MCS has it so, if you buy it, you will definitely receive it.

Awesome! Thank you!

Dollar find

I wish I could find mine. Ugh. So frustrating.

I get an email from MCS letting me know that I have an offer, and the amount. I log into my account and can respond to the offer there. It's possible that the offers you made got stuck in the consignor's spam filter. Or they didn't like the offers and ignored them.

Thanks! I think I'm just gonna grab it for the full asking price. I don't think it was an offensive offer.It was less than 10% off and I just like round numbers. LOL.

If I buy it though, does MCS have the book already in possession or do they have to contact the seller and have them ship to them and then they ship to me?

Hey @Ryan.! I was trying to search for MyComicShop on here and stumbled upon your thread. I see you are consigning with them.

If someone makes an offer on their website, how do they contact you? I was going to email MCS or try to find them on here but I made an offer twice on a consigned book and it just expired again. Wondering if they just couldn't reach the consignor. Kinda anticlimactic. Sorry to bug. Good luck with the sales!

Hulk 1sts.

Grey, Green, Grey again, Red, vs. Wolverine, vs. Patch, Smart, Vol. 2, 1st Silver Surfer crossover outside the FF & his 1st team, the Avengers.

That's a really great display. Those covers all look awesome together.

I like spinning wheels.

Ah, didn't realize that was an option.

On a side note regarding USPS, sometimes I find that USPS can be bad at scanning things in even when they have received it. I once dropped off a package at the post office that didn't get scanned in until the day it was out for delivery at the destination branch. It was stuck in the label-printed/waiting-to-be-dropped-off-at-the-post-office status for over a week.  (still frustrating nonetheless)

Guess someone wanted to surprise you.

Comments like Wonkey are really not technical descriptions.   

I think it is clinical though as I've had a psychiatrist say that my brain was a little wonkey.

Authorized dealers can drop stuff off, but the general public cannot.

Oh! That would make sense. She had such arrogance about her I should have realized this.

One of my favourite Russ Heath pieces:

OMG. My favorite drawing in so many comics I read was this ad. It influenced me tremendously.

No, the public cannot drop off books at Sarasota. 

Did this change? I thought I saw a youtuber with purple hair and a big mouth taking her books there like a year ago. I stopped watching her videos because she was obnoxious.

I also have a Mage #6 with an obviously FAKE Matt Wagner signature. Personalized on the first page "To Barry". Barry got beat which is why I got his comic so cheap. What's the process if an autograph is fake?

I just bought a Grips #4 that has both a double cover and a Timothy Vigil '90 signature on the first page. This sounds like a good option but I think I'd regret having it encapsulated.

Sold!

That's weird. I just put an offer in on an 8.5. I'd love a 9.4 or higher...but but but...

So for those that don't know me, I was heavily influenced by 70s and 80's B&W self-published Indie comics. Grendel and Comico comics being my favorite. Discovered such titles as Nerve, Go-Man, Northguard, The Jam, Eagle, Grips, the Crow and eventually learned of the almighty Cerebus. So I see Dave Sim originally had been published in a title called Power Comics. Looks like that ran 5 issues. Have an opportunity to pick up the first issue for like $10 and then I see a set available for $45. I already feel like I should grab these simply because they seem right up my alley. But then I also wanted to see if anyone on here has ever read these and what they thought of them. Especially some Canucks.

When I plan to bid on a regular auction I never watch it. I set my snipe and keep track of it on the snipe service dashboard. Manual bidding and watching is so 2002, was not aware so many folks still do that...

Where's the thrill in that...

Great work indeed. Congrats!

Yes I agree, though my query is not really about its monetary value but its grade. I think that I am a pretty decent grader (for a Brit) but I've never come across this before and don't know where to start grading wise.

You need to supply more pictures. Need to see the back and without the glare. Otherwise it's an NG.

I was hoping it was another 9.9.

That sticker pull is a deal breaker.
