Ghost Town

We're all even on the books. He sent my 3 grand back with a nice email. We're shooting for 1200 to 1500 dependent on his pal selling it. We're all letting the air clear and then renegotiate the deal. I want the book, the seller does not want a neg (4500+ 100% positive), and the owner wants $$$. Any progress with the deal for the #121?

Sweet book, Harry. And welcome back!

I think it's still a decent price realized for the book. It seems like more than a few 9.4s (and one 9.6) have changed hands in the last three years. And that has to limit the potential buyers pool for the book. Also, Bob Storms has two 9.4s currently listed on his website. I suspect prices will creep back up after all these 9.4s get absorbed into collections. Although that might take some time.

Here's Tom's spreadsheet with a little technical support. Has anyone ever seen the 9.0 FF #1?

Wow. What a great book.

I hope you used PayPal with a credit card. With the alarm bells this guy is setting off, any extra protection you could get is a good thing.

If the book is on commission, it's weird that his listing reads: I hope you get the book. It sounds like you really want it. But the seller doesn't sound like a straight shooter. The guy should just accept $1595 and be grateful for your understanding.

I have a few Curator books, but this is easily my favorite:

The ASM #5 was graded in 2009. It's the same book that John Verzyl sold a couple years ago in a ComicLink auction (for $97,000).

Great books, Joe. As you know, that COTL #15 is really tough in HG. And the WMD #13 is no picnic either.

Both. The Westerns are all recent purchases. The others were from rooting around my boxes.

Thanks, Mike. It's an old scanner that's popular around here (Microtek i800) with scanning software from a different company (VueScan). But I messed around with the software settings until I found a decent recipe. Still not perfect, but way better than my old scans.

As always, great books, Greg. Can I borrow your time machine someday?

This thread made me risk life and limb to climb to my Wolverine box on a very high shelf. The results made me regret getting on that ladder:

Wow. Just wow. And, uh, wow.

The bigger scans really show how much Gil Kane utilized the format. It was kind of like 3D without paying the extra $4.00 for the crappy glasses.

Fresh from Sarasota:

All killer books, kaylab. Even with the thumb bend, the 79 is beautiful.

Sweet book. Those Suscha FFs got some healthy prices in the CC auction.
