Just opened everything. Slabs were all (thumbsu  Turns out everything was way overpacked inside. The outside box also was oversized. Carrier was UPS (Ground) 

Thanks for asking. 

Over the years I had this happen to me multiple times with UPS, both shipped out and received from them

Will never use them again

Unrelated to the Hulk-Smash special delivery, I have finally reunited the pair below after many years of waiting. Now if I could just go back in time and buy back my matching ASM 300 CGC 9.8 SS TM for under $700 again (thumbsu

I find quite often, especially for registry runs, I'll grab the photo off the listing immediately after the win, and it's really more of a mechanical process. When the slab arrives in the mail, take a gander, but ultimately it just winds up in a box store away. I think it is important to sometimes take an actual moment in time and enjoy what you have. Cheers.

Stuck in the same boat, I have both of these, just to darn expensive for ASM $300 right now.

That $700 SS would be an awesome find again.

Nothing. USPS may have lost a package that was in their possession on the 9th. 🤬 

I’m very disappointed, a big issue needed for my Punisher (1987) collection..the only issue on the census in CGC 9.8 :sorry:

Still hoping, have 3 more days for it to show up, before they pay the seller insurance for the package  :wishluck:

Wow that looks like a fun one to try to find in 9.8

I actually do fairly well when searching for black covers. Red covers are my nemesis 😔

That happened to me last month. The package took 5 weeks go get to me but it did eventually show up.
