  1. 1/2-3/4 inch so it's really 1/4--1/2 inch. um, yeah...
  2. Glad you finally got it! He was one happy Geek in Chicago. So happy, I think he bought a second copy. Yes, gator was in high spirits after that pick-up, but I think it was the impromptu serenade at Maria's that made his weekend. not as scary as pons singing in the shower
  3. Is that the copy I "helped" you win by not telling the world and his wife it was on Ebay? Looks very pretty in the case - good move! Unfortunately that eBay copy is my under copy (1.5/1.8) This copy was a more recent purchase (thumbs u
  4. here is a great book! happy to have this one in the ole box
  5. figured while I was at it, I would grade the nicer of my 2 copies of aman 26...
  6. here is a really great pick up from a few months ago... I only graded it because I was curious how CGC would grade an otherwise nm book, with a small spine split
  7. I have my sigs turned off (too annoying), but I turned them on to see Jack's "retire happy" statement... no tease at all, had no idea (thumbs u
  8. my favorite centaur pick up in Chicago!
  9. Managed to pick up some cool Centaurs in Chicago. Appropriately pedigreed Windy City copy of wham 1 (coming home ) Got a funny pages 2 Funny pages 40 (excited about this one) Amazing man 25 I also on site graded my amf 4 ...small spine split kept it at 7.5 but looks vf/nm And lastly got the better of two Amazing man 26s graded... 3.0!
  10. Would you disclose the grade and price received for the TTA 27? I'm thinking about one. It was a cgc 4.5. Price was "aggressive"
  11. I have them priced significantly below some current askings but of course, based on my sales a d costs, my asking prices are aggressive. In sd 2 weeks ago bb28 was first book I sold. Now , today of course, might be diff. And these were all collectors, mind you. No fellow dealers
  12. I had like 5 copies of bb28 at show today ranging from 3.5 to 7.5 and not one person looked at or inquired about any.... Sold tta27 and st110 and hulk 181 and xmen 1 and a sc4 etc but not a bite. Multiple folks looked at flash 105 and one of my sc4 s sold at full asking no discount even requested !
  13. I recently re complete my ww ga collection (1-80) It is tough to keep complete because folks keep trying (sometimes successfully) to pry issues from the run
  14. I find 38-40 degrees to be quite wonderful
  15. Listening to Espn and buster only , my guess is it will fall under the ped clause and be a 50 gamer Arod says he will play again
  16. showcase 4 has exploded in price lately. It is the more significant of the two. That said flash 105 is cheap right now. So for value , flash 105 is a good buy right now. For significance , showcase 4 is "the" sa dc book to own Thanks G.A.tor. It also feels like showcase 8 is picking up steam, but I could be wrong. Overall, I guess I will focus my attention on picking up a showcase 4. I had about a dozen copies of sc4 last year this time. I only have 4 left and that's b. c. I kept raising price to slow down sales ( every copy I sold would cost me more today to replace than I sold them for). Only sold one of my 3 flash 105s and haven't adjusted price at all. Also only have the one sc8 since last year (Chicago will be first show I offer it at) Great insight as always G.A.tor. I wish a had the cash on hand to pick-up one of your Showcase 4s. But isn't he advising that you buy a Flash 105? After re-reading the post, I guess the better move would be to pick-up the 105 now while the prices are stagnant. Thanks for the catch Sqeggs. For me at least 105 has not moved price wise so if one feels it will better to buy before prices move up
