| Heavy books won't help, you'll need pressing to fix that. | ||

| Iv had pretty good luck with getting things in the mail my usps guy is great never bent anything and if it looks of high value he brings it around back up the steps to place it in the door. Every time I get an envelope I'm nervous but luckily it's normally a Gemini inside. @Thanatos sorry to see the books hope the damage isn't to bad the heavy books wont help I don't believe either. | ||

Moment of truth. My mailman sucks but Marc Ellerby (cover artist and seller) packages comics quite terribly. The envelope has a very thin piece of cardboard in it and the book is bagged and boarded, could be worse I suppose . Comic doesn't have any color breaking creases or spine ticks and the corners are sharp! Just the crappy bend in it  If this comic had come undamaged, worth every penny of the $20 I paid.    |

Put it in a mylite2 with a new board, looks perfect. The back has no defects either, I'm definitely relieved.  |

| Glad to see no serious damage. Lucky for the mailman. Guess he only gets a stern talking to instead of the @$$ whooping he probably deserves. | ||

I did it. Officially a "real" CBCS member lol. Picked up the Bronze this morning, will use the 2x 2-Day Modern coupons on RAM #1s and Fast Pass coupons on ASM 300, GL 87 and RAM #1 BAM  Now I need to decide if I want them pressed. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim She never really paid attention to my comic collection before so for all she knows I've had these comics forever. I was rebagging all my books in Mylites and slipped the new ones in there easy peasy! I feel like I'm having a comic book affair, it's quite exciting hahaha will today be the day I get caught? Find out on the next episode of "Comic Book Love Affair!" Now that I'm back I probably won't be buying too many more books besides my small subscription at the LCS. I'll focus more on submitting the books I do have and deciding which to keep in my PC and which to put on the market to help buy more Green Lantern/RAM books. |

@Thanatos pro tip: Unless you want to end up waiting 4 weeks to get your 2-days back make sure you do separate invoices.  |
