My collection is just a pile of painted wood specks without this book.
Update - No knock on Harley, in my dealings, including this one, he has been a stand up guy and even refunded extra for my troubles.
This has happened to me 3 times now.. It's so frustrating. Don't these guys take the time to take them down or at least update their sites? It's such a waste of time and they usually don't tefund the fees involved in sending money via pp and then having to withdraw the money again.

If it makes you feel any better I had the CSS 22 that Harley was selling in hand at last years Calgary Comic Expo and it was no better than a 4.0.

Not to make this a jump on Harley thread ... but I recently bought a book from him off eBay that was supposedly a fn+. Had an undisclosed staple pop and writing on a couple of inside pages. Pretty clear that it had been graded through the bag. He (or whoever was answering his e-mail) was apologetic and he took the book back, but I was out return postage. I have had other positive dealings with him but he's stretched very thin, which makes buying from him online decidedly iffy.

Here's a nice one... Should do pretty well. Belongs to a boardie.
Funny how this book has passed the GFC copy of 16 in the same auction. The 16 from what I hear is hard to find in anything above F+ and has a great cover as well.
