  1. If I had these books I'll get them cleaned and pressed. But then I don't have ASM 300's lying around.
  2. Front cover top right -- ding is clear. Back cover bottom right -- is that dirt?! Most likely not. I'll go 9.0+
  3. I am thinking the current grade is around ~5.0. The book would improve with a clean and press. But not sure how much of that would translate into grade improvement. Wait for opinions from more experienced members.
  4. I informed the boardie from whom I bought the book. And he also confirmed that this has happened to him too. So I guess this depends on the mailman too.
  5. USPS is leaving packages at my door without asking for signatures post COVID.
  6. I believe they want to use the same post as a recap later. The easy fix that some sellers opt is to prevent any 'take' on a book until the scan has been posted.
  7. I am so happy that it got resolved in your favor! While eBay and PayPal have come a long way to provide 'buyer protection', they're still lagging in terms of protecting the seller. The lack of 'seller protection' is the reason I avoid selling directly to other people. If something like this ever happened to me, I doubt that I would be able to fight my case like you did. Kudos. This is why I generally take the easy way and consign my books with an online retailer I trust. At the cost of 10% fees, I get the desired 'seller protection' in the aboslute sense.
  8. Which eBay/online dealers sells F/VF books as VG? Asking for a friend. 🤓
  9. Maybe the seller accepted best offer.
  10. I could not find this listing on eBay. Link?
  11. Most of the defects are light/very light creases. And we have to grade it based on scans without getting the book in hand. We did a good job I would say 😃
  12. 9.4+ As I never grade raw books higher than 9.4. I'm taking your word that the book is flawless. As far as CGC 9.8's are concerned they can have minor manufacturing errors.
  13. I also think it is a 3.0 I see that's the consensus grade. Good luck.
