I started collecting comics when they were 25 cents. Not long after, they started warning they would "still" be 25 cents and bam we were at 30. That seemed like brief time as well and without a still 30 bam-- we were at 35 cents. Imagine your buying power shriveling up in the space of 3.5 years. It made me mad to be fair and I decided that when they went to 40 cents-- bam-- I am done. It was time anyway as sports and girls became more important. good times while they lasted not that I don't regret not continuing some of my favorites like DD and Thor which cost a pretty penny when diving back in around 2015

I thought he said he was going to be the presser and CT remover himself.... either way --- the guy just make my skin crawl-- seems super devious and a bit of a scumbag. Taking a nice looking book that has a few faults and trying to do all this spoon to it is just dumb imo. I guess it is part of the game--- not that this book will ever be in my hands anyway regardless of what shenanigans he get to doing with it.

I can't find any detractors in his comments-- does he remove ones not praising his ridiculous activities? He's a turd

these activities are disgusting. This clown needs to stop "fixing" things but cutting them off of perfectly fine comics. So what if they have bit of color touch-- who gives a spoon? this dude is in it for the money only and not the collecting experience. Hate him!

can you give an idea of how many total you left (kept 12)? sounds like she wasn't asking much

I find the OP sort of annoying. He claims that he only trusted the word of the seller verbatim as being complete etc. Whatever-- I believe they said this came back as a 3.5 qualified versus getting a .5 incomplete grade. Who the hell is afraid to open a book that is lower than mid-grade for fear of hurting condition? That part makes ZERO sense I examine every book I receive and I buy plenty of them from high to low but mostly mid grade. I don't mess with GA but do SA mostly. Every book I buy or sell gets a page count as standard grading practice. Pretty simple thing to take responsibility for. But no-- just send off a dang book for CGC grading without even looking inside of it? You know you could have a complete book with writing throughout it. Sorry--- the seller did make an error saying it was complete but the buyer did not do their part to examine it upon taking ownership. They could have avoided this whole thing. What is fair at this point might be a refund of the cost of the book but no CGC fees. That's my take and I have no intention of reading anything the OP has to say in his defense. This is the way I handle things-- I could NOT care less about how careless they are in their affairs. This is the buyer's fault overall--- not 10%-- that is BS

my guess is that the OP is the one actually selling this with the grift of acting like they are the ones interested. Wouldn't be anything new to dangle it like this

good luck finding your items -- I would hate losing that much stuff. I find it hard to believe that they could rob that many units and load it into a truck that fast. I suspect the thought of a large unit holding all if it seems likely if the in and out vehicles don't make sense. At least it wasn't just your books taken -- so the cops might actually try harder to find the stuff stolen and not use the old "it's just comic books" attitude we've seen sometimes

what a nutty thing to write.
