I love a good discussion. I typically try to wait a bit before bringing a book back to the boards (if its not snatched up on other outlets) but it came in right before I started a sales thread. I never begrudge anyone flipping the books I sell them either here on the boards or elsewhere.

Wow!

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Maybe they invested in their top ten hot books?

Ironically, hiring more resources can result in longer times in the short-run. Resources are dedicated to hiring and training the new people. Additionally, those new people will not be operating at the same quality/efficiency level as the more experienced workers. For now, i am blaming Star Wars. When I called them last week the rep said they had hired some new graders but it takes some time to get the new guys kicking out books as fast as needed. He also said they are experiencing and exponential growth in books being submitted which they are having a hard time getting a handle on. Considering the new grading company must have taken some of their potential work load it translates into a LOT of books getting slabbed. Damn flippers!

GR 3 was at the news stands so I guess your new nickname is... SON OF SATAN! What a coincidence - my nick name as a child was Satan's Spawn.

September 1973!

I paid $150 for what is shown. Would I have paid for it if it was shown in an auction? I'd have been on the fence since I've already got tons of TPBs and random books but the low grade key books would have paid for my investment and the rest would have been fun reading and the figures look fun - so I'd say yes to buying it in an auction but just barely.

I know this is slightly a moot point since mystery boxes are not outlawed but I wanted to clear the air in terms of how my last mystery box turned out. I posted my previous mystery box contents which I felt was way light in value and Jason let me know he would make it right in my free second box. Here is what I received from the two boxes: The key books are fairly rough but complete and readable except for the DD 158 which is right on the edge of high grade. I will have to say this is the best $150 box I've ever gotten from Jason but it was his Birthday thread so maybe it was his intent to wow people with the second box. But to fair I thought it was important to show the good after showing the bad.

Just got out of a double header of Ant-Man and the recent terminator. I liked Ant-Man but it barely was better then the Terminator. There was definetely some funny parts and I really enjoyed all the fight scenes. All around good B+ flick.

I'll take that bet. I should have made the bet. The set is now listed as shipped/safe but none of the data has been filled in yet. I assume they are filling it in right now. I have the Grading/Quality as of 7/20 also..Maybe I'll get to see my grades today!!! Strangely I have 3 SS books submitted at the same time and those three are stuck at the Graded stage. Does it take longer for SS books?

Now I see the data. I got a 9.6 on that Peter Parker 64 - should have pressed it like you suggested. Not too bad for my first submission by myself.

I'll take that bet. I should have made the bet. The set is now listed as shipped/safe but none of the data has been filled in yet. I assume they are filling it in right now.

I'll take that bet. You know the CGC system way to well to bet against..

Oh yea - there is a X-Men 137 in there. I never got past the stack of NM 98 and the Hulk 181.

I just got a response message from Jason and he is at work for another 90 minutes and he will come on after that.

I am always happy to support sellers who do a great job meeting or exceeding my expectations so I typically post up the contents of the mystery boxes I get from Jason when I get them. I don't think it's fair to voice my like for his past sales threads to not post what I got. In almost all cases he has met or exceeded the FMV of $150 or whatever I spent in my opinion. I do notice not a lot of people post the contents of their boxes and I assumed they wanted to keep it secret for flipping purposes but maybe people were not getting their value from them. I don't like getting far less then I expected but I'm more concerned Jason isn't returning PMs or defending himself in the PM thread or on here. I'm hoping he is just swamped processing the new collections and nothing worse.

I am one of the PM group and although this round of mystery boxes is not Probation List worthy it appears several if not most of the people involved have contact Jason about the quality of the mystery boxes. I have contact Jason about my box and we will hopefully work something out because I am not pleased.

Wow - not the reviews I was expecting for this movie. Thought it had stinker written all over it. Maybe Saturday afternoon I'll go see it. Next you guys will be telling me FF 4's new movie is good.

Not sure why they added that. Maybe some folks took it as a heads-up that the seller and buyer might not be coming to terms for whatever reason, and thought they could get next in line. Missed that. I guess I can understand the confusion or at least wanting to be first in line if a pending deal fell thru.

I simply can not believe not one but 4 people would PM a seller and request he sells a book to them if the buyer backs out. I don't have access to all 4 PMs but I can't imagine all four of them did not insinuate or ask the seller to sell the book at a higher price to them. It was a great price for a low grade Daredevil 1 but come on - FOUR people thought it was worth a PM offer when we all know DCMan is a person who buys the books he takes. I don't get shocked often on the boards but that was crazy.
