When GPA started, they asked Comiclink to join and Comiclink said "we will give you SOME of the sales, but not everything". GPA said "no thanks". Comiclink wanted to manipulate GPA.

Re: Selling full runs with autographs

Unless you enjoy listing and packaging, it seems like the kind of thing that mycomicshop would handle for you. You might email them and ask about how they'd handle the signatures, since they're legit but unwitnessed and you're not looking to get them certified.

I think the hosting company got everything fixed but they haven't closed the support ticket yet, so I guess it's possible the site might go down again before it comes back up.

If they were truly confident in their product, they'd sell it in all stores, and create value through value. Instead, they play stupid games with a niche audience who are drawn to being treated poorly in the name of exclusivity. So, instead doing of the Walmart/Amazon model for sales, they're tryin...
