well), I wanted to pull up a link to a thread originally posted by NERV. All credit to the original poster and to those who added their wisdom. I recall there being a great thread on skywalds, but alas, it eludes me...

I don’t believe such reporting requirements exist for PayPal friends and family and with some semantic gymnastics it could be said that every one who engages in a friendly exchange is well, a friend

Greatly appreciate thoughts on my copy of Creephshow- tryin to decide if worth sendin to slab. The white on bottom left of the back is lamp light
