  1. From what I can see in the pic, that GR #1 looks pretty darn nice for a 7.5
  2. this book was posted earlier in this thread last year but I saved the image FantasticFour posted it and according to him, all the 9.6 and 9.8 are white pagers. I don't recall seeing a 9.0 to 9.4 in white pages in the past 2 years...at least not in any of the auctions or Ebay. As far as checking the rest, the only way i know is to use GPA and gets all the cert # and then check them one by one...too much hassle for me I WOW! That is an INSANE book! Thats FantasticFours book?!? It does seem that there is an inordinate amount of ow/w X1's but i cant remember ever seeing a white pages one. I really thought my 8.5 had a chance at white but it came back ow/w. I think on a resub, i would have close to a 50/50 shot at getting white. I could never do it though since theres WAY too high a chance it comes back a 8.0 the 2nd time around. No way imo i could ever get a 9.0 so the grade could only stay the same or go down. Not worth the risk for a PQ bump but seeing that list, it sure would be nice to have a 8.5w! The Xmen 1 PC W pages now resides in a 9.8 holder. You can see the book in Pedigree's Vault. Was slabbed as a 9.6 without the Pacific Coast designation. Schmell managed to convince CGC that this book and others not sold by Pacific Comic Exchange were also part of the Pacific Coast Collection. This book is now in a 9.8 holder?
  3. Glad you're happy with it. (thumbs u
  4. I've got a stack of books that didn't make the cut for my submissions this month. I'll post them sometime this weekend.
  5. Cool. So this will take place sometime between now and Dec. 31st??? I want July 19th at 8:06 PM EST in the pool
  6. I don't see how any bronze book is worth a 150k If I were going to drop a 150k on a book, I can think of a lot better places to put it. I wonder if the 150k list price wasn't to target a bid of 50%-70% (Clink caps bids at 50% of list). Sounds like 50k-65k would be about right for a 9.9. I think the person that bidded 80k, assuming it's legit, is out to lunch though
  7. Got my supplies! Super fast shipping! Very happy
  8. Incorrect. For books in the grade range of 6.0 and lower it will still get a blue label provided the staples are vintage and that is the only thing done. In grades higher than 6.0 it will receive a qualified grade. I had a MS 5 9.0 with a purble label with no other work done? Was it an old label? Replaced staples got plods before the green label existed. No other work, but it was an old label (thumbs u

  10. I'm out of the club I just sold my 6.0 on CLINK. Hope to pick-up a VF/NM or higher in March.
  11. I’ll preface my post with saying that I don’t think the probation list is the place for JJ. I kind of view the list as more of a who’s who of person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed bags to avoid, rather than a system to get deals done when money has not changed hands or where a promise of payment has been made and not executed (which cost the dealer money). With that disclaimer and having no horse in the race, I would be interested in the counter to the points that AlexH details. The post seems heartfelt and sincere. As such, I can’t comprehend why a friend/fellow boardie that deals in the hobby wouldn’t find a way to make this right after all the time? Is there something more to this story or is AlexH’s post really the way it went down?
  12. Can you please enlighten us as to what value you have brought to the boards? A couple of recent Architecht gems This Arch gem was in one of the supplied links...
  13. This one's an extra copy, but couldn't pass it up If I don't sell it, think this one's going in for a new grade.
  14. Have a handful of books to list in GA/SA/BA thread. May get to them tonight, if not will do so tomorrow (thumbs u
  15. Sharon is about as generous and sympathetic a person as you're going to find on the board. If you've lost her support, that speaks volumes. Sounds to me like you did take advantage of her good will. The best thing would have been to just offer up a public apology. Instead of trying to make counter arguments as to if you actually said that you would take the book “IF” whatever scenario took place. I personally don’t believe your version of the way things went down and I’m guessing anyone that’s dealt with Sharon does not believe it either. Seems to be a pattern of over committing to purchases. Things happen, I get that. Going forward, I hope you now plan for the unforeseen. That’s the responsible thing to do, not just for yourself, but for your family and all of those involved in your dealings.
