    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Friend at work somehow managed a meeting with Thompson where he was shooting a gun outdoors. Brought along 5 copies of one of Thompson's books (can't remember the title) and asked him to shoot a hole through each one and then autograph them indicating that he did it. Thompson loved the idea...

    This behavior is common when you have to make a quick turn available only from the lane you're in after the initial turn. Several of those where I live.

    They are expensive books (more than $400 each), so I had to pay $80 each to get them graded, which sort of fast tracks them. They advertised 5 weeks and It took 3. I sent in some lower value Silver Age books (under $400) 2 months earlier and still haven't got those back. The turnaround for...

    I bought this book just for reading way before better condition copies became very valuable - probably paid a quarter for it. In addition to the scratches on the cover, that is a severe miswrap, not a spine roll, and the top staple is completely detached from the inner pages. If only I had...

    As long as you pack them loosely, I think you'll be all right. You should be able to easily thumb through them and pick one up and insert it back down with little effort. I also put a comic-size cardboard piece at the front and end of each long box, as those areas were subject to the most damage.
