I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. 29.36K	29.36K drchaos private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 1

If you only get 2-3 returns per year perhaps I am just paranoid about the idea of offering returns would lead to a huge increase. To get the discount, you also have to do 1 day shipping, which is a challenge sometimes. But if you can meet the program's requirements, you might try it to see how/if your return rate is affected. If it seems to be a problem, a surge of returns, you can always switch back. But at least you will know instead of speculating. I usually ship next day but during con season I am away too long to keep up with one day shipping.

No valid reason, apparently the only indocation is a notation of such in the indica on page 1.

I didn't check but this could be confirmed by pulling up listings for raw copies, and contrasting the numbers in the UPC box.

But I'd bet the buyer either found another 9.8 cheaper, needs the cash more than the book/changed his mind etc.

Based on this info per mycomicshop, I'd say that eBay will refund/credit the $21 charge to @drchaos ,as the book has been *certified by a reputable 3rd party grading firm as a 1st print*.

I'd tell the eBay rep the label would indicate 2nd printing or reprint, as the given norm is not to list "1st print" on a slab considering listing the month and year f publication makes that a moot point in most instances.
