| I have an attorney from when I was sued by an ADA tester, but I don't have one on retainer. I'm thinking if this guy forces me to get an attorney, I'll sue him to pay for the attorney fees. I haven't seen the footage but the camera is literally right next to the impact point of the truck. I told the tenant to keep footage because the company might be an ass and we might need to show it in court. He said ok. By the way, if you own your own business make sure your ada compliant. Testers are assholes suing everyone and their brothers. The amount of people being sued has apparently skyrocketed in my area. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I don't know how much attorney letters cost where you are, but I can get one for about $150. This is small change compared to a full blown lawsuit. Plus it starts the machine by creating a paper trail if it does go to litigation. |

| I picked this up from MCS recently. They had it graded at a 7.5 which I was hoping after a clean and press I might get 8.5. This version came with two pairs of 3-D glasses. A different version came with no glasses. My question is does not having the original pair of glasses affect the grade, or do they just list on the label no glasses included? I really wanted Dave Stevens signed version of this book, but I really don’t want a restored or qualified book from the 80s if I send this in to the authenticated and encapsulated what should I be expecting? I checked on eBay for listings and sold and could not find this version graded and encapsulated without the glasses included.  |

| If the glasses are missing, at CBCS the book would take a grade hit and the label would state "INCOMPLETE.", along with a label note about the glasses missing. | ||

| So I recently had michaels do a framing on the kirby art i had. The frame collapsed in on itself and fell off the wall. If I didn't have a bunch of junk underneath the frame it would have been a lot worse. The question is should I even have michaels do the frame again? I dont know if I could trust them. We are talking about a 12k value art.  |

| I have never had issue with their stuff in the past but this is making me pause. I just spoke to a lady on the phone and she is trying to make it right. The manager won't be there on Sunday, but will be on Saturday. She said she would ask them to put in a cross brace to increase rigidity. | ||

| Is it hanging from that clip on the top frame portion? If so, is it just because the wire pulled the two sides together and that’s how it collapsed on itself? | ||

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| The frame had 2 eyelets. One on each side. I used a wire to tie the 2 eyelets to make it easier to hang. I thought that a wire is how frames used to be hung all the time. Is this a common problem with heavy frames? |

KatKomics private msg quote post Address this user | |
| with heavy frames I tend to get these weird things where its almost like a J channel on the wall and the top on the back of the frame - so they fit nice and tight with like 6 inches or more of contact although I tend to use that for ones that are too high up to get behind and hook the wire Cross supports and corner re-enforcement are for sure needed for heavy and/or large. I currently have a couple like 4ft by 5ft paintings hanging - not super heavy but large!! and they need cross supports and corner beef ups in the frames so they don't warp or collapse in on themselves. On those sizes the wire is long enough I can mount 2 hooks so the sides are less likely to pull in toward the center - still happy the cross supports are there though! |

Quote:Originally Posted by BronteI don’t have any OA art or the like, but I do know integrity of the piece holding it is extremely important. My parents had a few of my art school projects framed and I cringed a bit that the matting is straight instead of beveled  . If they have treated you right in the past; I’d at least let them reframe it. Worst case I’d ask for a refund and look at other options; maybe museum quality. Idk a 2k piece is more than anything I own. Good luck! |

Quote:Originally Posted by ICConquestif the 3d glasses were bound with the book and removed; it should affect the grade. If they are included with book but not bound then it would not affect the grade since they cannot include them with book in the slab as with any loose items including trading cards, 3d glasses, mini comic inserts, COAs, etc. |

| That was a pretty good deal, but not earth shattering. A 4.0 signed by Wrightson sold during the covid craze for $193. Given an adjustment for sanity, that's only about $20 off the mark. An unsigned 5.5 just sold for $115. And an unsigned 3.5 for $80. Auctions are always risky. Something like that should have been listed as a BIN. |

Just curious how much of a hit the grade would get from this. Other than the missing piece the book is super clean and has the Tattooz. Is it worth to get it graded or sell it as is?    |
