    I have refused to bid on any of the JSC covers that are signed by Stan and I know others who don’t want them, either, and haven’t bid. I’m sure it has hurt their auction results because the signature is a big turn off.

    100% agree. The X-related pages signed by Stan that I follow, I feel have gone for as much as half of what they should have. I don't bid on them. The signature looks out of place and feels tacky. And no matter how much window dressing the brothers try to apply to a cover I can still see that signature poking out from under the overlay. 

  2. At the end of last year, I bid over $1500 on two Heritage auctions and over $2000 on another before live bidding started. On two of the auctions, I won by exactly one bid increment and on the other auction I won with my top bid.

    Normally I limit myself to Morlock prices of under $500. I don't think I am the best judge of FMV, so I was a little bit surprised when the final prices fell where they did.  

    Maybe I’m being paranoid but going forward I will be sticking to just the live bidding. 

  3. Looks like I'm not the only one... I just opened up a charge back with my credit card company today for an unfulfilled order with Comicxposure (coming up on the 6 month window). I pre ordered the Uncanny X-Men #1 Jeff Dekal Exclusive through them with a few other X-Men variants. I emailed him end of November 2018 for an update and got a response saying they were still awaiting the Dekal exclusive and then received no response to further emails after that.

    How can he still run a business with so much bad debt? I know here in Australia we have a government organisation that would investigate and take legal action to shut him down should they receive enough valid complaints. Going by the amount of bad reports I've since found online I got to think that wouldn't be hard should a similar organisation exist in the the U.S. ?
