Great report!… Kind of off topic, does anyone know if Harley has a personal collection or does every comic that comes through his hands have a price?

They don’t have to reveal any tactics to say, hey, we are looking in to this and this is what we are gonna do in the meantime…it doesn’t reveal anything…the silence speaks volumes…

I don’t care if CGC is closed till May, the non-response boggles my mind…something as simple as we are looking in to the issue and halting re-subs and re-holders for the time being…unconscionable…

Nice results

I won two books and payed for them at the same time…do they normally send them separately?…I received one today and the invoice shows just that one book…haven’t gotten the fedex tracking for the other…

Or it could be an entirely different book…

Traveled to Dallas for a wedding in 1985, I was 16…picked this up at Lone Star Comics for $32, now it’s My Comic Shop…they had it marked as fn+…

Probably need to combine your sales threads.

You need to combine your threads…unless something has changed around here…

I’ll take FF 48 per PM…

You have your IM 152 listed as 9.8…

Beware: Fake high value CGC books being sold in the Spokane, WA, area. Saw this on Facebook. An experienced comic dealer of 40 years was sold a fake CGC Hulk #1 and Captain America #1 and didn't discover it until he had the slabs cracked. Once he put the information out there a fellow dealer discovered that the GSX1 and Hulk 181 he bought from the same guy were also fake. Here's the link to his Facebook post. It's (currently) in two parts. I imagine part 3 might be coming shortly. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02b7fNDNomBXzbnXYpLss8NMf5Up4PSjMgxbWK3pvGBmRj769DFMJPcL2JCbrAFnq8l&id=100048098476162&mibextid=Nif5oz&_rdr

Good for you Mike…I went from 7 long boxes down to 5 graded comics over the last 2 years…I thought I would have sellers remorse, but don’t at all…sold them all to 3 different buyers…I started collecting in 1980…

Can you explain why you think this about the dead giveaway for being pressed?…I’ve don’t recall ever reading anything about this phenomena…genuinely curious…

I have never used CCS…but I have used CFP and I know he, Joeypost, does awesome work at a competitive price…highly recommended…

I did the same thing in the last year or so…I’m actually down to 5 slabs from 3500 books…thought I would have seller’s remorse, but surprisingly do not…

If you are hoping for a 9.8 on either, you are setting yourself up for disappointment even without seeing pics ...I guess anything is possible, but I'm guessing there has to be defects you aren't seeing...maybe inside the books...

Don’t know about recent turn around times, but have have always been very pleased with CFP/Joeypost…very good with any Q&A you may have also…

Long time lurker, I see…technically, they are safe as long as they are sitting in a box somewhere not moving or being mailed…I would call them again and ask for a manager…I haven’t seen any recent books that noticeably move around…I would think persistence will pay off eventually…

I would gladly have pitched in 5K with 20 to 30 others just to own a piece of one of these keys…in 10 years you may net a 200% ROI…we should have organized it and passed it around every quarter or so…

May be a bindery chip...they certainly weren’t gonna dock that on this collection...your cover looks structurally better, but the 9.6 is more aligned...personally I like your old copy better, at least on initial appearance...

I get where you are coming from, but the value is what it is…I understand rarity, provenance and historical relevance, which PL17 has in spades…everything is worth what someone will pay for it…both MS5 and GSX1 are in higher demand in 9.8, I don’t care how many copies there are…There are no Phantom Lady movies, toys or comics to bring in new interests…yes GSX1 grow on trees, but at market value the demand outweighs the supply…I was born in 1968 and have always been a Bronze fan, but I would take a that PL17 over a MS5 9.6 any day, but not over a 9.8…on a side note, I enjoy browsing the Gold sub more than than any other due to the knowledge you guys have and I’m looking forward to see the hammer prices of this collection!

The value of IH 181 is simply supply and demand...they are very liquid and in demand, more so than the Batman’s you mentioned...if you have 3M of something and 4M people want them, it drives prices higher...economics 101...like anything else, it’s value is what someone is willing to pay for it...
