SteveMullins

It will be on the way, it's at my lcs...he makes big monthly trips t9 CgC, so it'll be awhile.

My question still remains tho, how a torn piece impacts the grade...even once I have the book, unless graders notes describe the impact, I won't know anything for sure.

This book could be 8.5 to 9.0 candidate, aside from the torn piece.  

I have pics, but don't seem to be able to upload them

I have a SS4 that has an incredible front and back cover, square corners, great gloss, just beautiful...but the last all ads page is missing the top corner...about a 1 inch triangular missing piece.

What's the top grade this book could get with the missing chunk?  I can't seem to find a definitive answer in the standards.  Most info seems to focus on the cover, page whiteness, and centerfold. 

Book is on the way to cgc, or I'd include a couple of pics.

Whoa dude, zero worries, it's alright to chill on this.  He's very busy, often at conventions etc.  One time I paid and got zero confirmation.  Didn't bother following up, and received the art within a week (he uses a quick shipping method a la priority).

Longtime dealers like him, reputation is more than worth its weight in gold. 

Thanks everyone for the replies...I'm very happy with the art.  I look forward to making this a focus of my future collecting.

Thinking about selling this, not sure where it falls, single staple, cover is completely detached from this only staple.

Thanks!

Ouch! 

That tape pull likely puts you in the VG range. 3.5 seems about right...

Yep, being lazy and impatient can be painful...now it's in a tape free bag!

Thinking about selling this, not sure where it falls with that tape pull?

Good news all, Mike replied yesterday, Indicating the art was going out, along with tracking info!  Thanks everyone for your comments!

Nothing would make me happier than to go home, and see the piece!  I have no doubt it will arrive, but communication would be nice!  I bought a motorcycle last year from Virginia...took 3 months to make it to me in Florida...but at least they kept replying to me...it's coming, it's coming!

How much time has elapsed between your order and now?  His standard delivery method etc may be on his website.  Did you check there?

I paid on 8/6, and when I didn't get anything for a few days, emailed him to let him know I paid...that was on 8/9.  He replied that he received the payment, but nothing more.  A few days later, I requested any updates...nothing.  Few days later same...nothing.  Sent something earlier today too, hoping for some info.  Only concerning thing, he was quick to reply before I purchased...even proactive in communication in some cases.  After purchase, things went dark on me.  My purchase was likely small potatoes to him, $1300...but was hoping to just get something quick...let me know I'm not forgotten.

I've had good experiences with him too.  But if he's busy at conventions, his responses maybe slow.

If there's a concern, you can always call him (the number is listed on Romitaman.com).  But he's usually pretty good about shipping items out quickly.

Man, I hate talking on the phone these days!  But I get it...looks like it might be time to make a call.  Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Your concerns will not be a problem with Romitaman, something normal and explainable, likely real life stuff, is going on nothing more. You'll surely hear back shortly.

I'm confident I'll hear back soon...just concerning, he was very responsive initially, but after payment...nothing.

I've bought several $100K+ pieces from him with no problems.

Wow that's nice, bet you have some awesome pieces...maybe my purchase was too small potatoes to warrant him responding?

I've never purchased from Romitaman.  Long time OA dealer.  Unlikely he's gonna scam you although there was a recent thread about him shilling his auctions.

I wasn't too concerned about getting scammed, since I paid with a Credit Card...but he was a bit encouraging of me sending him a check to avoid fees, which I get...but something I would never do on a first transaction.  Add that to him going no contact, and I was getting a bit nervous.  It never helps when you're dying to receive the product...in any case, many thanks for responding!

Hi guys,

I bought a piece of Gil Kane art from the Romitaman site, and had consistent communication with the seller, right up until I paid.  Now I have asked for delivery details on several occasions, and get nothing back.

Anyone have similar experiences...looks like a trustworthy site, but this sort of behavior concerns me.

Moved to Ebay!

Bump!

I'm leaving this up until Sunday evening...drop me an offer before eBay!  

Selling my low grade BB28 raw.  $1000, shipping included.  Probably the cheapest complete copy out there, but I'm open to offers.  No trades...I have a piece of original art in mind that I want, and this will be my justification for spending the money!

I estimate this is a 1.0 - 1.5

Cover still has quite a bit of gloss.  Book doesn't appear to attached at staples, but is still hanging on to the book.

Will only accept PayPal as payment.  I will ship USPS priority w/ signature required, fully insured.

No offers from probation list or in the HoS.

1st has priority over PM's.

Anything you're selling over $1k I would consign with MyComicshop, ComicLInk, etc. Not worth the potential headache to deal with the sale on your own.

Have you ever consigned with either of them?  I agree on the headache part...if they do it, might be the way to go.  I didn't know they did consignments.
