What's your goal for the book? 

To resell or for your personal collection?.

While I like GPA it represents a sale to a customer, that customer is no longer looking for the book that created this entry. 

Why do I have so many copies of X-Men #137?  

Spidey label on a FF book. 

Has anyone received the new CGC return packaging?

what a page colour spread and the 2 covers higher than the given grade?

According to CGC, no book with Light Tan to Off White pages, no matter how nice the rest of it is, can receive a grade higher than 8.5

The max grade for a book with Light Tan to Off White pages is 8.5

Does CGC have a way to trace this back to the employee who did this?

CGC invoices used to be stamped with something like, "Inspected by #4".  Seems that didn't last too long.

Maybe we should do something like a football pool of where this thing ends up at. 

Go for it! Take the ball and run with it.

Anyone have this happen before? 

Just the opposite.  I sent some OA a couple of weeks ago and it's not showing up in my Auction account.  I emailed yesterday with no reply. 

Just got confirmation from ComicLink it will be added soon. 

@Brer247i What else did you get back?

That looks like a @The Black Hand ®  original.   Let's get him in here to decipher it.

but he had to sign a non-compete (the former employee).

Non-compete is very different from non-disclosure.

This is left open for me to do stuff. 

Wrong issue number on label.

@BlowUpTheMoon Pretry sure this shop is near you. I think you’ve dealt with Sleeping Giant before based on an old post from a Google search. Any info on the quality of items they usually carry?

This post from 2018 speaks to the types of books they have carried in the past in the store. 

 

I’ve been in their “store”, which is just a couple of converted rooms in an old school.  They’ve gotten my Mail because we have similar addresses. 
 

I remember seeing them sell the larger SA keys in mid-grades.   When they setup at a show locally, they don’t bring any inventory, just multiple copies of a handful of moderns. It’s odd.

Are those your books?

No, found them on FB.
