| @Scifinator I was pricing some inventory at MCS and saw something that made me curious; just how many 9.8 CBCS copies of WILDCats #1 did you own? | ||

| @EbayMafia - That was one of my two long term speculative purchases that I made at time of publication. In 1983, I bought 100 Alpha Flight #1. In 1992, I bought 100 WildCATS. The purchase of the WildCATs got me the Gold Variant edition also. | ||

| I put Animal Comics 27 in the pot this week, a nice 5.0 with a Jigger cover and white interior pages. It's always a pleasant surprise to see white pages in a 75 year old book, I almost held it for that reason alone. |

| @EbayMafia - off the top of my head, 2 @ 9.9, 80-85% @ 9.8, 5-10% @ 9.6, and 2-5% @ 9.4. That is for the WildCATS. Alpha Flight would have been similar but fir my wife putting a box in the garage, unbeknownst to me until after they got damaged. | ||

| This is the only book I have in auction this week that I think is interesting enough to post here at the moment. Anyone who's been considering getting one of these should keep in mind the cost and time required to slab a magazine these days: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=56364321  |

| I just noticed that MCS has a "featured items" tab for their weekly auctions. I doubt any of my books will be in it, but kind of cool. Surprised I never noticed that until 3 years of looking at their auctions: https://www.mycomicshop.com/auctions?agid=547&feat=1 |

| ya..know....had a few sales the last 2 MCS auctions and was going to either bid on a book at Heritage or save for a sketch or two in August but NooooOOOOoooooo..... f'ing check engine light came on... I might get lucky - I have a VW diesel and there are issues with the ERG etc. that are still under warranty - really hoping it's covered!!..either that or it's electrical tape time!!! (i.e. just cover the check engine light - everything sounds and runs smooth) |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 Huh, I never noticed that before. That may explain why it got a much lower grade than I expected. I would say it probably happened in shipping to CGC but 2 other magazines in that group graded 9.6. So it can't really be shipping damage. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Dude, with the number of people handling our books, it's wonder any of us ever get a 9.6 or higher. I started taking pics before shipping books out so I can remember what they looked like. But that book would definitely get a grade bump with a press. May not be but half a grade and may not be worth the time and money. If it's not something you want to hold, flip that thing... |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Congrats on the sale. Agreed, mags are expensive to grade in comparison to comics. Back in the 90's I read the magazine Overstreet Comic Book Marketplace. It provided stories about artists and their respective works. Still have about 40-50 in pristine condition. Read once, some twice. Bagged & boarded. They had great cover art and would look nice in slabs, but at a large cost. I may send in a few of the best ones some day. |
