G.A.tor

Let's see a scan I think GAtor means he turned down an offer of $55K because he had already sold it for that, and it would take $60K to buy it back (or another one of similar eye appeal in grade). -J. I understood that. My post was to solicit a scan from him in case I am willing to pay his price Maybe I'm the one misunderstanding? Didn't GAtor state that he no longer has that book/already sold? -J. I sold book this summer for 55K on time payments...I still "own" book till it is paid off (will be next year ) owner says he would sell for a 10% profit, hence it would take 60K (or so) to purchase it (thumbs u Gotcha. So it is technically available, via the new owner who is trying to flip it even though he is not actually the owner nor in possession of it. Man I love this business. -J. that sums it up

Let's see a scan Don't have scan but am inventorying books so have it at home.

60K for a lowgrade funny book (which isnt even the 1st app.) = A tough market to enter. It takes deep pockets to play in the deep end of the pool these days ... With a little luck they'll come down ... ....and for not a particularly rare one. At least not by GA standards. -J. AF 15 is even less rare (by a wide margin) but still commands big dollars. Demand always outstrips supply with those two books and this man knows his bat 1!!!!!

Ive turned down 55K for my 3.5 bat 1, mainly because I already sold it for 55K would take 60K to buy it now

yeah, but it only has white pages. that ruins if for me. way to go, jimmy!

You have never been accused of being a knocker

my guess is Chicago books sell at the "most" premium of any pedigree these days

Might be worthy (the Reilly history) of taking to its own thread for all to see

Talking about your entries in the book of the year contest, again?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

True dat, ...now Haunt of Fear #14, that is a key... Um...no....err...maybe ...nah

extrapolate....good word indubitably

Honestly? Yeah. Maybe used it once or twice to much

Some pedigrees warrant a premium. Honestly some do not. There is no rule and honestly overstreet is rarely an accurate value. I generally look at past/actual sales and extrapolate from there

that's pretty

Cs22 is a high demand book but no key

I don't recall ever seeing. (Thumbs u

Only cause I am a huge GL fan Last and only sale (reported to GPA) in the last 5 years for an 8.5 #4 is $374 in May 2013. I would have said retail was Likely 400 so I'm in the ball pArk

hey steve unfortunately I do not have gpa, so I can't be of any help, but I am sure a friendly elf like boardie will come to your rescue .... that said, merry Christmas!

suspense 3 is a key?! suspense 3 is in no way a key

indeed...suspense 3 is really not a tough book...I remember just 2 years ago, about 4 copies sitting unsold on various sites...even the cgc 6.5 at 15K on comic connect (verzyl eventually scooped it up)

I've owned or. had opp to own a dozen Tec 28s. Nothing "tough" or rare about that to me (again it is relative... For some Tec 28 might be an unattainable white whale and I respect that) Things have a way a cycling. Aman 26 was "impossible" to find for years. 4-5 copies surfaced in the past couple of years. Not sure these Days anything is unobtAinable. Rare/tough is all relative to patience and money. There are certainly different levels of difficulty with various comics for different folks, but in the grand scheme really only takes time/patience and money (always an exception of course, but generally speaking) Right now I am finding it tough to obtain an amf2/1 but eventually I will (thumbs u

Whole lotta eldon going on
