Mac Man Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Really gorgeous book! Off topic a bit... is there any value to a low grade double cover book? I happen to have an old SA DC Lois Lane double cover where the outer cover is no better than a 2.5-3.0 and the interior is probably a 5.5-6.0. I'm pretty unfamiliar with them, so I was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashrael Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sweet! My copy won't hit 9.4, but it is still pretty nice You also have a double cover of this? I was surprised to learn that no copies of this book higher than a 9.4 had been submitted. Yep, I bought it off zilla4 as a FN, but of course it is much higher (9.0 or so).

bghkoyama Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Who picked this up? So a box from the seller arrived today. I open it eagerly as an X-Men 94 Double Cover is an absolute grail of mine. Inside the package is a small (1/3rd the size of a bread loaf) shiny white mailbox with some type of pink baby hat packed inside. The mailbox is addressed to someone else with a postage stamp dated the day before my package was shipped. There is no X-Men 94 Double Cover Comic Book. I inspected the box and it is stamped that it arrived unsealed at the post office in Fort Worth. :censored: The seller is a 100% feedback seller. The item was paid for with a credit card on paypal on ebay. The package was insured. Any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated. I am currently where livid, shocked, and depressed meet. Is it possible that the book fell out of the box and some postal worker replaced it with a package addressed to someone else? And what happened to the book? It's been over 2 months. Any updates on this issue? Did you get a refund or was the book ever found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canickus Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It was a two month struggle with the post office. First I received a form letter from the Post Office denying my claim because "they delivered the package." The local post office where my claim was taken had checked the "Article did not arrive" box so the post office worker informed me that my claim was invalid because the package did arrive, even though I had provided a clear summary of the events complete with pictures of the box showing it stamped that the box had been opened in transit. I called the supervisor and explained the story to her and she said that I needed to appeal because the wrong box was checked. The correct box should have been the "Container Only Arrived" box. I asked her why she didn't read the summary or all of the other information that I sent and she said that she didn't need to. I tried to explain to her that this didn't make sense because there wasn't a box for the "container arrived with somebody's elses package inside. I won the appeal with the post office and received the reimbursement check. It is a shame about that double cover x-men 94. I bet it is in a landfill or recycling center somewhere.

Chespirito Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe whosever package you got, got yours, and the other guy not caring for some "old comic book" has it on a coffetable somewhere, and a in a year or two, when he gives it away, it'll appear in e-bay, without it being listed as a double cover, someone will buy it and get it slabbed in a con where Len Wein will be at and get it signed, only to come back as an SS comics that is a double cover!! The guy will get the suprise of his life, list it on an auction hoping for a gazillion dollars, only for me to buy it at the starting bid of 9.99 because the guy put no reserve price and nobody bothered to check online during those days....yeah, it will have a happy ending...

Man, am I sorry to hear about this. On the bright side, you did not lose any money. Sad thing, you'll probably never know what really happened to that sweeeeet book.

canickus Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It is kind of frustrating to not know what happened to the book, but comforting to know that Chespirito will end up with it for $9.99. I definately wish I had the book and not the money. Oh well. Fortunately, the package was insured. I rarely buy insurance because until this happened, the post office had never lost anything for me and the insurance seemed like a bad bargain, particularly for cheaper books. I have to commend whatever post office employee in the Fort Worth post office stamped the box with this stamp. Without the stamp, I doubt the Post Office would have paid the claim.

Chespirito Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 What I don't understand is what does the post office have to do with the wrong thing being in your box, wouldn't it have been a mistake by the seller?!? I would have been all over the guy..specially this book..I refuse to think this book is gone..it's too sweet of a book..I am in denial.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canickus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The explanation from the post office is that sometimes packages get stuck in their automatic equipment and in my case the smaller package was pushed into my box which pushed the contents of my package out. Since the contents were a thin comic book wrapped between two pieces of corrugated, I am sure the post office threw them away thinking that it was just some kind of packaging material. The seller was a stand-up guy. Between us, we visited and called every post office on the route to try and find the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
