| Decided to bump this a final time...before sending to MCS. Opening asking price there will be 4.5 k. Most recent sale in 7.0 GPA was 4975 and in 7.5 4800. My ask is 3 k here, with a five percent members discount or 2850 to an established board member, thanks |

| MCS will list that at a 5.5. Don't do it. | ||

| Yeah, precisely why I had left it over here and was allowing for a lower price than the current market. If I move it to MCS I will likely slab and press it to maximize my return and go for high end market price. I doubt it has had anything restored or altered having owned the book for almost forty years. That being said, anything is possible, albeit it unlikely. Before I purchased the book, the price was low enough it would not have been as likely a target although I do agree that there are alot of silver books it looks like someone went marker happy with despite the price or book. |

| @Darkseid_of_town It's quite a quandary. By sending to CBCS or CGC first you definitely maximize your selling price and have more flexibility in where you sell the book. However that's going to take extra time. If you send straight to MCS you can have it up for sale in 2 weeks with a clean bill of health but they are going to put a grade on it that might limit the price and also it's going to be offered to a limited audience. I'm thinking if it were mine I would probably bite the bullet and front the money to have it quick-graded by CBCS (or CGC) and then offer it on Ebay and the forums simultaneously before sending to MCS. It's more valuable than any book I've ever sold. With a book of this value I think it's worth it to buy yourself some options. | ||

| Definitely some good input there for sure. Not really in a rush to move the book, had it for almost forty years now and bought it as a "fluke" to seal a much larger deal that day. I had floated the idea of trading it to several others over the past few years but noone had seemed agreeable. It is perhaps one of the least pricey second issues in the silver age grail runs apparently .....try offering a spidey 2, or fantastic four 2 and watch people jump in line. Offered this one to people several times and for far lower than its current market selling level, roughly 5 k. No takers eve then... Seriously considering taking a boardies suggestion and putting it on the boards over at CGC to see what happens ....might get a serious offer there, who knows |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town I think that's probably a good idea. Over there you have more dealers and "professionals". So you have more guys who are confident in their own abilities to accurately grade and inspect for restoration. I know for myself personally I don't have enough confidence in my abilities to spend even $2K on a raw book. |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| If you wanted to get it slabbed but also just have it out of your hands, comiclink has an option to send it to them for auction and they get it CBCS or CGC graded first. Grading cost is taken out of your sale. If I were in a position to upgrade, I would. It's a good-looking book. You're right that it's a weirdly undervalued #2; I think 3 and 4 have it swamped in people's minds. |
