so today I was eating lunch and I found this book store and and it's filled with boxes and boxes of old books and in the back there is this a bin of old comics don't know if there is more and I only had time to look through a few of them.

I don't have an eye for old comics so i just bought by how cool the cover were.

.

Might have to go back tomorrow and take a better look.

I know right! I just got my 9.9 back from cgc and it has this card board fluff inside it. I really don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back in. I wonder if they will reslab it for free at Florida supercon next year?

should be here tomorrow. Took 9 business days I guess fast track was worth it.

got a 9.9 and 9.8

oh man I will never use usps for cgc ever again. I live about 3-4 hours from cgc HQ. The package got shipped 8/15/2019 it got to Miami at 5:30 pm 8/16/2019 about 30 min from where I live and it stayed there until today 8/20/2019 and all of a sudden I get a message saying delivery attempted at 1:35pm (who is ever at home at this hour on a work day???) They gave no warning no out for delivery nothing. So now I have to pick it up in the morning before i go to work.

UPS got it to me the next day when i went with them. So I guess I will stick with UPS from now on.

Thor #1 CGC 9.8 just sold in auction for $201.50... book still hot.

FWIW CGC updated the key comments on all the Jane/Thor books, and they are as follows:

What if #10 - 1st Jane Foster as Thor (Out of Marvel Comics Continuity)

God of Thunder #25 - Jane Foster as Thor in flashforward, in cameo sequence, predates Thor #1

Thor #1 - Jane Foster becomes the new Thor

Thor #8 - Jane Foster revealed as the new Thor

I'm new to this so sorry for the noob question. Would it be better to sell Thor #1 as soon as possible or wait for the movie release date to be announced?

my first cgc submissions just came back this week.

If cgc stated that the book has been pressed on their labels would it sell for less than a book that has not been pressed with the same grade? I wonder how the market would react with this change?

So I sent in Dan Mendoza 10 year anniversary book limited to only 80 (NSFW) https://www.stillillprincess.com/product/still-ill-10-yr .

But the description in the tracker says Sad Girl Psycho Baby St. Patrick's Special 1 3/19 Still Ill Princess Second Printing/Manga ""Risque"" Edition.Will this be put on the slab?

Edit. Nvm contacted them and they said it will be fixed once it enters the grading room.

You can never go overboard when it comes to what you consider protecting your books for a trip through the mail.  Handling can be done differently from one person to another...minimally protected items might make it through unscathed while maximum protection might still get a rough treatment that affects the contents.

Your packaging looks great to me!  When I send mine out, I normally send up to seven books and separate each one with a separate piece of cardboard.  Then I use the bubble wrap from the last set of books received back from CGC to pack it in the box.

Welcome to the boards!

Thank you. Just sent it out a few hours ago.

Is this overkill? I followed the cgc video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTFshXVtTUI but I just added big bubble wrap around it.
