I got this note from Sean's wife to share with the group:
Thank you to everyone on the CGC boards who wrote such kind and eloquent posts about Sean. They were incredibly meaningful to me, our daughters, and the rest of our family. He really loved talking with all of you over the years, but I don’t think he would’ve expected this kind of outpouring.
For those of you who really dug his Rick Geary Frank Zappa avatar, I thought you might like to see where we have the original hanging in our home. It’s on the wall next to an oversized Zappa poster that Sean bought at Cheap Thrills record store in New Brunswick NJ when he was a student at Rutgers c. 1988. I had it restored for him about 15 years after he bought it, and it’s been hanging on our wall since then. We were both psyched to have the 2012 Geary pen and ink accompany it.

Please thank Bonnie for sharing this update. On an anonymous chat board, it's nice to get a glimpse into people's lives!

This is really an incredible gesture.
I think @jimjum12 is such an enduring figure around here, because he never judges or gets involved with drama. He just talks comics and treats everyone with respect and kindness.
It was really nice to see everyone rally around him.

I'm curious on everyone's opinion about pressing an already high grade modern that I will send in to be slabbed. Does this help raise the likely-hood of receiving that 9.8? Thanks!
You can post pictures in the spare a grade section here and folks will offer their opinions on pressing.
That Joey guy who just responded knows a thing or two about pressing.

Great grab. Great back story of the weird horrors cover art. I only recently learned it thanks to some fellow boardies.

Any idea what happen to the back covers? Some older collector cut out the ads? Or are these more thoughtful remainder copies?

I know Neal is loved for his Super hero work, but this is my favorite cover of his.

Any details on how it was stolen? At a show or through the mail?

Dang, I missed all the action yesterday. Including more protestations of "the book was returned exactly like I sent it!"
I will share an unpopular opinion: there is not nearly enough public shaming going on in the world. I don't mind the dog piling. It serves a very social purpose that has gotten lost in modern societies way of thinking: if you're an assclown, and a great many people point it out - you have two choices: change your assclowney ways, or go somewhere else that may allow you to continue to be an assclown.
This guy got dogpiled for being an utter turd of a seller, and he has now left the building. Worth it.
I agree with @ThothAmon - we don't need anymore rules. However, maybe a slight modification to the General Rules on Returns would be helpful. Such as 'Return shipping on a damaged package paid by the Seller' or something like that. As others have pointed out, regardless of how good or bad you pack something, if the shipping company damages it, the Seller is still responsible to land it in the condition it was purchased in.
It's a small thing, but I do read seller's return policies. And while this dingbat said "No Returns", I did not expect resistance upon receiving a damaged package. I don't know, nor care what this guy's problem was. I had a cool, inexpensive Sabrina 1, and he jacked it up by packing it poorly.
I don't know what else to cover, I consider all of this closed and am glad this dink has deleted his account and left.
I am big on personal accountability. It's the biggest thing I work on with my kids. When you screw up, don't deny it, don't run away, own it and fix it.
I see that lack of personal accountability everywhere! Work, society.
And I agree - he should have taken responsibility for this. He screwed up. He should have owned it. It was $5. He overreacted over a nothing issue.
But I still stand by my statement. People should weigh in on the situation - who is right and defining how to make it right - I see that as helpful. It's when the comments turn towards getting demeaning that they become counter productive. When you back people into a corner, your less likely to get your desired outcome.

I'm not seeing anything near $2500 pounds.
These prices are in US dollars but it looks like the last sale was $700.

Some of the pile on posts that prompted me to post this morning appear to have been removed. There's one, at least, that I can recall. That makes it look like I'm over reacting and siding with the guy who couldn't pack, and who took it badly when it was politely pointed out to him. I'm not. My advice was that people should own their mistakes. Separate to that, I said I didn't like pile ons. That comment took into account the nature of the removed post(s) and where the dialogue was heading.
I don't disagree with your sentiment.
Piling on can be counter productive and put people on defense. Instead of "learning a lesson" - they say screw it, let's burn it down.
And look, the self policing around here has done a pretty effective job at protecting a fee free selling venue for decades... so I'm not even telling anyone to change their ways.
I just think piling on over simple disagreements can be counter productive.
Piling on when it's out right fraud and deception - game on!

This resolution seems like an over reaction to a small situation.
On 1/6/2024 at 10:56 AM, ThothAmon said:I bought three books from this seller in an earlier sales thread for close to a grand. The packaging was Shiite and the books were “oversold” in my opinion. Worth half what I paid. As far as his treatment here? His behavior is what led whatever stick he’s gotten.
As someone who buys here a lot no new rules please. No need for one unless it bans packing peanuts and excessive tape.
This post is actually more concerning to me. Overgrading and under packing.

A civil law suit? This is strike 2…
I can appreciate the lawsuit, but shouldn't it be against the con artist that orchestrated the fraud?
Plus, they say they will compensate customers which is pretty reasonable.

As one of those people chasing high grade Charlton horror last night, I'm just going to have to learn to live without your approval.
They are tough to find, I had fun trying (and failing) to get them and I appreciate the work Dale puts into this thread every year.

Arg - I guess asking how long it will be in storage is like asking how long a piece of string is - thanks for info.
4 weeks feels like alot right now, though i haven't personally submitted books in over a year.
I would give them a call.
During covid, it was typical for books to sit unopened for months and months. The last I read from boardies it was moving relativity fast.

Vault of Evil #17 NM $50
Take
Cost difference % of blue label vs. purple label
in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Posted
There is no direct answer because different Restoration is viewed differently. Also the Era of the book and rarity of the book matters. Lots of variables.
For example slight Color Touch generally is viewed more favorably than trimming.
Extensive resto would be worth far less than Apparant.
If you a modern restored book, you might get $.10 on the dollar is your lucky. But if it's an apparant GA book with 15 on the census, it may get 75% a blue label.
If you have a specific example, it may be helpful.
