  1. Saw this on the bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Maxx-3-Yellow-ashcan-/181261130713?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item2a34015bd9#ht_450wt_1362 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Maxx-3-Yellow-Ashcan-signed-and-numbered-by-Sam-Kieth-/181261217152?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item2a3402ad80#ht_482wt_1362 Both by the same seller.
  2. UPDATE: Both Modern (non-fast track) 07/30/2013 - Received 07/29/2013 - Received Still in Received. Getting a little ridiculous. Come on CGC we should not have to pay $10 extra per book to get something graded. 36/37 Business days and counting
  3. Both Modern (non-fast track) 07/30/2013 - Received 07/29/2013 - Received Just getting them verified would make me happy 17/18 Business days and counting
  4. If your dates are right than a Tomb of Dracula #1 with a July 3, 1972 stamp would be high on my priority list.
  5. I am going to share a story of being horribly uninformed. I fell victim to Danny while on Deployment to Italy with some extra cash laying around, thought at the time "There is no way I can lose on any of these three books". JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #123 NM+ 9.6 (170777812266) Member id robojo33 | Feedback Score Of 3813 | 100.0% Sale date: 02/12/12 $401.00 + $7.70 shipping STRANGE TALES #114 NM 9.4 *CAPTAIN AMERICA* (180834148802) Member id robojo33 | Feedback Score Of 3813 | 100.0% Sale date: 03/11/12 $601.00 + $7.70 shipping BATMAN ANNUAL #3 NM 9.4 (180834677628) Member id robojo33 | Feedback Score Of 3813 | 100.0% Sale date: 03/11/12 $371.88 + $7.70 shipping After returning from deployment and getting to see the books in person (my wife took care of them while I was gone), I sent them off to CGC with the expectations of even if they graded a bit lower (was suspicious of the grading) I can at least break even or accept a small loss. Results: Journey into Mystery #123 CGC 9.0 C/OW - Sold via E-Bay Strange Tales #114 CGC 8.0 (Restored) C/OW Batman Annual #3 CGC 8.5 OW/W - Sold via E-Bay I know the two sold via E-Bay the buyers got a very good price and they knew what they were buying (Thank you CGC). Now onto why I post this. After looking through the feedback and seeing the comics up for auction, this has the same "feel" as to what I went though before. Feedback with books graded by CGC in the 7.0 to 9.0 range, toys and lower grade raw books. Then out of the blue books listed in the 9.4 to 9.6 range selling for huge amounts. Now, if she is legit, I apologize for accusing her, but alarm bells are ringing...so, personally I will not be buying anything, but to all the others please be aware that this could be another Danny ID. Oh and by the way, I got onto the boards shortly after and discovered who Danny was and what he was doing (sick feelings still linger in the pit of my stomach). I truly appreciate what everyone has taught me in a very short time period. Even though I have been collecting for 22 years and using E-Bay as a tool since 1999, there was no way of knowing… “Who Won't Get Fooled Again” – The Who
  6. Here is the other one from the census: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281068113936?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_234wt_1170
