There shouldn't be a problem.  Mycomicshop is pretty reliable and if there's a problem they usually address it quickly.  Let us know how it goes.

I intend to. and thanks. it just surprised me when I tried to use my credit card and I couldn't because there is a 500 dollar limit. my purchase was 110 dollars over the limit. I never heard of a place in the 2000's not taking credit cards for payment. But Este has answered all my questions and she gave me an extension to pay. I just got nervous when I was told I had to pay by check or money order because that give NO buyer protection. I had never heard about them before so when I did a search I was glad I found this post as stated. If anything, I will post for first time buyers of the shop so they kind of know a little bit more of what to expect and aren't surprised like I was. If all else fails Texas is only a hop, skip, and jump away from me.

there are ways to tell if a book is pressed. I just bought a Giant size xmen 1 from the original owner who bought the book in the 70's and he is old fashioned and doesn't even know what cleaning or pressing a comic book is. They are rare but they are out there. That was the original thrill about collecting was finding a book in great shape. now its manufactured to a condition that it actually is not.

Guilt, if I ever want to resell it I feel like I would have to make a note of the issue

As a buyer of books, I appreciate this. I do not buy books that have been pressed or cleaned. and 'CGC" does stand for Certified GUARANTEE...it looking like the guarantee isn't all what its cracked up to be. I had no idea these issues were going on when I got into graded books.

I am relieved to see this thread. I will be making my first purchase with mycomicshop.com and I got nervous. I got nervous because I went to pay and the website says you can't purchase anything that exceeds $500.00 with a credit card. you have to use other forms of payment. All kinds of red flags came up when I spoke with Este and she said I would need to use a money order or cashier's check. The auction I won was $610.00. I was not sure if the place was legit or not. After seeing this forum and they actually have a presence I am relieved. I just hope my order doesn't get lost or I get the wrong item. I will report somewhere here how my experience goes if this is the proper place to do so. I will say after discovering they are legit I have to give a complement to Este. She has answered all my questions and gave me a payment deadline extension after I was surprised I could not use my credit card for anything over 500.  And my first purchase from them is a CGC graded 5.5 copy of Tales of suspense #40 My first slab book!!  im excited ! I hope I don't get addicted to slabs. lol.
