  1. That was the worst 8.5 of the several I have seen Also that sale has nothing to do with the pricing of lower grade copies...they have been moving up for months
  2. I agree But somehow i doubt that price was off the table you weren't at heroes early enough Friday morning I have a 6.5 ow that was purchased a month ago at 5995 and I never took the price sticker off. Well customer ran into some money issues and "returned" book (was a time payment purchase so book still with me. And yes I refunded his deposit...this time ) I put the book on wall and when the first person that picked up and looked at it I noticed the price sticker. I waited till he put back on shelf before I could remove. So price was available , albeit for only a short time. But I repriced at 6995 or maybe it was 7495, cant recall, but no one bought (at least not at heroes) If 6.0s are being priced at 8500-9000 then surely I need to bump up my 6.5 asking price $8500-9000 sticker prices do not mean $8500-9000 sales prices, or any sale at all! As you know, you can put any price on any book, but if you want to sell it, make it a good price! Just for kicks, I just looked up GPA sales on 6.0's & 6.5's... no sales reported above $4800, and most are below $3000! Of course we all know that. That said I have sold 5 copies of bb28 in cgc 6.5 over the past 2 months for 4995-6495, and I know of several other sales in that range. Just goes to show you why I don't subscribe to gpa (don't get me wrong gpa can be a useful tool sometimes but this book is a perfect example of its shortcomings) (thumbs u

  4. tec 37. In general I am a bigger fan of the pre robin stories and I think the cover is cooler!
  5. i don't but wouldn't it be fun to see
  6. Triston P.... Great books. When u use the photobucket link you don't need to manually add the img codes , they are already included by photobucket (thumbs u
  7. What do you have the Pep stored in? Saran Wrap? Marvel 1 is in my wheelhouse in that grade though crisco paper
  8. Pep 22 unrestored 2.0. Price is 29999 (cheap, right!) Marvel 1 unrestored gd-
  9. jeff...let me know next time you are going to Richard so you can swing by and pick me up
  10. Lower print runs and lessor quality paper used
  11. it is rare in high grade for sure...I have owned numerous 193s, but all lower to mid grade...most all 1950's dc's are "tough" in anything better than gd... but yes, it would be toughest relative to other joker covers, but a high grade copy will not affect price on lower copies imo
  12. saw them last night, yes...I only collect 40-80, but a couple would be nice upgrades, however, at those prices, I am going to refrain
  13. my feeling is it numbers in the thousands for sure Do you feel like you are seeing very many new people coming into the hobby or do you mainly deal with older, established customers? good mixture of old and new
  14. i own 8 pieces. All silver surfer Would love to see them. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=48&Number=5773845&Searchpage=1&Main=261818&Words=+G.A.tor&topic=0&Search=true#Post5773845
  15. Yikes! While I love to be part of small exclusive groups, surely there has to be more than a few thousand people who are willing to spend more than a $1,000 on a comic. G.A.tor, do you have a feel for how many people are willing to spend $1,000 on a comic? my feeling is it numbers in the thousands for sure
