  1. Very impressive! After New Fun, this might be toughest run to complete. Doubly impressive if rest of books are in grades close to those so far!!
  2. Unfortunately, USPS is not much better. Sent a book worth north of $15k and paid extra for Registered Mail. Buyer even told carrier he would be receiving a Registered Mail package - to which carrier replied "Never heard of that, what is it?". When package was delivered, carrier signed for it and dropped it on porch without even ringing doorbell - buyer's MIL was in house at the time. Buyer noticed USPS updated tracking to delivered, so call home and she was able to retrieve package! This seems to be standard practice now. In the old days, they'd leave an unable to deliver slip. Delivery companies don't seem to care that people are paying extra money for services they're not even providing. Companies rarely actually delete info you request to be removed, they just stop displaying it to you.
  3. Beautiful copy with bright color with minor conservation! One of my favorite all-time book/cover!
  4. That was quick - numbers now appear in census! Late for this auction, but this capability is really handy when interested in a book.
  5. Buy when competition low! I wince when thinking of the books I passed on because I had a copy or wasn't on my want list! Slow to learn I could turn books I didn't want into those I did! Agree, not everyone has unlimited funds, plus interests change. If it wasn't for dealers, I wouldn't have much of a collection.
  6. None of the Centaurs showed up on census, but that didn't appear to hurt bidding - $5,218 w/BP! Uncommon book with a tough black cover.
  7. Ouch! Price has been stable, but treading down: 9/25/13: $6,601, 6/8/22: $6,300, 2/17/24: $6,222 w/BP ($5,100 bid). Plus, seller also had book re-slabbed. Bit of a head scratcher - though CC, CGC & Goldin made money. Otherwise, some strong prices, except for Circus #1 - love book, but apparently I'm the only one (generic cover doesn't help)!
  8. Does seem optimistic for flip a non-key/hot book in such a short time, esp. with a less known auction house. Then again, this auction does have a blue Superman #1 and a few really tough Centaurs.
  9. Oddly, after being challenged twice within 5-10 mins in two different browsers, not seen it since...
  10. Apparently, CGC's firewall recently detected increased activity from the Delta Quadrant...
  11. Ok, it's not just me. Maybe I'm wrong, but they seem to have bigger problems than robots visiting the chat boards. Due to storm and high winds lost power for a couple days - and apparently my memory, as I forgot to enter grades before cutoff! Probably saved me from a last place finish!
  12. Anyone else getting the confirm you are human to get onto the boards? After recent issues, seems CGC might have better places to focus security funds!
