About the desk

A reservation desk that still reads the cover file

Logic Control Path exists because collectors in Thailand were filing holds from screenshots that did not match the solicitation. We write the mismatch down before anyone pretends a cover is held.

Origin

Niran Vong started taking notes at Bangkok weekend tables where Avengers crossover covers were compared on phones. The notes were more useful than the queue. Mei-Ling Cho joined to check variant letters against listing files. Correspondence later settled on the listed Taipei line so collectors outside Thailand had a postal address that did not move with cafe bookings.

What we believe we owe you

A reservation is a sentence with a date, not a mood. If a window is already closed, the note says closed. If a bundle would hide a duplicate you already hold, the duplicate is named and removed. We would rather lose a fee than file a decorative hold.

How we work

Requests arrive by the form or by email. Cover facts are checked against the host listing. Fees are quoted in Thai baht. Payment, when you choose to proceed, happens off this site. Bangkok table hours are booked; they are not a shop floor.

Thailand, and the address on the letterhead

Most table readings happen in Bangkok. Collectors in Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Hat Yai write in and receive the same reservation note. The office line printed on every footer is used verbatim for correspondence: 2FL-3,49,Taipei,Taipei,
