talesof... Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I am relieved to see this thread. I will be making my first purchase with mycomicshop.com and I got nervous. I got nervous because I went to pay and the website says you can't purchase anything that exceeds $500.00 with a credit card. you have to use other forms of payment. All kinds of red flags came up when I spoke with Este and she said I would need to use a money order or cashier's check. The auction I won was $610.00. I was not sure if the place was legit or not. After seeing this forum and they actually have a presence I am relieved. I just hope my order doesn't get lost or I get the wrong item. I will report somewhere here how my experience goes if this is the proper place to do so. I will say after discovering they are legit I have to give a complement to Este. She has answered all my questions and gave me a payment deadline extension after I was surprised I could not use my credit card for anything over 500. And my first purchase from them is a CGC graded 5.5 copy of Tales of suspense #40 My first slab book!! im excited ! I hope I don't get addicted to slabs. lol.

dfx1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Here is the inner packaging for reference. This will have 4 dense black foam corner pcs and packaged inside an RSC corrugated box padded with kraft paper. Im tempted to say the corrugated RSC is only single wall B or C flute if I remember correct. (Not double wall) If my memory is working I think the size of the RSC is around 10"x17"x5" and sealed with strong reinforced gummed kraft paper tape. I believe the size they use is cheaper to ship than Medium size USPS priority mailer but its stronger by a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycomicshop is pretty reliable and if there's a problem they usually address it quickly. Let us know how it goes. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycomicshop is pretty reliable and if there's a problem they usually address it quickly. Let us know how it goes. I intend to. and thanks. it just surprised me when I tried to use my credit card and I couldn't because there is a 500 dollar limit. my purchase was 110 dollars over the limit. I never heard of a place in the 2000's not taking credit cards for payment. But Este has answered all my questions and she gave me an extension to pay. I just got nervous when I was told I had to pay by check or money order because that give NO buyer protection. I had never heard about them before so when I did a search I was glad I found this post as stated. If anything, I will post for first time buyers of the shop so they kind of know a little bit more of what to expect and aren't surprised like I was. If all else fails Texas is only a hop, skip, and jump away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Hulk Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I've bought mycomicshop before and their packaging for CGC slabs is the best I've ever come across. They double box, use filling paper, and the Lshape foam corners. Now as for their raws I've never purchased b/c they give pretty ambiguous grading, for example it goes from NM to VF, however others have posted some of their NMs are 9.8 candidates so perhaps there is a good possibility that the NM described raws are good to buy.
