Books are here: CGC 9.8s of Bloodshot 1/Harbinger 2/X-O 3

Post by ckb »

edit: Deadline extended to May 18th.

Pretty much the same deal as last month! Deadline is May 17th.

Change: Due to the trouble I had screening X-O 1, I am going to limit the deal to 20 slabs of each book. If we get over 20 I will "wait list" the order, and then it all depends on how many slabs I get back. Also, because of the screening problems, I removed the rule about offering "upgrades" to grades over 9.8 for a fixed price.

These books come out in July, and you should not expect your slab (or, hopefully not, refund) before October. I should get them back way before then, but it actually could be September. I guarantee I will have them in the mail to CGC within 10 days of release date.

Rules:

1. Price is $40/slab. I worked the numbers and this is what I have to do, unforunately. I am going to be paying about $5/copy for the raw books. I worked out a deal with a local shop to screen them right out of the cases when they come in. So, if you work out my out-of-pocket costs:

$5 (book) + $18 (slab fee + return shipping) + $1 (shipping to CGC) + $10 (shipping to you) + $1.50 (paypal fee) + $0.30 (bag/board/HOTFLIPS CGC bag) = $35.80

2. Post what you want in this thread - XO 3 regular, Harbinger 2 regular, Bloodshot 1 regular, Bloodshot 1 pullbox variant, and quantity.

3. Do not edit your post past the 17th or I may not honor your order.

4. I have decided, probably unwisely, to go on the honor system in terms of payment if you just want one. Please don't make me be sorry. Be prepared to pay me via paypal in July or August. This way if I have to refund anything I can do it for free within the paypal system.

5. If you want more than one copy, I probably need payment in advance. Post your order here and I will PM you with instructions.

6. In the unlikely event I do not have enough slabs to go around, we will use a lottery run by a third party to determine who gets the slabs and who gets refunds.

7. In the extremely unlikely event that I have enough slabs to go around but some are above 9.8, the following will be how the slabs are allocated: 1. I get one of the highest grade off the top for the master set. 2. A lottery run by a third party will be held to determine who gets the higher grades at the original $40 price. 3. Everyone else gets 9.8s. ( I can't stress how unlikely this is because I am going to oversubmit by a lot. I just want people to know I am not going to refund their money and then go and sell 9.9s I got back.)

8. The process will be as open and transparent as possible. You will know how many of each book I submit and how many I get back and what grades. I will work to keep this as fair as possible.

That's it. Thanks to everyone. If anything is unclear ask questions here.

Thanks for the kind words.

I can't make any promises on X-O 1, unfortunately. I am just too iffy on how hard CGC is going to be on that book. If they don't hammer them I have a few others on a "waitlist" that I will add you to, but I am pessimistic. I may have to try to retail my extras to cover my costs.
