  1. I have about the same amount of graded books as well. ... When it comes to Silver Age, that ASM 31-33 “If this be my Destiny” storyline is fire! I purchased the books graded and didn’t read the actual graded comic, but needed to revisit that read again. I got a copy of an Omnibus ASM and got my fix there. I also find that low grade reader copies fill the void cause there’s nothing like opening up the real deal. Same with my Walking Dead #1, I got a beautiful raw copy and pressed and graded for a 9.8. Didn’t wanna even touch it with my bare hands and I just got the TPB and read the series in that format. So it’s VERY rare that I read the exact actual graded book, instead I find a substitute in a reprint, omnibus, or TPB edition. .... Oh, and I’ve never cracked a CGC case unless it was to get a verified signature. ..... but that just my humble opinion.
  2. ... what an AMAZING copy! This is the only one I was missing to complete my run of Conan from 1-25. Thanks for providing this awesome book for purchase. A low print run indeed.
  3. I’ll send you a DM as I don’t want to publicly put “anyone on blast”. There are 2 sides to every story and I shared my view of the situation. They have theirs. UPDATE - as of 4/11/2021 - the situation has been resolved
  4. Nope .... UPDATE !!! as of 4/11/2021 the transaction has been squared away
  5. On positive note, here in Hawaii we have a “grab bag” type of event at our local comic book store “Choice Comics” and just a few days ago someone pulled a Ultimate Fallout 9.8 😁. ... that’s the best kind of event! Live and in person and legit.
  6. LOSS - I purchased a high end mystery box from an Instagram comic enthusiast for $500 and never ever received the box. long story short! These raffles or lotto online are crappy! If the online dealer isn’t fully vetted or If you’re not dealing with someone at an actual con or store, then I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Just my personal opinion. *** UPDATE *** - - as of 4/11/2021 the transaction has been made right WIN - a little while ago I purchased a “Hit Parade” mystery box and pulled a signed George Perez Teen Titans #2 9.8
  7. Superman Special #1 (Curve on bottom right corner due to improper storage - slight rust migration on staples) — FN — $0.50 x 3
