| Is that Gil Kane? Wow. I usually don't like his stuff, but that is fantastic. I guess it's just his later work I didn't care much for, because this one is awesome. Quote: Originally Posted by poka |

Well, I pulled the trigger on this one. Love that cover. I've been keeping an eye out for a good copy of this for a couple years now, and I think this fills the bill. It's got restoration, which keeps the price down while still looking good. (Re-glossing.) In the same auction a Fantastic Four #4 at 2.5 sold for almost the same amount, just $18 less, graded, and it looks WAY uglier, with lots of tape on the cover. Even with the resto I think I got a good deal on this one. Even if purple label, it should grade higher than the advertised 4.5 (but I'll let y'all know.) |

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

Bid on this after being a bit rattled that I was outbid on Alf 48, which would've been the holy grail of my collection. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I was really surprised how high those Alfs went for. But I'm glad to see Akira getting some love. I've got a couple of those in a long box somewhere, bought off the rack back in the day. I'll have to get 'em graded, it seems. |

| I think it's mostly the generation that grew up in the 80s and possibly early 90s that now have money to spend on comics. I was willing to pay up to $160 for a 9.2. Anyone younger than 30 probably has no idea who Gordon Shumway even is and would find him terrifying. With a live action movie announced I'm not sure when Akira 1's price will climax. | ||

| Respectfully, I would tend to disagree. The amount of children with iPhones astounds me. Kids with 2000$ laptops etc... I think that it would be more fair to say that our generation is more apt to purchase comics because of sentimental reasons rather than disposable income. If ole Gordon was terrifying, what would Barney the dinosaur be? I shudder to even think of words to describe it.... |

Quote:Originally Posted by pokaI used to think like that too...buying below GPA is a win everytime, then I began to study it closer at least for cgc slabbed books. It dawned on me that slab Thor 150 that showed selling at a ninety day average of 250 for a 9.4 that I won for 200 might be mistake ….because once mine I just bought is factored in and you add the price I paid into the average it drops the average value of that book...suppose you manage to drop the average by twenty dollars then once you pay shipping and any other relateds you are actually behind once you land the comic.If it is a comic that seldom changes hands or seldom sells slabbed in that grade it may sit until your purchase is the last recorded sale and is the determiner for its average value and can drop to your paid price....if the next person does sell one in that grade without checking where its at in the next highest and lowest grade, and uses your purchase as his guide and undersells the current market the book will continue dropping.....so hopefully he will see it sells for more in lower grades and raise the price , but not everyone thinks to do that. Realizing that makes me very cautious using GPA as a guide for buying slabs ….but its a lot of help on raw books which oddly it was never intended to be used for. I am sure using GPA would be great for selling though... |

| @Darkseid_of_town I always consider the books I purchase below GPA to be an abberation. I will not sell them at that price and it is not likely that anyone else will either. In time the cream will rise to the top and prices will go back where they were before my purchase. |

| Sadly that isn't always the case.Some sellers appear to take the most current sale price or ninety days average and run with it...true enough cream does eventually rise to the top but it depends if you are in a place where you can sit and watch the cup till it does.Depending the rate a book sells at and it's scarcity you may be waiting months or years | ||
