| The investor in me wonders - this CBCS 9.8 Hulk 181, would it come back as a 9.8 CGC? If not and it comes back a 9.6 CGC, would the $$ drop be prohibitive? After all, there's LOTS of fees involved in getting a $25k plus book shipped and graded... (It's not going priority mail, AND the grading fee (4% is about $1,100), and return shipping costs... I think worrying about the grade dropping is the fear here... lol |

Quote:Originally Posted by multi007 The investor math is simple: P(CGC grade at 9.8) x likely sale price less fees at CGC 9.8 + P(CGC grade at 9.6) x likely sale price less fees at CGC 9.6 + P(CGC grade 9.4) x likely sale price less fees at CGC 9.4 minus cost to regrade and associate insurance = expected proceeds. If those expected proceeds are > the price paid for this book (plus taxes) then it is a buy. If someone believes CGC systematically grades higher than CBCS, it should inform the math. Of course, can’t really know where a CGC 9.8 would have ended last night… so still some risk here during a time of wild swings in these books. |

| The colors of that hulk are not the deepest. The page quality is not white. And it is a mis wrapped cover. That's a factor I think for this book. If I was going to spend that kind of money I'd want no white showing on the left hand side and white pages. |

| I think the cover of gsx is so much better. I don't know how much that matters but if I was going to have one on my wall I would want that one. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck $10k I've seen some nice raws with pretty colors in the raw 8.5 range go for $8k. Thinking I'd by the 9.8 for $10k then flip it to someone that buys slabs and not books for $20k Then buy a nice raw VF then bet the rest and lose it at the track. My above avatar says it all, thanks Jesse  |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia That was one of my acquisitions during the MCS Monday auction. I've been tracking this book and patiently waiting to see if it would drop under $300. I almost got it for a little less, but someone placed a higher bid in the waning seconds. I immediately placed another bid, which, surprisingly, turned out to be the winning bid. |
