  1. Thanks. Maybe I can sell it to that rare collector who specializes in bad wraps?
  2. Thinking about getting it graded. Whatcha' think? Thanks
  3. Yes. Definitely could use a press if I submit it. If I press it out what grade do you think it would be? Thanks
  4. Thanks. Yes I was going to go on there strictly to speculate on a comic and buy multiples. Does Midtown and others do the same?
  5. I'm on their site right now. Can you order multiple copies of a new comic? Because I've been trying to add multiple copies of a new book but don't see how it's possible? Don't see a quantity choice at all?
  6. Thanks. Why do you think it's better to submit them myself? I only ask because I'm not yet a member, but maybe I should be at this point.
  7. I have a whole bunch of stuff that I'd like to get either a 9.8 on or nothing. . My LCS owner that I submit to CGC through has not done the pre-screen option before and is not familiar with it. From what I've heard you get charged $2.00 if it doesn't pass muster and you leave your credit card on file. Is that right? What has been your experience with using the pre-screening options? Has anyone done this through a LCS? I'm wondering if I should just submit myself?
  8. Thanks. Have you really had them open your packages?
  9. Comics would be eligible though? Wouldn't they?
  10. Good idea. I've got quite a few sets of the dreck.
  11. For the past 6 months or so I've been selling CGC books on Ebay. Sorting through all my comics today I realize that the vast majority are not going to be worth a trip to CGC but there's still stuff there. So how does one sell raw books on Ebay (or here?) Do you find that you need to offer returns? I notice some people on Ebay don't offer returns on raw books? Is it better not to give a grade? Or just always give a lower grade? What's the most cost effective way to make sure that books get safely to the customers? What's the best way to pack the comics? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  12. Getting ready to submit a batch for possible pressing at my LCS on way to CGC. I'm no expert at seeing "good" defects that can be remedied with pressing. Or "bad" defects that pressing cannot t fix. Any good examples? Visuals? Thanks!
  13. Looking through recent sales: Sold for $10.00? https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-300-May-1988-Marvel-/264902048707?epid=85528898&hash=item3dad647bc3%3Ag%3AqG4AAOSw9iNfifEn&nma=true&si=T178tEOjS14x9d1lboGjSyZkiEE%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 9.2 for $99.00? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Spider-Man-300-Marvel-Comics-5-88-CGC-NM-9-2-0027677005-/174463349739?hash=item289ed373eb%3Ag%3APDoAAOSwlBVfeR1a&nma=true&si=T178tEOjS14x9d1lboGjSyZkiEE%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 ???????

  14. Kind of hard to believe. But, I'm sure you're right that I can't do anything about it anyway.

  16. Yeah. That's probably about it. Good to know I'm such a great writer that I get plagiarized.
