Excellent seller. Shipped quickly and safely! Would definitely buy from again!

Best quick story is to tell is how you made a killing on a comic book first appearance. Helps if the super-hero is movie popular. For example, an early Spider-Man (any SA) or Black Panther (FF 52) or Wolverine (IH 181). Kinda like Antiques Roadshow

Can you provide any details that are useful when comparing the two, that is, what to look for?

Thank you all for your input. I like the spirit of the response, but I am not sure I will find that it is worth the effort to 1) contact Ebay by phone and 2) end up getting negative feedback. I think it is best to accept the return, be done with him and move on.

I don't own this book but here is a picture of his sig I downloaded one day. His signature is very distinctive (look at the capital J and K) and I would think that it is difficult to forge.

Pretty easy to do. In Ebay, go to the bottom of the summary page to "Help and contact". Type in Block. You will see: You can block a buyer using the button below.

That looks like his signature to me. Does anyone have a known Roz Kirby signature to show us? Did Rich mention what differences to look for?

The buyer was cagedcomics in New Jersey

I listed a nice ASM 301 CGC 9.6 on Ebay last week and it was purchased for the $149 BIN price and shipped out. Yesterday I received an Ebay Return Request saying the book "is not as described" - "old case". Was really surprised by this, since my ad has a large picture of the item and nowhere do I say that it is the latest generation CGC slab. I have not had a return request in many years. Looks like I have no choice in the matter since Ebay always sides with the buyer now. I drafted the following response to the buyer: "I am surprised at the return request. Is there any actual problem with the book? My ad has a full size picture of the actual item showing that it is the older style slab. I think it is a very well graded 9.6. The new CGC slabs actually are more likely to have the Newton Rings/Rainbow effect. Let me know if you still want to do the return and I will move forward with it." Before I email it out, any thoughts or input, fellow boardies and Ebay sellers?

And double the value too, I 'm sure.

That is sad what was done to the spine. Look at how nice the right edge is, like zero Marvel chipping!.

Right. Seems to be coming back up. But prices are really varying. Per GPA, a 5.0 sold for 33K in Feb 44K in June 32K in July 36k in August 28K in Sept 41K in Oct

So much suspense!

love the cover colors! I don't see why people would be happy with sun faded books like below https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Spider-Man-Annual-1-CGC-6-5-OW-W-1st-app-of-the-Sinister-Six/372819792444?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3D7a261b7fb5824fe49fc9ab3717126821%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D333290201234%26itm%3D372819792444%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042&LH_BIN=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-SPIDER-MAN-1-ANNUAL-CGC-4-0-OW-W-1ST-APP-SINISTER-SIX-MOVIE-HOT/274067878926?hash=item3fcfb7f40e%3Ag%3AhosAAOSwzaJdcF1G&LH_BIN=1

4.5 to me because of no missing pieces

so close to an 8.0! just that BRC bend

sorry to see the apparent trimming. I have been on the boards awhile but not sure I understand what you mean by "The deckling on the paper is only on the top half of the book, all pages before the centerfold"

Very cool. Was that under a glass display case? I was there a few years ago and don't remember that.

Take per pm

Right, I bought a $500 book and had to pay California tax on it! Don't like that 9.25% hit. Adds to cost and reduces profits. Guess I will start looking at other markets like Instagram.

Nice books!

love that cover! White pages too.

Sounds like a real con man to me. Ask for references, get contact information. At least Paypal has a refund policy that may protect you. Let us know what you find out.
