Stains on back cover
Albert Thurgood replied to skully58's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
On the basis of the FC, I would grade the book as a 3.5. CGC hammers the grade if there are stains even on the back cover, so could get to 3 or even 2.5 even before considering the missing stamp. -

After finishing equal last on the Round 1 grades, it seemed to me that CGC was grading at least 1 grade higher than they did when I started learning about the grading system here a few years ago. So I added 1 level to what I thought the grade should have been and got two bullseyes. If this is not a fluke, the good news is that my entire collection of raw books has got a huge upgrade!

Frank Frazetta’s Best Cover?
Albert Thurgood replied to LDarkseid1's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Agree completely with you about FF 214. To even more nitpick the WSF29, I don't see the central figure as "the hero" but as a ruthless invader. The others are obviously trying to defend their home, with what look like juveniles in the cave. -
At one time I had about a dozen or more FF#1. I wouldn't have thought I would discard them, but after decades and many moves, they are no longer with us.

Could it be that buyers of raw books from ebay get the sellers to send them direct to CGC?

Seller do not want to ship internationaly, how to do?
Albert Thurgood replied to BA773's topic in Comics General
I use myUSA freight forwarders. They are very good with the lowest charges I have found. As a bonus for you, they can ship by DHL so you can get it delivered in a couple of days. Coincidentally, they are also based in Sarasota FL. The books I have bought from people here (hi!) have all been sent to myUSA who then forwarded them to me. Info here: https://www.myus.com/about/ -

Marvel UK Price Variants
Albert Thurgood replied to Get Marwood & I's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Very nice! I hoped I had one of the best SA collections in Australia but you beat me by having Hulk1. I would be interested how you got these. I assume you did not get them as OO because Australia got books with US prices in the '60s. (And we usually did not get the first three issues of a series). -
What's new in your Silver Age collection this week
Albert Thurgood replied to Silver's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I bought this a long time ago from @ThothAmon. This is his photo: It has been with my daughter since then until she could bring it to me when visiting us in Australia. So it is just in my collection this week! Glad to see it at last, and it looks better in real life. Thanks, Thoth!
