Gotham Kid

Thanks Roy.

Spain huh ? Maybe I should arrange a "purchase" and smack him over the head with his mess.

There's got to be someone local who can message him and ask to see it in person. the response to that request would be priceless!

 

Done and done (and I really do live pretty close to him).

 

 

Let's see what he says!

Love to meet up with you but I'm busy looking into another storage locker where I hope to find an Action 1...

I found this is a storage locker in RI this week. I also have a few more I found, But it seems this one is the most valuable of them and the only one in a plastic case. Im not sure about this item other then its value and its got a CGC label and its a 7.5 condition and it has all the pages. I was told to mention the pages are white. I dont know if that means anything...Ill be away the first day of the auction so please be patient if you have a question!!

 

love this part...

close-up shots should be up after the auction or by the time he finishes "editing" them

Wow. And wow.

Thank you for posting this Bluetooth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

 

Save for one of the 9.8s (Boston), pretty sure most, if not all the 9.6s and 9.8s are File Copies

 

And if you look at the numbering on all 3 copies posted, they were sent in at the same time.

 

So does this make my other 9.6 I picked up last year that is not a File Copy more scarce and ultimately more valuable!

This just arrived yesterday and now I finally have a file copy of this book!

Silver Age Kirby cover and one of the few high grade copies that does not carry a CROW or lower page designation.

 

When I nab the Boston 9.8, you can have my 9.8 OW File Copy (thumbs u

 

 

You are the man PiP!

 

Are you sure Stewart won't mind it going to me when you upgrade?

 

I suppose we could arm wrestle for it or something...

Nah... he has bigger fish to catch. We can do it on the boards. My price, your price.

Man, I tell you - when I got booted a week ago, this place was one big happy family of comic book fans who were excited about The Avengers and girls in Iron Man bikinis.

 

Now, it's been taken over by ITG socially maladjusted weirdos who are into flat-chested Hutterite girls. What happened?

Full moon ?

Is that Cal who has taken over Balls account?

Quite ballsy of Cal I must say....

Cal who has balls.

just got this for a low price, very happy

Such a great book ! Congrats (thumbs u

My last "big" purchase for a "little" while

Awesomeness defined !!

Picked up a nice Avengers 1 cgc 7.5 - may be a keeper as the 9.0 is a bit expensive to hold

Great sig line roulette44 (thumbs u

Just curious if anyone has thoughts on how long a comic that's slabbed will last in the condition it was originally graded as?

 

Let's just assume you get a silver age comic graded 9.0 in 2012. You keep it in good storage with proper humidity and temp and light. Will it still be a 9.0 in 50 years? 75 years? 100 years?

 

In 2012, the comic might already be 50 years old, so in another 50 years it will be a 100 year old comic. Even slabbed, won't the paper start to break down?

 

This is a very 'fair' question. It is recommended that 'slabbed' comics be reholdered every seven years. Note the word 'recommended.' I do reholder a lot of my collectibles becuase I like having a 'nice, shiny' holder. I also have a 'touch of OCD.' That being said, keep in mind that CGC only started grading comics about ten years ago. Before that, all these great comics that we love so much were stored without the protection of a plastic slab; and judging by the census, many were taken care of and stood the test of time. As such, I don't think you have to worry about your beloved collection deteriorating any time soon; assuming you use common sense and store the items will proper care.

 

Kind Regards,

Super sweet Jason !!

But what you like and that you can afford.

Sound advice.

I tried to use logic and my cunning wiles to get him to sell a book to me for something approximating recent sales of similar books and I failed.

As I mentioned before, he picks up plenty from Pedigree's auctions to then list on ebay ( he did so with a book of mine). At first he will list with a BIN/Best Offer option but eventually puts the books to auction with no reserve (occasionally at a loss from what he paid for at Pedigree.

Not sure, but he buys tons of books from Pedigree to list them after on ebay

9.8 ?
