ASM 44 - 6.5 OW $65 take

Excellent. I guess my gif worked then.

Up periscope... I believe there is interest in the Silver and bronze Spideys and X-Men

Agreed. I was trying to show him some run of the mill slab damage caused by rough mail treatment.

Typically the 2nd generation slabs are the most fragile but you will mostly see damage at the corners. Scuffs on the front or back of the case can happen to any slab. I was able to recoup some money from the post office on all of the slabs pictured below but it is a pain in the rear. You are paying for insurance with priority mail so don't be afraid to file a claim if the post office beats the hell out of your box.

Which they did not have to do.

I wish there was a way to permanently ban these people and prevent them from opening another account.

I don't want to take over this thread but my interest in this topic is as follows. I was the second person to get to cherry pick out of a 2000 book estate sale collection. I messaged the estate executor within 5 minutes of her Facebook marketplace posting and because I am active duty military she made an exception and allowed me to come cherry pick a few books (she wanted to sell the books as a lot and soon after I left she sold them for around $5000). She had a full Walking Dead and Watchmen run but I focused on various early less than issue 100 Xmen and a near complete 100-300 run (missing a few keys). She told me her late brother was a security guard in Tampa and "was Stan Lee and the other guys favorite security guard" during comic conventions in Tampa for the last several decades. As a result many of the books in his collection had unverified signatures. I can't swear on their authenticity because I wasn't there at signing so they deserve a green label. I want to get them slabbed because I am active duty military and I move a lot so the slabs help protect my collection in transit. I was able to buy all of these books between $5-$25 each. After combing through past sales on gocollect it seems that a green label signature seems to cut roughly 25-50% off of fair market value of an equivalent grade blue label although some sold at FMV at the time. Pics below. Would anyone else have picked up these unverified signature copies for $5, $15 and $25? The signatures appear to be in the shape of Chris Claremont and Jim Shooter. I have roughly 25 more raws in similar shape that I haven't inventoried and pictured yet.

I am eagerly awaiting your results. Good luck!

I just received three great raw books from one of Dan's sales threads. They were expertly packed and arrived promptly. Communication was excellent throughout the transaction. I hope to deal with you again in the future. Thanks Dan!

Beautiful book!
