I read his pm to you that you posted and that was insane....a grown man reacting that way is plain sad, regardless if it was a reply to a man or a woman.

I hope I have friends as forgiving as you Rick. Personally, I think his mixed up scans story was -and-bull.

 

To quote something a friend said to me once:

 

If I ever did anything like that, I would hope [my friends] had the common courtesy to bust me in the mouth and bring me back to reality.

 

funny, wish you could read our (frank and my) pm (thumbs u

I hope his PMs are more "normal"

than a bunch of ahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahah

often how one reacts on the face of embarrassment says a lot to me about the sincerity of the person....coming out swinging, calling names, insulting everyone else's intelligent are the worse reactions possible.

 

Just to be sure I understand this right, are you saying that the book you were selling is not the same as the scan you did provide, in other words that a buyer would have received a different book than the one pictured in the scan ?

I am waiting for the buyer to post a complain that he didn't receive the book in the scans and the book is actually worse than 8.5

hmm....I am confused, maybe the buyer is on Ebay and not on this board so we won't

or.....is the buyer at Wondercon and there is no eyewitness?

good god, there is more holes in this nonsense than the slice of swiss cheese I just ate with my sandwich.

On the one hand I don't want to lose some board members as friends and on the other hand I can't go against what my eyes are telling me is sitting in front of me.

 

 

 

It is too bad his "backers" aren't public so I know who to ignore going forward. Who in hell needs friends like these.

It is just sad and stupid.

I didn't expect the 'that's not the same book' argument

It clearly is the same book

 

+1

+2 but as the seller said...can't prove without a doubt

oh boy....this will be the thread to read for the rest of this week.

Wow is all I can say about the prices. And I thought I was gouging here locally asking for $2K for my 4.0.

well, the seller can ask $3k all day long and there won't even be an offer half that.

Major kudos to [font:Arial Black]etanick[/font] for a razor-sharp, perfectly aligned, CGC 9.8 copy of HTD #26.

 

Oh, and excellent packaging and fast delivery. (thumbs u

Where the hell do you find these gems? They are friggin awesome, no wonder you are thrilled.

the majority, if not all the high grade bronze raw ASM books came from one collector. I bought out his ASM run long ago...sadly, many of his SA books were Ct'ed and I bought them too before I knew anything about restorations. In hindsight, I am pretty sure he knew about the restorations on them but didn't disclose them....Heck, he might have done it himself!

Luckily the newer books that he had were in great condition. Eventhough I really didn't store them all that well and he didn't either...most of the books came back ow/w or w. with 9.2 to 9.8

here is the last one of that batch....I actually thought this book was trimmed so I sent it to Matt Nelson to check and he gave it a clean bill of health and it came back clean.

just in today...another batch of real nice ASM. There is one missing so I hope tomorrow I can call CGC to see if it is misplaced somewhere. I am trill at the results of all the ASM submission I got back in the past 3 weeks.

last but not least...my one and only double cover book...a book I bought of Ebay a decade ago and didn't realize it was a double cover until about 6 months ago...this one is a keeper

and of course, no submission would be sweet without my favorites

picked up a big batch from CGC this morning and here are some notable slabs

98 is a a rarety Ebay shocker that was bought as a 9.4 raw...one of the few times I didn't get screw on Ebay.

I finally got the batch of 9.8 pre-screen done and I will pick them up Wednesday at CGC. i sent a lot of books to 9.8 pre-screen and some for 9.6 and about 80% of the books made the cut so I will have a sale thread later this week for CGC 9.8 bronze.

Here are the titles that will be in them for those that are curious

Iron Man

Hulk

Avengers

Howard the Duck

Eternals

Black Panthers

Red Sonja

Invaders

Most of the books are from 1977 to 1979 time frame so hopefully it will be provide some nice books for a few people.

Over the next 2 months I will list other titles when I have a chance but here are a sample of what will be listed also

Conan

Thor

FF

Ms Marvel

Green Lantern/Green Arrow

Flash

Firestorm

Godzilla

Micronauts

etc...too many to mention but you get the idea...some mainstream titles and a lot of "B" titles but they will be priced to go.

Lastly I will have a separate thread for X-men and ASM, lot of high grade bronze from 9.4 to 9.8 next week.

wow, that is just bump

didn't even have to be an old label to get a PQ bump...oh the temptation to have my Mound books pressed and rejuvenated is strong...the dark side is strong

looks like Mound City X-men #6 8.5 have been maximized to 9.4 as well as PQ bump from Ow to ow/w

Looks like the one asking for $29k will sell.

 

Not sure

when the 50k asking price will sell though. Very nice gesture to include the back scan though

looks like the one asking $50k was yanked today...not one stinky offer at $25k or above.

this thread needs a bump

I have some free time so I dug out my SA Avengers readers and found a few decent books..enjoy (thumbs u

awesome books...someday they will be on sale and it will be a fun day to see what kind of crazy prices they will command.

ah...the Pacific Coast copy. I am not surprise th (shrug)ere.

 

There are two Pacific Coast X-Men #1 copies, the other one is a 9.8 white. Doug used to own both, but he upgraded the 9.6 to a 9.8 and sold the one pictured above. My memory is telling me this one was a 9.4 at some point, but I could be misremembering that.

sounds like anything that passed thru Doug was/is/will be maximized

ah...the Pacific Coast copy. I am not surprise there. (thumbs u

that Avengers #1 looks a hell nice for a 5.0

Thanks, the large Avengers # 4 is a colour recreation I commissioned. I sold 5 copies of Avengers # 4 last year which I also regret including my cgc 7.0 copy.

If you sold them last year, wouldn't it be cheaper now to buy similar raw books or slabs in similar grades cheaper? for high grade, the Avengers #4 has slid 30 to 40% off the high.
