  1. If i followed the naysayers for the last 10 years; i'd be looking from the outside in. The easiest argument is that too much supply(usually the golden age guys). But i am surprised of the 5.0 sales for $50k+. It was a $10k book less than 10 years ago
  2. Ever since i joined the boards, ive bought as many af15 as i could afford. Bought all types of grades, from 0.5-7.0. Upgraded along the way. It's worked out pretty well for me.
  3. I'm looking to add more af15 to my collection, hoping to show my updated inventory by september
  4. The reds and yellow are very deep and bright. The gray background is still gray. I know, my former copy
  5. How about the guy's that bought 4.0s or 4.5s two years ago, they might not need super strong numbers to sell their copy. They might just be ok with an average number
  6. The grader notes has the back cover with marvel chipoing and also pre-marvel chipping
  7. +1, it would be toasted if it was in my garage
  8. Your copy has deep bright colors and no mc. I should know since i sold it to you
  9. I'm in the cheerleader camp but i'm also sad that prices have bumped up so much that it be hard to get future copies. Might end up resorting to the 0.5-1.5 range. The days when 5.0s were less than $10k.......
  10. i know everyone's talked about the 8.0 but the 5.0($53k), 4.0 ss ($27K) all had super strong numbers
  11. I was gonna relive my glory high school days and snipe this graded golden axe at the last minute. Guess i was wrong, $1025. Coudn't even snipe it, my bid was too low http://m.ebay.com/itm/262998892270
  12. Might explain the reason why the current 8.0 is at a record price. Expendable cash/8.0 isn't made available readily
  13. Some of the books are not upgradeable. The 8.0 isn't upgradeable based on grader notes. The 8.0 buyer obviously thinks he won't be able to purchase another 8.0. Might just be an outlier sale. Only thing i can think is the 2009 analogy. There was a big upswing during that period and pullback afterwards.
  14. Drama not needed, i don't thread cra.. On other people's wtb or sales thread. Pretty simple. Dealt with enough well respected board members on here, like to keep it drama free
  15. A board member questioned my wtb thread, don't need extra drama for nothing
  16. A board member questioned my wtb thread, don't need extra drama for nothing
  17. I just got a 7.5 recently, wouldn't mind flipping it for $200k
  18. there's a lot of hatred for af15 mania. I don't see the af15 guys going over to the golden age area and hating on the "classic covers" or the pre-robin tecs. Pretty entertaining if you ask me. Similar analogy to my beloved gs warriors. a lot of people hating them right now since they've formed the super team. Hate all you want cause it's not gonna stop the steaming train.
