You don't want to arrest the crook BEFORE he commits the crime. Let the seller sell this fake chit and then throw the book at him.

They'd also rather go through the sale and deal with the eventual claim and refund just so they can have your money for a little while.

Please send the 15.000 books to CGC for 9.9 prescreen first before you sell.

Next time there'll be no next time...

I'm glad you two talked and it's resolved. My opinion is that he should not be allowed to sell here again. He has eBay and obviously is okay selling elsewhere. It's the disregard for the rules here that should get him banned. He should have never had the item listed on both venues in the first place. The end. Tired of hearing people's pity party "I needed quick money." That's fine. Then stay on top of your chit.

How much was the donation? Did he give until it hurt and then give some more?

Too soon?

Exactly! They take 14% so he gets $1548.

I remember obtaining my first copies of Primer 2 and Grendel 1-3 from Joe Koch. Been my favorite comics ever since.

Welcome to the boards! I say 4.5.

I hope he wasn't swapping books. Yikes.

For the record, my last pending submission with CGC has been shipped today. At this time I am taking a pause from submitting anything else. Not necessarily because of this issue, but because I don't feel like I have anything I want to submit right now. HOWEVER, I will note that the last few submissions I received AFTER this thing started came back really nice. I'm talking 4 submissions throughout February to today consisting of 26 comics and 2 magazines came back amazing. Cases were sharp and tight. Plus the high rez scans and tons of graders notes on everything below 9.4. That's my sample size and contribution to the data pool.

Thanks! Maybe I try that. I was wondering if I should post in the Want to Buy section since I do want to obtain a copy if it does exist... which at this point I believe there are a few issues floating around.

Maybe some dumb scammer swapped a higher grade book.

Still looking.

I picked up a copy of the first issue recently so I could put it next to my ASM 134 and giggle. When I was younger I would get the two "confused". Lol. I also just picked up 78-83 as I wanted to fill in some early Punisher appearances. I passed on issue 80 though because I read that was a filler issue or something.

You are quite welcome. It can be a be a bit tedious but many of the boardies here use this approach I'm sure. I myself work with data for my profession so I use those skills in my hobby.

I actually went on the CGC registry and searched through the Seven to Eternity set. I went through every member who has a registered set and checked out everyone who had a graded 9.8 copy of issue 1A. I then took the cert number and looked that up on the census to get the details. Probably about 5 or 6 members had an autographed copy with just Opena's signature. This member happened to have this particular copy from Opera's personal collection. Nobody had a double signed issue or even one just signed by Remender. I don't know off hand if that member/owner is also on these boards but it is possible to contact them through the registry. But I was thinking along those lines. If you can't find a double signed 9.8 maybe get a signed Opena copy and then hunt down Remender for a sig.

This one's still pretty cool.

Maybe the owner of that LCS had OCD.

How come both these ebay accounts have unnecessary Zs in their user names? jayzandsilentbobstash sleepinggiantzzz NOT Does Zanello really think he's a Batman villian?

It looks like there are currently 105 CGC 9.8 copies of this book that are all signature series. How many are double signed by writer and artist is unknown but I'd think at least half? Anyway, good luck @Kortoga and welcome to the boards!! WHEN (I won't say IF) you find a copy, please let us know and post a pic!

85 is the new 75! Now 8.5 is the new 7.5!

Just as a devil's advocate and one who struggles to repress EXTREME OCD tendencies, maybe to have consecutive serial numbers?

Oh! You mean Comic Book Station in Brooklyn. Yeah. Those guys!
