that's right, we got hit in 2010, so that must have been when the whiz was taken...it was last year (2011) that the ring was caught), and 2012 was smooth sailing

Someone took a whiz. was a ring of thieves last year at NYCC So how much you quietly pay the thief? I believe the thieves were caught the following year, but the whiz was never recovered, to the best of my knowledge... they stole about 15K of comics from our booth that year too, one very unique book that I have never seen hit the market since

You and me both. I was actually negotiating with Matt on this book just a week or two before it was stolen. it was a cgc 3.0. I owned it for years. Bought it from Brent at quality and slabbed it. Had 6.0 eye appeal with tape on spine, hence the lower technical grade (thumbs u

yes, ciorac posted a picture of it on page one (thumbs u

I still consider that sale an "anomoly".... now, there was a legitimate underbidder...but I had a long discussion with this indvidual and they admitted to getting "caught up"...I asked him/her why if they were willing to pay/bid 175K for a 6.0, they wouldn't jump on an almost identical 5.5 at 40K less that is available in the market place, and that was their response (was no longer worth it to them, got carried away and was thankful they didn't win at that price)... what most forget or never knew, is (I believe Metro or someone else can confirm) that just a few months before this book went to auction, it was available at Metro's booth in SDCC for 45K and went unsold (I think that was the price, I remember looking at it and considering making an offer...might have even been 60K, but it was no where near the price it auctioned for) I see this 9.0 copy being worth north of 250K just on principle alone, and if you try to use the 6.0 sale as a benchmark, folks would say 500K...will be fun to watch...incredibly rare book unrestored, and obviously in nosebleed stature at that grade... kudos to metro for uncovering

wow

Very jealous! Sold the 7.5,5.5 and 4.5 at NYcc so down to just the 8.0. Time to buy more

Did they threaten to shove a big wad of bills in your pocket if you sold it to them? pretty much how it went down. Shiver, the thought still makes me queasy The ruthlessness of some collectors never ceases to amaze me I know, right!

I believe I still have a very nice copy of tec 69. Had an equally nice 71 but someone forced me to sell it to them

Our order was 1:1

Saga trade is already out. Got it yesterday , on sale today at comic book stores (thumbs u

I sold my last two first printing #1s for 2.99 less discount this past week. Glad I didn't get "stuck" with them

I just so happen to have a nice high grade copy for sale

fantastic...just curious...nice to own books for 70+ years... I have an 86 year old customer that has been buying comics since the mid/late 40's and still makes his monthly pilgrimage to my store to purchase the latest comics! He says he still has many comics from his childhood (thumbs u

marty,....are you grading these because you are planning to sell just curious (if you already posted reason, sorry, I missed)
