I went to 4k on the church. Lost Got a nice consolation copy I just pulled out my Everett copies and my 20-23,25&26s but I can find where I put my 12-19

Only aman I'm missing I got one of those! Open to offers I can't refuse Better grab a bucket, GAtor's gonna throw a flood of money at you. Actually tsp99 indirectly hooked me up with a copy yesterday. The aman run is complete 5-26

Only aman I'm missing

i will take it

172/137 respectively...quite "shocking" to me, in all honesty I'm beyond shocked, but can't say I'm "unhappy" .............. As much as I'd like to be happy too, I would consider them outlier sales at this point, until we can get some duplication in the market Wasnt there a plod tec27 9.2 that sold recently in the 150K range. To which extend can that be considered a duplication? I sold that copy in feb. Good sale, but not a trimmed copy. Macintosh to gala.

There was a thread last year Wayne Tec started where I laid out why aa16 might not even be a top 10 book any more (thumbs u

Absolutely stunning! That could put a kid through college! For like a year

I sold 9 of them yesterday...crazy great statue!

+1000. Great time to grab a nice copy on the cheap. where?...I haven't seen a cheap copy of Marvel 1 in over a year...hence, why I don't have one right now

402 pages into this thread and now you tell us! hehe

all my info comes from talking to matt and susan...they are the experts, not me....

yep, not sure where the rust concern came from, but unlikely from any chemical cleaning... naturally, the chemicals strips the cellulose strands of dirt/impurities and weakens them, but when one considers that paper is made with the same type chemical process (pulp/paper is not naturally white, it is chemically bleached that way), it is really no more issue short or long term than the weakening from the initial production (susan C explained all to me some time ago).... I think there have been a couple of well-known books (don't ask me to remember which ones!) that have both had their pages lightened and had rusty staples. I think that's why some of us are leery of books with lightened pages. But perhaps we are being too cautious. they are not related... I recall the superman 1 issue, but that was a storage issue that caused the rate of rust migration to increase, not a pages having been cleaned issue... 2 are totally (and chemically) unrelated... moisture/oxygen in wrong environment caused the rust (thumbs u

I did just sell a 5.0 for 10k ... To be honest (and I told buyer this) I was going to price at 8995 at heroes but he offered me 10 to sell it now... So I obliged

Misquote or does he really believe it? Agree or disagree? Which one will go highest tonight? A1 or T27 ... the A1 should kill a 3 sided trimmed tec27... if both were equal grades,the A1 would still win (imo) Considered how the T27 in question actually fills out the inner well in a "normal" way, it must be micro-micro trim. its not noted as "cover" trimmed, but "edges"...that typically means interior book trimmed too... The C-cnect Action 1 (mod 7.0) was clearly the better book relative to the triple trimmed tec27 (mod 8.0). Yet they roughly hammered out at 140K and 170K, with "only" a 30K margin. What does that indicate to you as regards the reciprocal strength of the big two? Is action still a hair above when this sale is considered? The action closed about 50k higher than anticipated and the Tec about 40k higher. Both books are strong but action 1 is still king. Rick, the Action 1 CC 7.0 mod presents well, but the interior enlightened (depending how much was done) is somewhat a big factor? Regardless, those are strong prices for the BIG two. didn't bother me...interior lightening is just chemically cleaning the pages....it will still outlast us all (thumbs u Not worried that it can promote rusty staples? I've owned a lot of interior lightened comics and never had any staple issues... oxygen and water/moisture cause rust...

Yeah, they're variants. The body sculpt is the same, but each have different heads and the Gray has the shirt. I don't mind, as it gives the buyer options. At $550 each, I'm guessing there aren't going to be a ton of people getting all three. I'm guessing the Sentinel is going to be huge, and probably around a grand. Not getting it myself, but I'm looking forward to seeing it. there are a lot of stores that sell for a discount (like us ) but it still makes it tough to swallow the price tag... I ordered only the reg version for the store...

First time caller long time listener. Love the show. (thumbs u This is probably a stupid question, but are the shirt and pants made of cloth or are they the same material as the rest of the statue? They're cloth. "Premium Format" statues from Sideshow are polystone resin statues with mixed media elements added (like cloth clothing). The elements differ from one statue to the next. It's not a stupid question at all because the point of the mixed media is to make you ask that very question. The clothing is so well done on some pieces, that even standing a couple of feet away, it's sometimes hard to tell. On this statue, the orange shirt is a bonus that comes with the "exclusive", so it's removable: at 475+ shipping, I have only presold a few to my customers...

I try to keep a couple hundred statues and minis stocked in store at all times!

The action closed about 50k higher than anticipated and the Tec about 40k higher. Both books are strong but action 1 is still king. If one observes the price diff (between trimmed/untrimmed) in any "generic" sense, it is save to say that the Tec27 in question if UN-trimmed, would not only have surpassed the action1. It would probably have killed it pricewise. I would disagree. While obviously the trimming turns off some bidders, in this case it didn't turn off the two that mattered. Action 1 has outperformed Tec 27 in almost every instance. Nothing has happened to change that (IMO) I say this as someone that has bought and sold dozens of action 1s and Tec 27 over last few years. While neither is tough to sell, action 1 is easier, in more demand, sells faster and that is the market dictating I respectfully hear where youre comming from. But: doesnt trimmed vs. un-trimmed usually detract 50% from blue FMV? Thats also the market dictating. now trimmed vs universal, then likely at least a 50% drop and many times much more of a drop...I concur with you there (thumbs u but with restored, there is no set % that I am aware of...I have seen trimmed restored books sell for more than untrimmed restored in a rare occasion (such as this)... there are too many factors with restored copies to establish with any certainty, a %, etc......

Pretty much sums it up, with 28 as non bat cover exception. 38 trails 28 but ahead, in value to 30,32,34,36,37 Thanks G.A.tor I appreciate it (thumbs u (Thumbs u
