I'm not sure why I bid on this, I do like the artwork, but I probably should've picked up a decent copy for $5 instead. |

It’s missing the action transfers (I’m not sure they came attached or tucked in), but this book is a ghost in high grade. Not often you come across one in any grade. From across the pond. Packaging was not great, but it arrived ok. Im guessing an 8.0-8.5 if missing the transfers isn’t a hit. Very clean with only the faintest blemishes. One more grail off my list. |

@poka I put in two feeble bids in this Prime auction and both were beat by one dollar. Of the books I was watching, it sure seems like there were a lot of good prices to be had in this auction: $275 Ended Apr 12 Flash (1959 1st Series DC) 117 VG 4.0 11 bids $647 Ended Apr 13 Hawkman (1964 1st Series) 4 CGC 4.5 25 bids $140 Ended Apr 13 Heavy Metal Magazine (1977) Vol. 1 #1 FN/VF 7.0 12 bids $205 Ended Apr 13 Justice League of America (1960 1st Series) 21 CGC 5.0 19 bids $233 Ended Apr 13 Marvel Team-Up (1972 1st Series) 65 CBCS 9.4 14 bids $73 Ended Apr 13 Uncanny X-Men (1963 1st Series) 59 CBCS 5.5 Unfortunately I am pretty much out of the comic buying business for the next few months. Bleeding cash with a move...buying new appliances, furniture, etc. Otherwise I would have gone after most of these. |

Quote:Originally Posted by poka So true. The last 10%-25% of a price typically comes down to just 2 bidders. The importance of the second place bidder to the final selling price tends to be under-recognized. I always thought it would be clever of Ebay to have some kind of Ebay Bucks consolation recognition for the second place bidder. The two I wanted were the Heavy Metal magazine and, to fill in my run, the X-men 59. |

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. | xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
Anyone have guesses as to what happened here? https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=55959256 https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=55892287 Same book, the MCS-graded 8.5 went for close to double the CGC graded 9.0. Even counting on MCS undergrading, that's a heck of a jump. |

I live in RI and Rhode Islanders eat chili with beans. | esaravo private msg quote post Address this user | |
@xkonk - That 8.5 looked pretty good in the large-scale pictures. So at least a few people thought it would grade a couple of steps higher. The cream to off-white pages on the 9.0 also probably turned off a few potential buyers. I have seen this happen quite often, where a lower graded raw sells for more than a slightly higher graded slab. What ever happened to a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush? |

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk @xkonk - If one is a cgc fanboy, then it is obvious somebody reeeallly wanted the raw copy to read. If one is a regular MCS customer, or a discerning bidder, you can see that the 8.5 raw copy has fewer flaws, better coloring, and likely much better page quality. |

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. | GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
