Shipping: Cost of shipping to be paid by buyer. 

Payment: Checks, M.O.s & well concealed Cash are accepted. 
No Poohpal, Venmo, beads, pelts or jewelry.
 
Grading: I have been in the hobby for almost 50 years..., yes, I am old. I try to be conservative in grading, and have cracked about 400++ slabs, so am in tune mostly with CGCs random grading practices. 

Return Policy: Yep!  However, please don't try to return something because you failed to read the detailed description.

Doing it:  You can do it in the thread, you can do it via PM, you can do it in the road.  In the case of ties, it goes to the PM.   

Trades: I am mostly looking for silver and a little bit of bronze.

Kudos Thread?  I don't have one because they are stupid, worthless and weak.  Credible and semi-credible references available upon request.

There are no slabs here, but there are plenty of cracked out CGC books.
All books will come with CGC labels, certificates, etc. if I have them.
 

Also, my scanner seems to add dirt, foxing, etc. to the back covers. Best inquire to make sure if it is real, however, if there is real foxing, I do note that in the remarks.
