    Prize #19: a copy of my latest book, an authorized biography of British actor Ralph Bates, for a prize. I'll personalize and sign it and ship it worldwide on my dime - donated by Cushing Fan

    Will onsite grading still be completed by end of show if the books are submitted Saturday morning? Trying to decide if the drive is worth it but would reconsider if my issues won't be finished in time.

    Here is what I keep talking about. More and more common. A 10k book is no joke to anyone.

    RIght, what I'm asking is he willing to take the extra 5 seconds to open the front cover and sign on the splash page rather than just on the front cover.

    Question to any board members with experience getting Byrne signatures in the past. Have you ever requested splash page signatures and if so, what is the general reaction? I'm more partial to them and would likely want to request this.

    POOF

    Do you have one for sale?

    Thank you! This makes sense. Now I know how to avoid quality issues...only submit 9.9+. Newton rings, hairs, random pieces of plastic...a thing of the past.
  13. Naphtha
    This.

    I'm struggling to understand your resentment towards the issue. There are plenty of threads, and digging only stands to benefit everyone in the hobby.

    Yes, we wrote it here a few times in this thread and previous ones as well. I actually requested to volunteer and help through their registered site about 12 months ago. Number was a dead end and any "link" tried wasn't actually linked to any forward site.
  16. Naphtha
    Yes, this was me. @kav and I discussed some of these sales with GPA. I have multiple snips of ebay sales.

    Out of curiosity, do books that grade at 9.9 or 10 get encapsulated the same as any other grade? If the tiniest dent ruins >90% of the books value I would think the holder would need to be perfectly fitted.

    This upsets me because I just threw my money at them for the artifact without even considering the fine print. This is rude. Whatever, I'll take it...
  19. Naphtha
    This is crazy!! Are they actually shipping books separately because of a paper slip that is printed in exactly the same way as standard labels?

    They likely believe the commotion and apathy of the community will eventually just grow bored and we'll all go back to talking about how sad everyone is that Spiderman's leaving the mcu. What they've truly underestimated is...

    I'm going to make an assumption that once registered within ebay, they likely didn't need to worry about resubmitting status. I doubt there are a lot of ebay sellers donating to charities (especially 100% of sales). If there are, I could probably count on one finger the number that were selling the likes of 100K per month.

    Ive always found that they give coupons when youre buying. Purchase a one off or a shirt and generate saved listings. Once they know you're hunting they start throwing them out.
  23. Naphtha
    Everyone needs to calm down. Both parties only lose in this situation. They're just generating hype while they work out a deal. Spiderman isnt going anywhere.
  24. Naphtha
    Dang, maybe a reason to go back to scottsdale. I miss seeing those guys at shows.
  25. Naphtha
    This is what I was explaining in the Mandela thread. Now imagine someone comes to you, hands you a book and says, "I want it sold at this price." You find a couple more in a the same grade and you play it slow....or do it 4 times in a few weeks.
