Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafiaThe offer on the x men book is only 20 below GPA, so fair price for that one...although long term it will likely move even higher. People seem to love that book, and alot of them are being taken for Steranko to sign before time passes that chance by. |

| @Scifinator Without checking the recent sales, I’ll say, I personally wouldn’t let a 9.8 go for that. | ||

| @Bronte Hard to get any current sales: 7.0 sold for $2K last July 7.5 Rockford Pedigree sold for $2,800 2 years ago. 8.5 Sold for $3,800 2 years ago. 9.0 Sold for over $6K 3 years ago. I'm thinking it sells between $2,800 and $3,200? Maybe $3,200 OBO? |

| Thank you for taking the time to look. I've looked off and on ebay for awhile and only see 2 copies at a lower grade sitting for the longest time..... |

| I put it at a price higher that suggested, because I'm not sure I want to sell it. But it's on ebay, we shall see how it goes. Thank you 2 for providing a baseline for me. |

| @EbayMafia I clicked on the specific grade. Last recorded sale in grade was 2008, & I didn’t notice that. Here’s the bigger picture:  |

| @Scifinator It seems that you have 2 piles, Permanent Collection pile and Sell Now Pile. May I suggest that you consider a third pile...a "9.8 put away for the future" pile. I just can't see sending a book in for grading, getting the 9.8 gold standard and then selling for less than $100. There's a chance several of them will be worth significantly more in the future and very little chance that any of them would be worth less. Some of those books are the only 9.8 slabs in existence. Unless you really need the money, maybe just sit on those 9.8's for a while and look at them again once a year on a regular basis? | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @EbayMafia - I hear you, and you are correct, quite a few from my collection are either single highest or only CBCS graded examples. On the auction side of the equation, these are the 2nd, 3rd, etc copies and I have a duplicate listed in the static listing. As you know MCS will charge storage after a year so I am culling the excess inventory(with the exception of the Silver Surfer 50, that was a mistake and I should not have put that in the auction). If I lose 5-15 on a few dozen books, I am ok with it. You know my story. Over 3,000 comics and wanted to protect the permanent collection so I engaged the endeavor to encase all with a goal of selling 2/3 - 3/4 to recoup the cost of grading all. Do I need the money? Thankfully not. I would probably say I need the space more. At this point the sale has become my hobby/escape. In some sense, I have already been employing your advice as I havent sent in most of my independents like Topps, Continuity, Legacy, Malibu, Triumphant, etc, as I would guess that it would be difficult to get even $35 each for those. I also feel, that as the masses are able to start traveling, congregating at concerts and sports venues, stop receiving “stimulus” checks that many don’t need, etc., we will start to see a correction in the comics speculation. So, I am somewhat of the get it sold now and put the money to work elsewhere while i can mode. |

| The guy just bought a fantastic four 1 cgc 4.0. He wants to buy off ebay. I told him no. He is disturbed about taxes. I told him I have to pay ebay fees. It's the price we gotta pay to do business. |

| I checked on those last 2 books, they have WHITE pages. Sadly my book is cream to off white. I know page color commands a premium, but from 8500 to 12.5k is a huge premium for that page quality. | ||
