This may answer your question https://www.goodgirlcomics.com/okajima/ and this will help Okajima Admired for its unique backstory, the Okajima collection was assembled by a young Japanese-American girl from California who was interned by the U.S. government during World War II. She managed to save her comic books through that period, and continued collecting until the mid'50s. The collection was ultimately sold in 1995, broken into three groups during an estate sale, but because of their unique markings on the front and back covers many copies have been identified since their initial disbursement. The collection is known for having very high page quality and containing a large number of jungle and good-girl comics.

If I'm going to send to CGC a polybagged comic do I remove it or does CGC ? Do I need to put a note or something with it telling them it's ok to remove the bag?

Thought I seen one on he BAY that wasn't signed and was a 9.8 maybe this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/296342865897?itmmeta=01HV4XPV7ED3YMFTC3R4PX8HEK&hash=item44ff6947e9:g:LFwAAOSwKEZmDyq9&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0Ag9WHtSdhIC3NuwBgN82wu3796E567oGLKijnqKp678zZDnnFn1sjmxg5ALqW3UTgrWTOA0txBR2CG2xpl1UzjAlCV3GrCgfgpYZlbzXpzq%2FjNaZCY94YylZdFA171usQb5y0v7pH91qXazmyQwwRf7P1KEmn%2FctUURhgqG%2B5IL67PfPMCLDwnFrVPeO6BAEtUxK8zFOqExUOuo6UebOJ9mhB72hfx1XCprDuskqIC90D12JLvSPaUZXkunX3miizfic07KxqmgKA7JfCK3bnQ%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-az253ZYw

Was wondering how rare this book is ? This was a give away at CONS by HERB TRIMPE but this is one from his personal collection. I looked on the census and don't seem to find any graded.

If I send in a book that was from was from a artists estate will it be noted on the label ? Should I send in a copy of COA from his wife? I don't see any of these on the census Herb gave these away at cons.

And don't send the COA you more than likely won't get it back .

I was not even looking at the date.

This is rule # 9 List acceptable forms of payment (NOTE: PayPal "goods and services" is an acceptable payment method to list, but Personal PayPal, AKA "friends and family," is NOT allowed as a listed payment option as it is not appropriate for item purchases. It is also against the rules to ask for Personal PayPal via private message).

DO NOT SEND THE COA you won't get it back and I would want till later this month. Maybe send a copy of the COA

Yes they are supposed to check the book out when they re slab grade could drop , stay the same You may try asking here

Your getting finger prints on the books even if YOU don't touch them

I can't seem to find this book from 1949 in the census no matter how I search . A little help from some of you on the boards would be great. Also wondering if it's worth grading? Thanks in advance.

@CGC Mike This was his response when I said something to the seller New message from: deanjayes (91) Thank you Frank! I am in communication with the VP of CGC Harshen Patel and have also let eBay know the situation and they are working on removing the listing without charging me any penalty. Thank you, Dean

Another one on the bay

I'm in

so why is this a blue label? Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover.

You might get the finger print message because CGC uses bare hands to grade your books in fact they made a youtube video as to why they don't use gloves

make sure to keep copies of what you send them take plenty of pictures or scans of the page/pages also

and for the low low price of $ 160K

Looks better than a 2.0 to me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276266058018?itmmeta=01HR8BNR7P370AFJFK01R9PSDG&hash=item4052bd8122:g:OB0AAOSwKC5lY3bB&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8MUcb3TlSpcW5XwDN6IzUwLkOLlEgdo0sjXdtCdGYk%2BdCUA3qhSM%2BFRlLdXVlZ6ZzkZfGU4enheBoOynd6l3W7%2FEE5XZK1gPTRl9f371xnd0Nm4vEJ5eD5%2Fsp%2FgRcNIL0v983i4pUh7D4pRs2QzJO8vOLZBL%2FPbpWeeg%2BHuZ5IHncWTuR%2BF2YPFfyV11FBswXKGyRoUDToXy%2FdNjuY5IU6l8MnftWbAzUWOfydb%2BYJg5jZcDoc6f2deYKHl%2BPRGZNuMKCoXc4BcGE2lry4%2BvTiWYyrnV1lX%2B9sP9T1%2BJIsHVlacjulVRaEKndmSlfJjMxQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_yD14vCYw

there is a thread on the boards that talks about putting comics in a safe or fire proof box and I think the out come was don't do it. I will try to find thee thread.
