Sign me up for Team Captain America.

The original 4 mil mylar bags are expensive and you still need a back board. I use 2 mil mylar , as it is much cheaper.

You might try Gary Dolgoff. He's in Western Mass, or was when we last spoke. My gut feeling is you are going to struggle to get a decent price. Shipping those books will add too much to the cost for most dealers,I suspect. Your best bet might be if you are willing to deliver the books or meet halfway.

Thank you.

Where are you located, and are the books bagged, boarded, and in some sort of order?

As far as I know, CGC doesn't have a stance on digital codes. A book with them is treated the same as a book without them. I don't think they would be worth grading.

Could the movie be any worse than the trailer?

Why? Are you afraid he will scam them? Your posts in this thread are in poor taste.

I sent Bob $100 and asked him to send me some Avengers issues. The box I got included Avengers 51-63, with the keys missing. Also in the box was a GA book worth more than the $100 I'd sent. Perhaps it was your lost book. I forget what it was, but Bob told me to just keep it. I meant to send him some money for it, but I never did.

collectinsure charged me a 15% surcharge on my policy because some was in a storage unit. I don't think they distinguish between comics and art, but am not much of an art collector.

It looks like the black should be first, the red on top of it . His book seems to have extra black added on top of the white writing, where it doesn't belong.

The first hit should be free. Hook me up!

Kirby was gone from Timely by December of 1941, wasn't he?

I have that Wave Warriors as a VG, so I might have hit the wrong key. It was just a bunch of modern drek that I paid four cents each for, but it was eye-opening and most likely will be the last time I send in any books under that phase of their business. I have a few lots coming up in auctions. Hopefully I get closer to the prices I was expecting. I absolutely believe the books they buy as VG are sold as VG, and every other grade. That is not an issue. I appreciate that someone from MCS reached out and asked me if I wanted the books back. I can't say enough about their customer service.

MCS has the Archie 3000, which you value at $37 for $4 in VF. While they don't have that issue in a CPV, they have other CPVs from that run going for less than $5.

Marvel. Rocket Racoon vs. Rocky the Flying Squirrel?

Conan says if they buy a book as a F, it gets sold as a F. I've no reason not to believe him.

That works for consignments, but these were books I sold them. Books they were buying at $1 for VFs and instead became F- and bought for sixteen cents. I submitted some lots, which were also knocked quite hard but in an auction, people understand and bid accordingly. One door closes, and another opens.

MCS has announced an auction devoted to the distinguished competition to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It will be interesting to see how that goes.

I recently sent in a bunch of moderns that I'd picked up for almost nothing, and they were buying. I reviewed the books with a magnifying glass and only sent books I was confident would be VF or better. Nearly all of them were called Fines or worse. Absurd. I'll give away my books before I send them any more raw books, and I've sold over $100K on their site as one of the earlier consigners. I was tempted to have them returned, but the round-trip shipping would have been more than they offered me.

Buying the newest shiny object is an interesting stock-buying strategy.

You are catching on quickly. I'm impressed.

In 1987, an extensive pulp collection walked into my shop. I knew nothing about their value but agreed to try to sell them for the owner. I contacted another store owner, who suggested two dealers. When I called the first, he told me the condition wasn't much of a factor with pulps—scarcity and content were all. The other dealer asked me a couple of questions and told me he typically pays $1-$2 per book regardless of condition. I returned the pulps to the owner with the numbers of the two dealers. It sounds like things have changed.

The headline is much worse than the reality. It is a year-long program that meets once a week for two hours. The initial reports make it sound like he was sentenced to 52 weeks in jail. An accurate headline could read he was sentenced to 100 hours of classroom instructions.
