paging tim- is this the copy that used to be a 9.2?

that's a nice 8.5. sweet upgrade, tho i think the second book could be a pgx 8.5

it's time to start a mid semester selling thread

0 for 16- underbidder on two stinking books. i can't hang w/ whoever- flash #136!! dear lord.

Sweet copy, Mike! Without question the most nicely centered copy I have ever seen. Looks nicer than any of the 9.4 copies I've seen on sale, and doesn't have the annoying miswrap that most of them seem to have. What's knocking it down to a 9.2? i pizz on 9.4's. i told them i wanted the world's only 9.2. i think the scan makes the book look even better then it is- i'm going to have to have it in hand to point out the minor things that may have knocked it down. i thought it was a 9.2.

Wow! That is a huge price, particularly considering the fugly miswrap on that copy. Beautiful #12!! I think this is a nicer copy. too lazy to check the census- how rare is this book in 9.4? know it was in a DC 3 pak- an early one mind you but those books are typically easier to find in grade. well, maybe not so much- only two of them and nothing higher. i guess that quasi explains the price. Yup, surprisingly scarce in NM. The only slabbed 9.4 copies so far are the one I just posted (no longer owned by me) and the miswrapped one that just sold on Pedigree. spunkydo has to be happy w/ what he paid after this sale.

why monday? i'd have thought w/ holidays you might find date stamps one day later not earlier.

only good thing about this one is that it's mine. someone please post the laughing fish cover.

Is that slab damage to the lower corner? nah, superbaby just took his baby booty to it.

I`ve noticed that several of the early SA DCs in the "Fantastic Frank" collection have heavy grease pencil writing on the covers. I guess he picked up those books from the same collection. Rick, that kind of writing on the cover bothers the hell out of you, right? the atom #2 in the CLINK auction has something similar- i remember first seeing that book when Ed Jaster owned it. there were several Fantastic Frank Actions in a Sunday auction that had the grease pencil as well. Personally, i won't bid on them- they're uglier than sin.

thanks. was going to wait til i had jonnydouble beat but i'm not getting any of my raw peds slabbed anytime soon so...

kudos to foolkiller for purchasing a slaberoo

shaggy man!! hard to believe the JLA survived that one.

sweet- looks almost as nice as my 9.2

Then why not explain your perception. My perception is that he is calling Arthur an insufficiently_thoughtful_person for paying too much for this book (that he has been searching for for 8 years). Greggy does not even have a 9.4 of this book. would've been tough to find a slabbed 9.4 eight years ago . don't see why the price paid should be criticized until the next copy comes along and it sells for a drastically different amount- if that were even to happen.

the #25 for me. actually a bit surprised i won that book. 9.2's get no love. i was the underbidder on the #38 which is a good thing since i picked one up on clink for about the same price.

1-29 9.2 or better 30-99 9.4 or better

I have no idea Mike Hopefully this is not a trend, otherwise I will never finish my JLA run Over the last 3 months, I've picked up a couple JLA's in the 60's in CGC 9.6 for $250-275---I thought I could pick some more up on the Clink auction for around $250-350----winning bids were in the $700's yes, those prices were mindboggling- it's not like these books don't come up in grade. who pays 2-3x gpa?? i suspect it's talk of the movie but maybe it's something else.
