Ebayer pgcmint- any dealings? 0

[Silver Ager]

Anyone have dealings with 'em? I guess everyone here probably has, but figured I'd ask. Some nice stuff and good feedback record. Saw some older threads.

that's one of Mark Wilson's ebay IDs.  Buy with confidence.  I've probably gotten about 10 slabs out of that user ID.

5 stars for this seller. The thing I like best about Mark is that he will list on eBay less liquid older slabs (i.e. DC Bats)  in a bidding style auction. Most sellers will list these with uber inflated BIN's and sit on the listing for a year. I would give him highest recommendation possible.

Where's the thread on new board quips. The new boards clearly have short memory problems.

I can't remember that either.

From reading these comments, it sounds as though Mark has cleaned up his act from his World's Finest days back in the late 80's and early 90's when he was notorious for wet cleaning virtually all of his books and not disclosing this fact to his customers as he considered wet cleaning to be a non-restoractive activity.  Since he was also a professional restorer at the same time, it seem that he was never ever satisfied with a book even if it was already in HG condition, and as a result, was apparently always tempted to improve on the book.  

Unfortunately, it looks like this type of work fell on the wrong side of the ledger when CGC opened their doors as these books all came back as PLOD's, while books with other types of work such as dry cleaning, pressing, etc. were eventually outed by the boards here as a non-restorative activity a few years later.

It's good to see that he's making the best of this opportunity because all of the other dealers used to assume right away that any book that passed through Mark's hands must have had some undisclosed restoration on them.  Not sure if this was always fair, especially when they could not even find the restoration sometimes.

I can only speak from experience. I've bought a few books from him over the years and been happy. On one occasion I found out that a book had been pressed up to a 9.8. I wasn't happy as I don't like pressing really. I expressed my concerns to Mark and we had lively discussion back and forth.Bottom line he refunded my purchase in full inc. shipping and accepted the return. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

PGCMint only sells slabbed comics, so the concerns over undisclosed restoration haven't been relevant in quite some time.

Well, it looks like he has some nice ungraded books up there and best of all, they are in a true auction format with an actual end date. 

Much better than 99% of the other comic book listings which tend to be in BIN auction formats with really high prices that seems to sit on eBay forever.

Yeah - he puts grades on some and not others.  Kind of irritating - not sure what the angle is...., hope?  These auctions do go for some pretty good dollars.
