150k would buy you a 9.2 of hulk #1

I know where my money would be going.

I sold my first comics on ebay in a couple of years last weekend.

no payment, no communication at all from the buyer in 8 days, Not time to worry yet, but annoying all the same.

almost $800 deal with don

flawless in every single way

highest recommendation possible

great guy full stop.

bought a few times from Tom before he came here.

An absolutely fantastic person not only to deal with, but a brilliant person full stop.

just the one for me this week

that's a fantastic looking 3.5

a few of my recent pickups

recent bay of fleas pick up

a couple of new additions, couldn't be bothered scanning them, so just using the original listing pics

my first purchase in about 12 months

Another UK dealer with bad grading is East Coast Comics, also known as Rybac on ebay. I think the guys name is Richard Crane. I've only asked for a refund 3 times in my collecting career, 1 of them was Quicksilver and another was Rybac. I bought from him on ebay and at a show (before I could grade any good) and both were badly graded. Then a long time later I wanted a modern that I'd missed and he had it on ebay and even that was poor condition. Not impressed.

I bought 4 'nm' Spidermans from him in the 117-139 range.

they came back from CGC as (all blue label)

9.2, 9.2, 9.4, 9.4

so I've had no real complaints with them.

not sure if this counts as silver age, but picked this one up very recently

my first slabbed 'pre hero' ST.

my first purchase for a while

top census and a ped

always a pleasure to deal with you Nik

3 more high grade spidey run fillers

I'm out $240 to Matmarvels, for six X-23 comics, which He says shipped 11/22/07. I understand I should'nt have waited so long to post this... at least now I can say I gave Him more than the benifit of a doubt to resolve this problem... at the moment He hasn't replied to My PM's. this was My 1st buy thru these forums. now it will probably be My last.

UPDATE: Well, well... what do Ya know... I got home a few mins ago from work, and in My mail box is a missed mail notice in there, on the notice is the same tracking # He gave Me after shipping the comics. Looks like My fears, and complaints were false & premature. Tomorrow I will head over to the post office, and pic up My much anticipated package, YEEAAHH BAABYY!

 

 

BTW" Took long enough though...

sadly this is always a potential problem with any international shipment in November or December due to Christmas really impacting on the mail.

very glad to hear it all worked out in the end for you

some early bronze run fillers

from blazingbob

and from flaming telepath

and a copper one

importantly

were they 6 slabs or 6 raws

as there is no realistic way to send 6 slabs by airmail to the US or Canada without costing close to $100. (there's a 2kg weight limit for standard airmail)

if it's gone surface mail to canada then there is a very real chance that the items are still en route, particularly as christmas has been in the middle.

surface mail to canada is spectacularly slow, to the US very slow, but not quite as awesomely slow.

I've had a surface mail package from canada take 7 weeks to get to me, even without christmas in the way.

it's about a month my record from the states.

 

Nice books. We have similar collecting goals. Where do you stand with graded ASM between 200-300?

201-300 isn't really a priority of mine at the moment, so I only have half a dozen at the moment in 9.6/9.8

I'll eventually go for 201-300 in 9.6 or better
