*update*

I got a tracking update around 9 am this morning that said the package was delayed. I got another as late as 10:30 that said the same so I went out for lunch. While I was out FedEx tried to deliver .

When they buzzed my apartment the system is connected to my cell, so I answered the call and the FedEx guy said he could leave it at the local depot which is the Staples 2 blocks from my place. This is far better for me as the main Fedex depot is on the other side of town from me ( 1 hour round trip).

I went to pick the book up right after lunch but it had not actually arrived at the Staples yet. The guy working the front counter offered to call me when it did arrive and he called me 45 minutes ago.

I am home now with book in hand. I am happy the long ordeal is finally over...or is it?

There is crud on the inside of the case. 

Happy that the book arrived Karl!  It looks great.  Ignore the case.

Hi Karl,

Sorry to see that you are having such trouble getting your book.  I would call FedEx, this has worked for me when things have gotten hung up with them.

Good luck!

As far as HIGH grade goes, it's my experience that Human Torch #32 is far and away the hardest to find in high grade. Yes, the Promise Collection yielded a beautiful 9.6, but beyond that, the Universal census drops all the way down to a lone 7.0, then a pair of 6.0s. I can't remember if John ever told me of the condition of the Church copy. It's likely high grade, but HOW high grade, I cannot say. USA #11 IS very difficult to find in high grade as well, but with a 9.4, a pair of 9.2s, an 8.5 and a pair of 8.0s, there are a half dozen of what most consider high grade out there.

How about Subby 32? - two 8.5 as highest grade (MH and Okijima).  Promise was a 7.0

Or Subby 31 -  one 8.5 (Promise) then a 6.0
