  1. Finally managed to find a nice copy of #28 in 8.0. Now added to the set. 14 more to go!! Still looking for a #41 in 9.0 or better.
  2. I have had this issue too. Initially direct from FEDEX who wanted to charge duty (Received a letter/bill out the blue a few weeks after my delivery) Eventually got the charges reversed with them. Thanks for the link to the ebay form, I will check it out. I'm sure I've paid a lot of 'duties' over the last couple of years. Will need to go back and review my orders. This was my response to FedEx when receiving the letter but also shows VAT exemption number that maybe useful to others. (and ebay) Hi, I have received a duty and tax invoice for a package I received from America. I was under the impression that the item I ordered (comic book) was classed as printed matter and therefore had a zero rating (VAT NOTICE 701/10).The item delivered falls under The Value Added Tax Act 1994, section 30 (provides for the zero rating of goods listed in Schedule 8 to the Act).I believe the invoice sent to me is incorrect. Can you please contact me to let me know.
  3. I upgraded a couple issues in last nights comic-link auction. 71 from 9.2 to 9.4 - A tough one to find. & 74 from 9.4 to 9.6 There are some fantastic books coming up in Heritage's March auction: #5 in 9.2 #6 in 8.5 #7 in 9.4 - wow #17 in 7.5 #20 in 9.4 - wow
  4. FD. Some new options on ebay just listed for you. 95, 101, 102 in 9.8
  5. I'm very interested to see how it pans out. I notice a CGC 8.0 has also been listed for the same auction.
  6. Big Showcase news guys. The ultimate grail of our quest is coming up for auction. Showcase 4 in CGC 9.6. The one and only copy. Predictions please..........
  7. I am tempted to give it a go but funds are very limited now -Just picked up #15. Will post a pic when it arrives.
  8. I hope so, still need to add it to the collection in at least 7.5
  9. Someone must have found a bunch of number 1's. CGC cert numbers 4329456001-6007. 7 copies all ranging from 5.5 to 7.5. Interesting. 3 copies are up for auction at Heritage (7.5, 7.0 & 7.0). I assume the others will appear shortly.
  10. I am now at the crux of the collection. BIG money time. I still need the following issues: #1, 4-10, 13-17, 19, 22, 28, 41
  11. Just added #104 to the set in 9.4. Ideally would have liked a 9.6/8 but haven't seen one come up for sale in 3 years so I jumped on this one instead.
  12. FD - I've amended the above listings to auction format from buy it now.
  13. Hi FD, I've sent you links to the two books I've listed on ebay. 67 is the diamond run pedigree copy
  14. A very nice #38 in 9.8 is up on the mycomicshop auction. Finishing tonight, currently standing at just above $2k.
  15. Yeah, both Western Penn pedigree copies. Check out Tom's #1 Showcase registry set.
  16. I'm in the UK. It's convenient to use ebays global shipping programme. Everything is taken care off. Taxes, insurance, shipping and tracking.
  17. I'm going to put the 9.4 on ebay over the weekend if interested.
