You were clear, I was just teasing you is all.  Several points:

1) did you look at the link I posted in my original comment as that is the section of the boards for "want to buy" posts.  You can also check the "for sale" section of the boards to see if anyone out there has currently listed the book you're searching for.

2) Probably best to not advertise as "can you spare" or "i am poor".  While the board has certainly shown itself to be charitable at times, i'm not sure how much of that charity extends to four figure books.  You can find books discounted compared to some auction sites as there are no overhead fees to worry about, but I wouldn't expect many board members to heavily discount a book simply because of your financial background.  Why sell discounted to you, when they can get a full mark-up somewhere else.  Speaking of financial background, the board can be cautious with new members or people with a track record of an inability to pay.  Painting yourself as someone in financial distress isn't going to instill confidence in a seller that you will be able to pay in full or on time.  There's an entire section of the boards (Probation List and Hall of Shame) devoted to people who screwed up a transaction for a variety of reasons.

Thank You.

Thought it was clear in my description. Its always enjoyable to have fun.. I thank you all for your help .. I’m sure I’ll have much better luck searching others venues..  regards

Ok. Everybody be patient with me....this is where my obsessive compulsive kicks in!! I have this graded at 9.8 in 2017 but i see a (small tick as i call it on top left) corner of comic. So again begs the question??..in everyone's opinion is this a normal flaw for a 9.8 grading? as in other comics that are the same and are 9.8's don't have it...I'm I crazy or is this normal? 

Thanks Guys!

P.S I did buy the comic on eBay the slab doesn't open from side or cracked ..Its the concave or sunk in solid slab. Also the Mylar inside looks melted or something. Maybe its just me

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The 9.8 is an older generation label/slab, the 9.0 is a post-April 2016 label/slab.

I thought it might be something like that.Just wanted to be sure..Cheers!

Hello..I'm not sure if this is an issue or not or if it's been previously addressed. I recently purchased a slab on eBay and i noticed the grading numbers are faded. Everything else checks out. The slab isn't cracked or tampered with. I included pics of 2 slabs for comparison any insight would be appreciated..Thanks!
