  1. Good question! I really dunno, but 700k is a good start.
  2. Thanks for sharing and glad your items arrived from DHL. I think that the regular DHL shipping is quick and more or less on-time, but the DHL eCommerce side might take longer. I believe they are both different departments of DHL. Since I sold my item on ebay and could not directly ship it to Taiwan, I had to ship it via USPS to a local shipping center in CA and they then would ship it via DHL to the destination with a new label. I guess all that takes a lot of time now with the current state of the country. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what is going on. Sometimes another customer service rep and give you better answers. I hope that you get your stuff from the Netherlands soon!
  3. So as a seller, if say you choose not to register with this new ebay managed payment program, can you still use sell on ebay? I am waiting too until close to the deadline.
  4. I'm also a member of a sports card forum and a member recently posted that Fedex lost his card that is worth 5 figures saying that when Fedex received his package, it was empty and that it never left the Memphis station for who knows how long. Might be a FedEx worker who found out how much the package was insured for and he/she may have stolen the card. I'm currently having a problem with DHL eCommerce for an international shipment that hasn't left the facility for over a month now. Last tracking status it has says that the package was scanned in a sack/container. When I called them up, they said that they need to fill up that shipping container first before it gets sent out. Anyone else having problems or have experiences with DHL eCommerce international shipment?
  5. I think any of the major keys sold this year will look like bargains down the road
  6. Must be the one that sold at Hakes last year. Just talking about pricing now in 2020.
  7. Yeah, I too believe it would sell for less. Guessing in the 700k neighborhood.
  8. I say no also given the state of the economy. Might see a copy with a buy it price best offer, but doubt in an auction platform.
  9. Seems like Tec 33 is a $8-$9k point book in lower - mid grades
  10. The least CGC should do I think is to put on their blue labels that color touch was removed. They have golden age books with small amount of color touch on cover, but why can't they do the opposite as well?
  11. That's like a once in a blue moon collector piece. I'd leave it sealed.
  12. I believe I was just browsing the CGC website when I was submitting books to grade and happened to have stumbled in the forums
  13. Looks like an IGB heavily worked on book. Why else would it be in a CBCS holder..
  14. All about the $.. nothing less, nothing more
  15. Yup exactly Ben! Maybe CBCS thought it was cleaned where in fact it wasn't? It just doesn't make sense how a cleaned cover can be reversed. If it were dry cleaned let's say, the note on "cover cleaned" shouldn't be on the label.
  16. I think the results for most of the golden age books that sold on CL was pretty solid. Many think that CL only generates good SA and BA results and lower for GA books compared to the other two big venues, but this time I thought the consignors did well from the ones I was tracking.
  17. I can't remember a time where there was a reversal in cover cleaned books. This may be the first I've seen. Usually cover cleaned books are irreversible, unless it was dry cleaned but the label didn't state that. Reinforcement to my knowledge would be a problem to remove because the cover could be loose or possibly detached. It was gutsy for the person who did the resto. removal, and if it were me, I'd leave it alone. But anyways, there is a bad stigma with this book now that the full history is shown.
