So hopefully since it shipped without an email saying tough crap it is ok. The 2nd book has me worried though. Like I said i could be worried for no reason. They were just trying to be upfront about what happened.

Edit

I think I'm going to keep my yap shut unless shit hits the fan. I don't want to say something I'll regret if I'm emotional about it and especially if nothing bad comes of it to me.


Actually donโ€™t think there is much which can be done. Believe there is also some facebook discussions about this store. The issue is that the book is now $1k for 9.6 and $2k for 9.8. What will people do if store says if you are not happy with 9.4 we can refund you the amount you originally paid?

Already selling for more at auction than a slabbed 9.6 being offered at fixed price:

If it's about wrap, I would say that the wrap on the 9.6 is better. Thoughts?


The 9.0 is a newsie

Just watched Empire Strikes Back for the first time in a while, and realized someone made a mistake - if they're trying to keep Luke something of a secret from Vader, why does everyone keep running around calling him Luke Skywalker? Is Skywalker like 'Smith' in the Empire? Were the rebels so poor they couldn't afford to make up a fake name?

That's what I'm thinking, the tech 1.0 is the same copy that sold for $495 14 years ago and the caps a fair price, world war 2 Alex cover, don't own a cap timely why I jumped on it.

Did I sell my Preacher #1??
I had a SS copy signed by Ennis I was thinking of sending in to add Fabry to the signature but I can't find it. I can only find my 9.6 Absolute Vertigo SS and a raw copy of Preacher #1 and raw Absolute Vertigo

The SS Preacher no longer shows on any of my excel files.....I think I sold it!?...just don't remember when or why or for how much!!!

Thinking now rather than send in the raw books for signature I should just sell them and the SS Vertigo book.....

"New Feature: eBay Listings from MCS search results

When you are scrolling through comic issues in our catalog, many issues will now show an eBay tab as in the screenshots below. Click the tab to see buy it now or upcoming auction listings available at eBay. I know that many comic collectors already use us as a resource to get a feel for market pricing, and I'm confident that the addition of these eBay listings will make our catalog pages that much more useful to our visitors."

@Jesse_O recently. I got an email about it yesterday. I don't understand it, especially when they list raw grades from sellers other than MCS. Maybe it'll be short lived.

I think it is smart for MCS. Ebay asking prices are typically inflated vs MCS (typically!) so in most cases it will drive favorable comparisons.

Extra smart would be some monetization if traffic driven there resulting in a sale would get them a fractional cut too. That is how some travel websites work (listing competing offers).

yeah..isn't some internet wizardry where if you buy the item using the link from their site then they get a small amount of $$??

Perhaps. But if you โ€œtoot your own fluteโ€ enough you may pick up unexpected skills and become a master debater.

@poka @flanders thanks!!! I hadn't looked at the latest newsletter. It surprised me, but like @Davethebrave pointed out, many times the better buy is through MCS, especially when you consider shipping. And honestly, it's a nice service to offer customers. For the comic in the screenshot I posted, MCS doesn't have any in stock. I'll still wait for MCS to get one in though. ๐Ÿ˜

If MCS includes links to their own items on eBay, it would definitely make their own prices look better.

Is this really worth $68,000?

Seller's Grading Comments: 1st comic App of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Premium only in select Funpals Underwear late Jan 1994; two months earlier than Sentai #2 and Disney Adventures #6 (4/1994). A Teenage Mutant Turtle #1 has over 800 CGC graded (at nearly $100k for a 9.8). This one is over 200X as rare. Besides low-print run, most were tossed; if you could wear one of your favorite heroes, why read the comic! This particular 1st App of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers has only four (4) copies at CGC!!! and only appears in market every couple years; a testament to the difficulty of finding even one out there. Truly a centerpiece to any modern collection.

lol!! NO not worth it

For that type of money you could probably employ one of the actual Power Rangers for 2 or 3 years - or produce at least 1 episode where you could be the star!! - now that would be worth it...if Power Rangers was your thing - also...they were out in Japan long before North America - pretty sure there must be a comic/manga 1st appearance there somewhere?
