The problem is: all the 1%er trophies are M.I.A. Where's Action #1 cover? Where's Detective #28 cover? Where's FF #1 cover? Where's AF #15 or ASM #1 covers? Even TOS #39, we've seen the guts but where's the cover? Instead we debate what's a comic, what's comic art (it's not Frazetta oils...L O L!) and try to pretend this whole thing is legit. No. It's a phenomenal crown where all the diamonds and emeralds are missing, somebody got 'em when no one was looking and all that's left is some lesser (Chic) Stones. Sad. But true. At least nobody wanted those Sal Bees..plenty of those to go around , they appear to line the cage the (once glorious) crown sits in. The Detective #28 cover is out there but I assume that you meant the Detective #27 cover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that they will "handel" your art shipping as well as "analize" your need and pricing. I'm going to leave my anus out of this and use someone else I think... Freudian slip, baby !!

Ditto- all winning bidders got screwed. This auction smacks of one big low rent one and done money grab. just wait for the horror stories to come about not receiving your item while PIH fades off into the shadows.

I remember they handled the DocDave Frazetta auction years back, and they must've done it at least semi-right (hopefully... to still exist?). Sorry, I meant handel.

But Gene, they both finalize AND finish. Can't tell you how long I've looked for one place to do both.

delekkerste Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) I arranged today for my lot to be shipped by the Postal Annex. Was about $88 for FedEx Ground w/signature (insurance is covered by my own policy). They were very easy to deal with and super quick with e-mail responses.
