1st time ordering from poor boy comics. see pics. all the venom 27 third prints had spine ticks.
they also use super-thin custom backing board with a plastic coating.
How were they packed into the package? Alternating spines or ?
Each book had thin backing board and placed in one bag and then placed in a gemini holder which can hold 20 books. the gemini holder was than placed in a box. packaging seemed fine but each of the books had a few spine ticks in the middle of the book. is that what others are seeing. seems like a tough book to get in 9.8 with the black spine.
It doesnāt help thereās a part on the covers spine that looks like a tic but itās just a white dot they printed on that part of the cover on those Venom 3rd prints.
I actually noticed that most of the copies of that book that I have seen had spine tics, I am guessing they come that way from Diamond for a lot of retailers.
Bruhā¦ 15 copies and not even one that showed up looking minty? Sorry manā¦ And I thought I had it bad 
This is a shame indeedā¦ Not much hope left for my copies when I get themā¦
Iāve got 37 copies from 5 different online retailers and not a single flaw on any of them.
who did you order from?
Pics or it didnt happenā¦ 
Toss, Grahamās, midtown, SH, BTC, still waiting on TFaw to get here.
I would but you know how I put away my books, I know what room they are in but what box could take a minute or all night to find them. lol
Slabbed Heroes has buy 2get1 for free on 9.8 CGC copies $99.98 for 3 of them real pain in the ass to find something cheaper than $20 to get that free shipping at $100 though 
Just order 6 slabs for the price of 4 and boom free shipping 
LCS had a deal or no deal promotion on their online store, basically give them an offer and they either accept it or counter, Iāve been wanting this book for a while now and they accepted my offer, happy to have it in the collection.

I have always liked turners work
Regardless of whether the books were unscathed Iād be talking to your postal carrier. Telling them though they work rain, sleet or snow my packages donāt. Please donāt leave my packages out in the weather. Itās common sense and what theyād want done if someone was delivering something to them. Hell why not just chuck it in the bird bath?

Yeah most definitely. I just moved in to the new house so getting acquainted with my postal worker sanitation guys etc. I been getting the new guy treatment past couple weeks lol.
I have given my postman a Christmas gift of cash in an envelope every year. He takes care of me. Good guy. I also gave him an extra āChristmas cardā in the mailbox this summer for just being out there.
