  1. fuelman bought a 20K action 10 for $200 on ebay about 3 or 4 years ago...that was a big win
  2. 5 copies of just cap 1 have already traded hands in 2 months, and those are just the ones I know about. But prices (asking and realized) have escalated too quickly on all keys and this cycle has happened in the past and it closing in on happening again.... just saying it makes me nervous. Maybe it's sustainable for years to come but it's not good for the hobby imo Blue labels ? Private sales ? -J. 3 blue, 2 restored. All private. Public sales are just a fraction of the market activity on ga keys Do you generally find that private sales are a better indicator of FMV than public ones? Or vice versa ? -J. they are both part of the equation, naturally.
  3. 60k for a 2.0 is nosebleed for the majority of collectors ...id guess an overwhelming % And when prices like this get realized, it's both good and bad. i hope the bad doesn't overshadow the good

  6. Agreed that goes for any hobby. Nah. Just making up a little ground on the Batman/Superman 1's of the world. -J. And a superman 1 that sold for 80k 2 years ago realistically is a 300k book today. Sorry, my opinion is we are in for a rude awakening sooner or later Slow and steady, that wins the race
  7. Feels like hyperinflation to me ...not good for the hobby imo
  8. I used Steves glossinator to take a pic of my sens. What do you think
  9. a friend asked me to show him a cool centaur run...this is what I shot for him
  10. I sure hope so. WOW sounds like a man with a dog in the race. dog owner
  11. eye appeal for grade is strong. 40+ very reasonable. Obviously seller thinks it's worth 54 (post clink net)
  12. I read the notes as saying it is detached at multiple/both Staples
  13. it also could have possibly been a restored copy, with the glue (and maybe some ct) removed... that's a "visual" possibility without any confirmation on my end
  14. my initial comment should have been "if cover is split or detached/reattached with tape" and "cf reattached with tape", then 2.0 as high as cgc goes I believe... I was rushing through on phone, and didn't properly confirm siri had gotten it right... I have not pulled notes, just guestimating based on the notes of tape, that is the obvious reason (given nothing is readily visibly apparent)
  15. cover is split and detached...2.0 is as high as it goes...but it does "present" better...not 60K imo, but a pretty copy in the slab... just graded a few weeks ago so not a pre May 2013 submission exactly...2.0 is now as high as cgc goes , I believe, on tape reattached covers...days past, might have been a 4.0 (hence the asking price I'm sure)
  16. cover is split and detached...2.0 is as high as it goes...but it does "present" better...not 60K imo, but a pretty copy in the slab...
