  1. Sorry you're laid up L. As my elderly neighbor used to say to me before she passed, "Don't get old!" But I'll bet as soon as you recover, you'll be up for the all out job.
  2. I've been on vacation and need to catch up. These mostly hum-drum copies anwways.
  3. Welp, the old packages say "42 mil" on the front and the new apparently says "34 pt" based on the photo the OP posted. The thing I notice the most is that they've gone to a much lighter shade of blue on the packaging. In fact, the first time I saw these on a dealer's table at a show I wondered if they were legit or not.
  4. Yes, but the OP continually asks the same question with a random bunch of books in random grades. The question I asked has been posed before and the OP didn't answer.
  5. You can of course ask anything you want, but I continue to find these comparisons of random books in random grades kind of baffling. There's millions of back issues out there. Are you for some reason limited to buying from the stock of one and only one dealer?
  6. Thanks! I found me a link with more info: https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/shipping/choosing-a-carrier-and-service/ebay-standard-envelope @electricprune
  7. To the best of my knowledge, you cannot. I recently had to mail some small, flat items and couldn't find the means to print a label like that either on ebay or Pirate Ship. I just went with the manilla envelope.
  8. Very nice! Speaking of low census numbers, here's a few of mine. I think My own Romance #74 and Love Romances #84 are each 1 of 1.
  9. Since the label says "Does not affect story," the "missing page 3" must refer to the first half of the third wrap, which is a house ad on one side (Daredevil #17/Spider-Man #38/Marvel Tales #3) and two half-page ads on the other. The third numbered page is a story page. I confirmed with my raw copy, more details here: https://www.comics.org/issue/20188/ Although my mom always taught me unasked for advice is often unwanted, $1350 is *way* too much to pay for that book.
  10. 6 months! November 1960 for Kid Colt and May 1961 for Gunsmoke Western. Luckily I have all the indicia for my SA Marvels memorized. But I'm no expert on job numbers. Maybe those weren't so far apart. Where's Dr. Michael J. Vasallo when you need him?
