AAARRGGGHHHH!!!! Damaged Comic in mail

[BrianR]

I consigned my WWT 12 9.8 white. and it didn't sell so I figured I would get it back and try to trade it off. There are only 3 in census and this was the only white pager. I got it back today in a priorty mail box Smashed to hell and back even the inner well is damaged. I don't think it will be a 9.8 anymore due to this. There was literally a hole punched into the side of the box into the side of the slab. I will post pictures after I get my daughter from school. A $1000+ book f'd up. I asked for the book to be insured when returned to me and checking I see no insurance on the box.

 

I have never been this upset over a book before!!!!

[Mr 9.8]

Sorry dude. That sucks on so many levels.

If a self-printed mailing label was used, the notation for insurance is small and can easily be missed. There's no separate label.

 

Which cosignor did you have it at? Hopefully you can get it resolved.

Sounds like the place you consigned it with owes you some money. But my guess is their commercial policy covers it rather than it being shown on the box.

I hope so the label isn't preprinted and shows no indication of insurance.

Here are the pictures.

 

The outer box you can clearly see a hole punched into it.

 

The second box is heavily dented in that spot.

 

Even with additional bubble wrap here is the result.

[Crows]

The only reported sale was back in 2007 for 986.00. With the movie, the fact that this was the only white pager I was hoping for a few hundred more than the last one sold for.

you should file a claim, unacceptable.

[BrianR]

I called the consigner and left a message. I am sure it will be resolved, but I have never recieved a slab like this and had a comic this valuable damaged.. The inner well is even bent.

Sorry to see that. I hope everything works out in the end.

Sorry to hear this Brian.

Sadly I spend almost $30.00 sending it in between insurance, being registered mail mail and all. I was so worried about anything happening to an expensive book I even used the CGC box for just that one book it came to me in just a couple months ago.

dude that sux

I had this book for a couple of years to use as an investment. I finally had it slabbed before Christmas so I could sell it.

Some dealers have a rider on their insurance for shipping purposes. I know Collectibles Insurance will insure up to $50or $60K during shipping.

 

I wouldn't panic until you hear back from the consignor.
