spreads

Fair enough. I'm curious why you don't just send them in one batch together? Shipping from Canada to and especially from CGC is atrocious (costly), so I pile them all in one shipment together....

If there's one takeaway from this thread.....avoid the value service whenever possible!

What book? I sent a book to CGC/CCS, received on the 19th. The book was pressed at CCS and CGC received the book on the 30th. Today (or yesterday) the CGC status changed from received to SFG, so it looks like the time it took to be graded express will be (or a little more) the 5 days listed on the site....i'll keep you posted.

Eh, could be worst...I see a bunch of spawns, this might not be all terrible. And any image newwsies? There's a couple of auction houses around here that advertise comics, at most of them it's drek, and they always sell for at least a buck a piece. Like your uncle, everyone attending these auctions is thinking the same thing, hey this comic has to be worth at least a buck!? But we all know better.... :P

Nice grab. I just picked up two 75 second prints!

The only scene I clearly remember is the pump and dump!

I went to an estate auction with 25 longs, all books crammed in bags without boards. Sadly it was buyers choice, but it was still fun going through all the boxes before they came up for sale.

Just stick him on ignore...

Some great pickups over the last ten days...I’m on vacation, last week I checked out a very large antique store. The comics were atrociously overpriced, but i picked up some great spices and sauces as they had many local producers. There are a lot of duds during the hunt, but it’s still fun and you can’t get discouraged.

I also want to add, it's great that you have the intensity to keep locking down great stuff after buying collections not fully processed.

You are a machine! Good stuff. Always be cobbling!!

Hey, don't bring your anti-CBC Alburrrtah bias into this thread! I've seen a few episodes of that show, it's actually quite good - a lot better than a good chunk of the Netflix/Starz/Crave content...

Hi guys, I've listed an original owner TWD collection on ebay; these books were part of a very large collection I purchased. I don't think they've ever been read, straight from the LCS! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/183942281620 If you have any questions, fire away!

You've made some well thought-out comments, and present a solid case so thanks for this....but I don't see it unfolding like this at all, time will tell.

A good test would be to see if the buyers of this book have some kind of ethnic or biological attachment to the character. As you previously pointed out, before the announcement, very few people gave two about this guy....the book will crumble, make no mistake about it, the $64 million dollar question is when...

Books like this are clearly speculators and flippers, not collectors looking to hold onto it indefinitely.

Haha. Was their subway sauce on those X-Men books?

I don't know how that turns into raws, but I have at least 15 copies of that book in various grades that I can't seem to get $10 (and that's CAD!) for.

LOL Although in this book's defense, in the plethora of copper age comic collections it doesn't seem to be as common as other titles. This is purely anecdotal of course....

Very interesting....who would have thought, even with Harby 1 at very strong prices (albeit not at highs).

There are a lot more punisher fans out there than moon knight....I have no problem selling: trades, sets and runs, and keys/semi keys for Punisher. I don't know if this is localized to my area, but Punisher is a title I am happy to own.

....Batman 1, Superman 1 and Turok 1?

I'm convinced there are a lot of dealers that are more concerned about having expensive wallpaper, than to create a sale transaction. I've even made bulk deals to larger dealers before if I felt it was a decent price to move a chunk of stuff out.....

Coffee (and donuts) are for closers! Congrats and show some pics!

You didn't go to the garage sale Sunday? Good guys, cheap books....thought you'd be all over it.
