I have the Okajima Jungle 54... and the code is... 4 29 44 Thanks! And I've got it noted as a 3J. Based on the distribution of the alphanumeric code it would appear she went to the PX multiple times a week sometimes...

Not that I've seen. Closest I can think of (and it's not a camp Okajima, but one from the later part of the Pedigree) is Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #32.

Branget, to me the big difference is not the seller audience, or the ease for running a sale, but the competition. I list a book on ebay, and unless someone is looking for that exact book, it's never going to sell. Just to much chaff surrounding it. Ebay has 44k plus listings that come up when you search for "CGC". If you are trying to sell a book the only way it gets noticed is if someone has a search for that exact book, or if you start the listing off at .99 and get enough "lets try to win it cheap" interest. Here a sales thread may be competing with at most another dozen active sales threads on a given day/night. And the ratio of eyes to buyers is higher here (fewer eyes, but a high percentage are buyers) than on ebay (with millions of eyes, but very few buyers). Sure there are a select group of people who comb all of ebay looking for under GPA deals, but the odds of getting eyes on your listing among the thousands of other comic listings is not as easy as listing here. Sure you get 800 views, but those views are far more likely to buy than the ebay views.

doing that exact move with a book of mine. unverified sig on the front, multiple verified sigs on the back (it has a big white space perfect for sigs). I'll get mid-grade yellow (since the front sig is a defect) but I dont care.

wouldnt it have just gotten a straight purple with a "stan lee written on cover" notation?

I'm sure the restoration outcome was a bummer, I think the double sig wouldnt have been that bad if he hadn't partially signed over the first sig!

back off! (kidding) don't think there's one out there on the market right now...

sweet thanks for sharing. One of the earlier ones to be seen/shared so far. Plus it was bought by her on the same trip as Super Magician v3#1. Always like being able to see what was bought on one particular date.

thanks so much for sharing another camp book! Is that yours?

I am pretty proud of my Cardy Aquamans, but that one tops them all!! thanks SF!

This just in... One of a Kind SS Very understated Cardy signature in lower right corner. 1st App Black Manta, and one of my favorite Cardy Aquaman covers!

for completed sales yes. (even with some occasional shilling boosting final values) for listed book prices, no. Just way to many fishing listings (putting a book out there with a BIN price that is 2-3-10x market value) in hopes of getting someone to bite.

I'm confused, is there one on ebay for $12k? Looks like a G/VG sold for $21 there. A paird CGCed 37 & 40 sold for $121 so thats like $60 each...

Betty & Veronica #40 should be on that list

Just Archie. or all Archie family? (Pep, B&V, etc)

9.2 to 7.5 slide? Bad press damage? What happened? bad press that split spine a bit [font:Times New Roman]Nope. I've never owned that book, but I was offered it. I'll PM you & Jimbo with the details. Trust me, the damage wasn't due to mishandling or a bad crack & press job.[/font] ok now Im suuuuuuuper intrigued.

well just cause he found them for a steal doesnt mean he has to sell them for one... Im just waiting for him to say something like "dropped my price to $200, which is what I have in them" or something like that... and everyone goes... With that profit margin, he could at least offer free shipping. Offer him $1 a book and end with.. "Hey you are quadrupling your investment!"

I assumed this was the case (the bolded). Anyone in the market for a 5 figure book has an idea of what s/he wants to pay for the book in a variety of grades. And with few sales, and very little ever hitting the market you strike when you get the chance. I doubt the GPA info actually factored into the sale, it was just a 5 figure example of selective data mining to fit price justification (at least that's how it was presented).

on the PIF inclusion in HOS/PL. Since the HOS/PL was created for the marketplace, and the marketplace includes the facilitation of straight trades, trades would fall under the HOS/PL guidelines? I'm just trying to see what sort of precedence is already in place for the use of the HOS/PL for non-monetary transactions/occurrences. If someone posted a WTT thread in the marketplace, and it was consummated with some sort of "deal!" then if either parties fail to meet the marketplace guidelines they could be nominated for the PL yes? So the main thing is we are talking about applying the marketplace rules (and consequences) to transactions/exchanges/occurrences that have an "agreement" basis that occur outside of the marketplace. This would include: Secret Santa, Pay it Forward, or anything else that has an agreement that occurred here on the boards. Does this mean failure to complete a "kick to the balls" transaction could land someone on the PL? (joking)

*sigh* just watched another sale use partial GPA info to justify their price while leaving out GPA info that doesnt support it. Scenario was (and Im making all the numbers up here, but they are fair parallels): Selling Shadow 1 in CGC 7.0 for $9000 seller provides the following info: Recent sale of a 6.5 here on the boards for $8k Recent sale of a 5.5 in GPA for $8k sounds like a deal, and maybe it is... but the seller fails to mention that in 2012 an 8.0 sold for $4500, and an 8.5 sold for $9k *sigh* I do temper my sighs with the fact that the buyer can have access to all this information if they have GPA or spend some time researching, but just the 1/2 truth of sales data and picking and choosing your sales data, especially when there are only 5-6 points of data for the book anyway. And there's some cutoff point for sure, listing sales data from 2009 is not useful, but when your line in the sand excludes value depressing info, while leaving value inflating info it looks a little Am I overreacting? (probably)

One just popped up in the marketplace. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6966374

this just in... sf is in support of "junk swapping" or whatever the kids are calling it these days...
