| I have noticed that while I am still losing auctions, I am losing them for less money. The gap between what I would pay and what they are closing for is shrinking. | ||

| Do record sales only happen at comiclink, HA, and CC? Seems like we had some discounts at MCS. | ||

Here's one good example of a raw book graded by MCS at 4.0 (close look of the scan shows it wasn't undergraded, note the tanning line on edge of right cover, spine wear etc.s Few days later, I won a CGC 5.0 OW/WP slabbed copy of this book for $54 on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164905909513 I'll be listing the CGC 5.0 slab at above the raw 4.0 MCS sold auction price on eBay, once it arrives in a few days. Just paid for it, along with 2 other slabs I won from that seller, a few minutes ago.  |
