Yeah greggy, I like Romance books too! I like Romita's cover work in "My Love Story".

 

And yes, I didn't know those issues were "popular" until you gave up da info some threads ago. Still nice books, though. Not raining on my parade....

 

It's the pot calling the kettle black....

HOLY CARP STERLING!!!!!! Thats a serious pile of books! A ghosts 40 in 9.6 is like capturing bigfoot! not to mention som eof those 9.6/9.8 homs CRIPES!

 

Ahh..Ghosts #40. Interesting story. The book had a BIN of $199. redf1shing, instead of using BIN, bids $201.50 on the book. I snipe it at the last second.

OK, done with inventory. Now researching prices etc. DO NOT MAIL/PM ME IN REGARDS TO OFFERS AT THIS TIME. I'm doing this as a courtesy and to give you a heads up. More info on where/when they will be liquidated upcoming.

 

I have another 120+ at CGC, with 150+ "out the door" in progress to CGC. I will probably use the next two weeks to sell some midgrade GOLDEN AGE books/BRONZE books. More info forthcoming. My son typed this in so I'm sure there's some typos in there somewhere.

I need to look into that title-someday.

Just looked it up---$555. Never mind.... why the scowl?!?

 

 

Well, that explains the incremental jump...

 

Yes, which is why I now happily sell to UK...

 

I did have a SWEET ASM 45 get lost on the way to Australia...actually didn't even make it to the border...damn USPS is totally clueless. Won't use them again for international shipments. If I see that CGC number show up, I'm gonna get Soprano on somebody!

 

So, did redf1shing just pay almost $2k each for those HOM books!?!

($1,811)

Jayman, I picked up Stalker #1 and Beowulf #2 a while back. Yet one of many bronze fatalaties...I am not a super fan of Ditko but the art in that issue is great!

Amazing 100 pagers greggy

 

I have 9.6s of both but don't have them on hand or have scans of them. However, the 9.6 of the Unexpected isn't the prettiest!

 

Thanks for reminding me....

 

BTW, what's the exchange rate dollars for pounds? Doublechecking my vault invoice...

 

BassGMan, thanks for the kind words. I'm working overtime to see what I can do to help out the family with minimal fuss.

 

Oops, did I just miss the last hockey final tonight?!?

OK, Shiver celebrated his 2000th post here, so will I

 

I'd like to thank everyone on these boards in sharing their knowledge in my brief six months while I've been here. This board has made this hobby more fun for me as I can share with my collecting peers, and it has allowed me to amass information that would've taken much longer using traditional (trial and error) methods.

 

OK, let's forget about this tragedy, let's post some good bronze stuff!

 

If/when I do sell, I will post all of my DC bronze books in tribute...it is breathtaking to see them all in one place...

they are just books! And they printed lots of them! you'll rebuild

 

Maybe when I rebuild all of these books will be "common" in high grade, as everyone has now sent all of their high grade horror to CGC because of recent realized prices....

Thanks, gang. Good idea about using the con for shopping around. Hey, they're just books, right?

OT post, sent you a PM

-Sterling

I thought that you were going to only sell the other stuff...not your core collection!

 

Well, I'm crunching the numbers, and the situation changed. My high grade spideys are running out (stuff I will happily part with), so it looks like I'm gonna have to cut where it hurts... the situation may change but that's my current reality check.

 

If I have to start over, c'est la vie. But there's blood sweat and tears in many of the books I've acquired. I can recall an interesting "acquisition" story for most of them...

 

 

...and the depression settles in....

I have around 300 CGC books, with 120 coming back. And 2k or so raw issues, about 100 more CGC worthy. Guestimate. I'm doing window shopping with dealers/investors to buy it outright---anyone worthy to call?

Maybe Metro? I know they got the funds to make it happen. Offering them up here first might make you more money on an individual basis but if you're looking to unload 'em all in one fell swoop I say go Metro.

 

Yep, I'll call the BSDs first--the ones who appreciate the genre and age are my first bets...you are correct that it is a balance between speed of the liquidation and the price realized. Just want to explore all of my options first...

it boils down to 1. priorities for my family and 2. the need to help out my mum. Trust me, they ain't going cheap, but I'm hoping a fair price. I mean, if I turn down a HOM 224 CGC 9.4, something's wrong

 

I really wanted to complete my high grade set from 174-229. So close, so close...Anyone want to "rent" my collection

I have around 300 CGC books, with 120 coming back (so ~430). And 2k or so raw issues, about 150 more CGC worthy to be sent. Guestimate. I'm doing window shopping with dealers/investors to buy it outright---anyone worthy to call?

redf1shing doesn't usually pay "nuts" for Ghosts, although he did recently overbid my $70 bid for NM/MT (ie 9.4) on nickkat's recent books.

 

Actually, I've decided to sell my collection, so who knows...maybe I can just sell him all of my "highest census" HOM and other issues so these prices can return to normalcy. (although I see a few others willing to step up to the plate).

 

Oh, but you're talking about me, huh

Your whole collection? You serious?

 

It sickens me, but (gulp) yes.

My two Ghosts 9.4 are just fine... (although I realized one of them was encased in a "regular" slab)...

 

redf1shing doesn't usually pay cwazy dollars for Ghosts, although he did recently overbid my $70 bid for NM/MT (ie 9.4) on nickkat's recent books.

 

Actually, I've decided to sell my collection, so who knows...maybe I can just sell him all of my "highest census" HOM and other issues so these prices can return to normalcy. (although I see a few others willing to step up to the plate). Gotta hurry before the infamous crash...where's JC?

 

Oh, but you're talking about me, huh

That book looks very nice...

 

Somehow though I don't think it won't go for $1g...I may be proved wrong...

Sterling.....are you going to post these on eBay? And where is the sweet HOM #205 for me?

 

Jim

 

There's a 205 at CGC now

Jim,

 

I don't want to touch my bronze HOM/HOS. I will be selling off Weird War Tales, Golden Age House of Mystery / House of Secrets, and lots of surprises as I uncover them. Some of my "almost made it" grades of HOM may be in there (like the Dollar Comics, 100 pagers, etc). I've stayed up all freakin night trying to get things organized. Kinda a bummer as I have to get on a plane Sunday morning. Not much time... must hurry....scan....arghh....gasp...The bulk of the auctions will clean out my Spideys--if they meet reserve. Otherwise, off to CL they go.

And of course, the infamous 185 that now seems like a good deal compared to redf1shing's 182 and 184 acquisitions at the vault...

 

HOM 185
