If it is in fact insured, I would be tempted just to say I never got it and let the USPS foot the bill on that one. It's certainly their fault. And...I don't know if that would be eligible for a new holder given the extent of the damage. Does it look like the book might have been damaged also...?

Paid for siganture but they left it? Probably for the very reason they were afraid of the possibility of damage and didn't want to face you.

 

Cause heck man!

 

This..

 

That is ridiculous... I wonder what that guy did to smash the box up like that

I already contacted the seller and stated what happened. Just waiting to hear back. It appears the the upper left post is cracked so I'm going to assume it needs regrading. Doesn't appear the book suffered but it had to take a nice shock to cause this kind of damage

[jjeanius]

My guess...? Something very heavy fell on it. I doubt it was the local delivery person's fault....probably happened at a warehouse, etc.

Was this an eBay purchase?

Was this an eBay purchase?

Yes sir.

[comicsnyc22]

Is there buyer protection after the fact? Is shipping included within that? That sucks, man.

Damn, hate to see the death of a high grade RRP

[jjeanius]

eBay offers buyer protection. At the very least, they would ask him to send the book back to the seller for a refund.

i agree, between eBay and his Credit Card, he shouldnt have an issue getting a refund. But that's not the point here. We as the collecting community have suffered the loss of a high grade RRP Someone can always work and earn more money, but they arent printing anymore RRPs

Do boxes ever get crushed holding CGC books when they arn't the Free USPS boxes?

I seriously doubt the book is ruined. Just looks like case damage to me.

"Doesn't appear the book suffered"

 

famous last words? for his sake i hope not.

[Solar]

Nah. Cracked corners like that rarely cause damage. CGC cases protect the books pretty well, even when they are wrecked in the process. If the book doesn't look damaged, then it isnt.

[ThoseBackPages]

WHEW!

[I like pie]

Honestly the book looks good but I'm not going to gamble. I brought it into the post office and showed them. They said the seller would at least get his shipping back . She did imply, tightly lipped, because it wasn't signed for, the seller may get reimbursed somewhat. Regardless, the seller was very cool about it and asked me to return it to him.
