Just posted this in new to my collection. Wait....this is my collection.

 

That book in itself is a wonderful collection!

As usual Cheetah, awesome books!

Received from a very nice Boardie...

 

That's a beauty!

Sweet copy Robio!!!! Congrats (thumbs u

 

Two new additions to the collection,

 

— Rick

Stunning books, Rick!

That really is a lovely copy.

 

thanks Hep. I've owned it for 30+ years and finally decided to slab it.

very cool cover. Lois is so dainty that she rides the broom side saddle.

Just back from CGC

damn on that Lois Lane, I thought my Toth copy was nice!

Silver,

I picked it up 30 years ago and it has been sitting in a mylar ever since. If only I had enough dough that day when the seller offered me 30 other comparably graded books. Lawn mowing money didn't go very far back then.

very nice Scott (thumbs u

 

just to think that the DD was born in the same year...I shudder every time I see a NM+ 66 book that is in better shape than me

Thanks Nick. My back feels like a 5.5 sometimes! I was 6 months old when Spidey was on that cover. God, I'm getting old.

Just received these 2 back from CGC.

In case anyone is wondering about the other books:

 

Bats 251 = 9.0 white pages

Bats 244 = 9.2 ow/white pages

Bats 237 = 9.2 white pages

Bats 234 = 9.2 ow/white pages

Bats 245 = 8.5 ow/white pages (this one better than the grade)

Bats 255 = 8.5 ow/white pages

Bats 243 = 8.5 ow/white pages (this one better than the grade)

'Tec 410 = 9.4 ow/white pages

OUTSTANDING Sarge! woohoooo!!! How the heck did you get the book that quickly?

Congrats supa!

Spectacular book, PeeWee, kudos to you. Make sure you take a pic of this gem and your AF15! (thumbs u

I won the Chili 9.6 Oakland copy...

That is a beautiful book, Peter. Congrats.

Greggy,

Did you win the Chili 1 Oakland copy?

Yeah, I considered that this might have been a 9.0 at one time. Being a sports card collector, any type of restoration is a big no-no for me. Then I thought, squished or not, it's a one good looking copy and whatever it was in a it's former life, it's a 9.4 now. It was actually the white pages that eventually sold me on it. This will stand proudly next to my 9.4 Bats 232.

It is a great looking book and congratulations!

teddie,

 

I thought it would go for at least 2K with the pedigree status and white pages. The one past sale on gpa for $845 was for a much bigger miswrap than the RM copy. So I was factoring the prior sale in the $1,400 range as a base price. Since it was a 9.0 and is now a 9.4, I'd agree, I see no chance of a 9.6.

 

your information is outdated at best, seriously flawed more likely. since the $1400 outlier in sept 09 there have been 9.4 sales of: $800 1/10, $801 9/10 and $845 11/10. there have been 9.6 sales of $2k 4/10, $1725 1/11 and $2k 1/11. so, the only way this price makes sense is if it can be further squished to a 9.6. anything's possible since it was a 9.0 not long ago.

Paperheart,

I gathered my info from GPA solely. On the 9.4, you are correct that the $1,400 was in 2009 and one lone sale reported in 2010 for $845. I know Comiclink sales are not reported on GPA, is that where you have the rest of your sales data from? There was also a 9.6 sale on Heritage on 2/24/11 for $2,390.00.

As far as making sense that is a matter of opinion. Pedigrees as you know normally command a premium, some moreso than others. I've seen many pedigrees command close to or the same price of the next grade up.

Please let me know where your additional 9.4 sales data is coming from. If the $800, $801 and $845 sales were all ow/w or white and centered, the buyers got great deals. If they were cr/ow or ow and miswraps, I can understand the lower figures.

 

This will look good next to my 227, lost the bid on the Detective 405, if it's a boardie post a pic, but did win the Tec 400 on Qualitycomix auction for alot lower than I thought!

Great book. Oakland is a killer pedigree. I bid on one Oakland book and lost miserably.

Ok, who nabbed the Rocky Mountain 9.4? I know it was someone in this thread. It went for much less than what I thought it would go for. Kudos to the buyer.

My wife is gonna kill me.

Nice buy. If your wife has to know, tell her you bought a white page pedigree! I'm sure she'll understand

In its raw glory:

 

Raw and beautiful!

Inexplicable. Am I jaded enough to think that the book was in the auction to "get fannies in the seats" with an out of touch reserve?
