Popular Post Xenosmilus Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I managed to win this tonight but got in a bidding war over it. Ugh, it wasn't pretty. Only 3 9.8's and the last sale was in 2011. It doesn't come up for sale too often.

Did you have an option to select USPS priority? When preparing a CGC order packing slip and selecting shipping the FEDEX and UPS rates were in some cases 3-5 times as much as USPS priority rates but you obviously get to select which shipping method you want.

Fedex was the only standard ground option available to choose. Other options were all expedited. I could choose 3 day expedited for $182. I checked the fedex website. Ground residential shipping from NY to Chicago with signature is only 3 dsys anyway. And $17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to choose USPS Priority during checkout. Cost me $15 to go to Jersey. All the other costs were absurd. oh and my one win. Been looking for this book for over a year...

Number 6 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I seem to be noticing a number of mistakes in the upcoming June Clink auction. Two Marvel Star Trek #1s listed as Gold Key #1s. A Power Man #24 with a picture of a Wolverine Nabisco variant. Anybody else spotting this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
