Anyone have any luck with any of Jon Berk's bound Planet volumes?  They had every issue up to 60 across 5 volumes.  I tried for a few but they didn't go cheap.  Vol. 1, issues 1-12, did $16,000.  Vol. 2, issues 13-24, did $13,800.  Vol. 3, issues 25-36, did $3800.  Vol. 4, issues 37-48, did $2,300.  Vol. 5, issues 49-60, did $3,500.  They looked pretty heavily trimmed so I think that held down the later volumes.  Still, pretty cool items.

any idea what the (R) CGC grade might be for most of the books? At the prices you note, I'm guessing 9.0ish(?)

They look like an interesting (at least cheaper) alternative to the oft-discussed safe. If some are both Fire and Water -proof, I guess the question is assuming books inside cannot  breathe, would you have the same problems as the safe?

I didn't bid on or follow any GA Superhero, but I was blown out of the water on all of my 20 GA bids. And these were simply "I'd like to own that" not "gotta have it."

How did SA and BA fare?

Artificial scarcity.  MANY copies of that book are being hoarded by a prominent collector. If all those copies came to market, that book would not trade for as much as it is. And that's an increasing risk for the buyer since you never know what the hoarder is going to let loose the dogs.

Curious to know how many MANY is, and who is this genius hoarder?

I’ve bought and sold on Clink.  A lot. 
been mostly buying last 2 years. Most buys are auction wins.

I pay what the winning bid is. 
I pay with check to avoid the 3% “buyer’s premium” which is essentially a CC surcharge.

i frequently have Spencer hold books until I accumulate 8-10 books. They end up charging me an amount for shipping where I’m sure they’re not making money on shipping. Just email Spencer to hold books and also note it in your mailing with check. I’ve had nothing but great service for as long as I can remember.

So IMO it can’t be much simpler and cheaper. 

As for clunky website, yeah it could be better and I don’t get the vitriol; it’s not that bad I think some folks (esp techies) are simply annoyed at Clink’s indifference to what they perceive as an easy upgrade. 
 

No idea how Canada complicates shipping.

The days of collections or even a few old books walking in the front door of a comic shop are pretty much over.

I agree that it is increasingly harder to buy collections cheaply, due to the stiff competition and multiple venues of sale. However, I'd be curious to hear from owners of brick and mortar stores of various sizes how frequently they are offered collections, and for what % of resale. I don't know but it seems that having a store still gives you the best opportunity to buy books at a cost that is not too close to FMV.  

How has this con been for dealers/attendees in the past? Is it more comics selling/buying, or exhibitors/cosplay?

Will the site be providing a list of comic dealers attending?

All yours Ray, many thanks indeed 

cool books Robert. tx

Take Jungle Adv and Heart Throbs

Daredevil #3 just climbed towards the top of my want list. 

Most of the HG Planets (but not the Promise #36) that just concluded on CL auction were submitted by same person. Hammer prices seemed decent. Just curious if it was a boardie(?)

How was this show 

It was quite good. Good attendance. Every dealer I spoke to said they did well, most very well. 

From a business standpoint, not worth the time or even the money to board such books. If you move them around a lot you’ll get some damage over time. Many I’ve had for 35 years are fine, but several also have some light creasing or spine ticks from mostly bending in the box. If you’re careful, they should be fine. 

if you have time and you like the books for your collection, go ahead and board.
