You could overnight the books to CGC to minimize the time you are in suspense about them arriving safely. If you want to be very cautious, you can send them registered. But that can take a while and the tracking can be spotty in my experience, so the suspense factor can be higher. Or you can take them to a con that CGC attends and hand the books to them directly. torontodesignguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drive over from CA! That TAR43 is HOT! The 42 looks real nice, but I'd wager CGC would give it a 7.5 right now. Couple years ago they'd have given it an 8.5.

Sqeggs Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Minor league Baker (five-page story), but I've been picking up some of his Atlas efforts when I come across them. Maybe not too surprising that there are no copies of this one on the census. Tri-Color Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Fixed another bad scan...the blue sky is still a tad too dark on the new scan, but much, much closer to reality than on the original...and I also erased that number 5 in the heart at the top... I just never noticed when I scanned these books 3 years ago that the colors were too light...
