I think if you take the time and look at the large scans that I provide in the full descriptions (as opposed to looking at ebay's reduced scans on your phone) using a large Apple monitor, you will see that the books are accurately graded, certainly within .2 of anyone who knows how to grade. And, because of the size and quality of the scans, there are never any surprises. Please don't make me add testimonials here by the completely satisfied buyers. 

Here’s a closeup of the X-Men #210.

it’s a 9.6.

The catalogues alone are worth picking up....

That 

Agreed. The Promise Collection Catalogue is a work of art in itself.

For X-Men keys, buying in Jan 2021 was still fine for the SA keys, and for 94+, the end of Feb. 

or 1/3 or so of what you paid in February 2021 for a 94 if you bought it 2-3 years ago

The seller would be the one collecting sales tax, and it is up to the seller to file a sales tax form and send in payment.  I'm not sure I wan to do that as a casual seller. 

Also, no PGX allowed. Good thing.

I see a couple of references about getting suspended as a seller if you don't follow through with the sale.  Like the new move "I can't find the comic anymore, so I can't sell it to you anymore, sorry" because you as the seller think it should have been more.

So some boardies on here won’t be selling on that platform then, that’s for certain.

I completely agree with You.  Every X-Men key issue has literally doubled in price since the middle of April!

I mean this constructively, but honestly, shouldn’t have you secured this stuff 2-3 years ago?  The stuff I am buying now is an easy buy, because I’m not competing with anyone for it, which leaves more money to compete for stuff that is always on a want list. For example: Kraven stuff. You should already have the Zeck series secured, those are 4-figure books in a year.

That's awesome 🤩! 

I own (not 9.8) #1&#5 but always been captivated by the steranko covers early in this series, but so captivated that I'm only now realizing that says origin issue 😂

I really should pay more attention

Congrats!

Thank you.  I was looking for 1 and 4, and the 1 went for 4300 or so, but there are 50+ 9.8s I think of 1, so I just shot the longest arrow in my quiver at the 4. Couldnt be more pleased.  Thank you again for the comment!

Beautiful books

Byrne and, arguably, Miller were THE artists of the copper age, so maybe they really started it back in 77 or 79...

 

Seriously? Lee, Mcfarlane, Lefield, Silvestri, Portacio, Jae Lee. That’s about half of the true copper age guys that define the era. Pump the brakes on that Byrne and Miller stuff.

I’m with you guys - but CGC isn’t seeing it that way.

Actually, CGC is 100% seeing it that way.

I can’t imagine having to wait for an Internet video to tell me about that sale when it’s just about two weeks old and you’re just finding out.

Right and Winnipeg.. ...Bronze is included in pedigrees, no reason why it shouldn't be.

Along with Savannah, MSW 8 has a Savannah pedigree copy, and that’s a Copper book.

Beautiful books as always. Hope this thread is a long one.

No silly rabbit.  I understand a book going up in price.  It's the velocity that I'm pointing out...$6.9K to $8.0K in less than a few weeks.  If it was from $6.9K to $7.0K I would just pay "X" and not haggle with "Y".

 

***Trix are for kids

So because (insert variables here), the price of the book is going up, but you should be able to pay the price for the book you could have paid last week?  Or a price for the book you could have paid last month? 

Good plan, get that payment ready to send over to someone.

Honest question...isn't that fair?  Just a few weeks ago it sold for $6900.  Then you have to account for the fees on top of that.  All in all that sounds about right at a specific point in time in the past month.  Nobody knew that it would suddenly spike up to $8K.

 

***No, I'm not the person who made that offer

Of all of the "I dont want to pay X I want to pay Y" arguments, this is the most bizarre.

more from #23-integral part of the entire story (GREAT first appearance)  

Wow. For the Win. Well done @fett 

Oof x 10.

Former minor/second level keys = not cheap anymore.

Five figures by Memorial Day weekend? 13,500 by the Venom 2 trailer?

Yes, probably even more happy that he made it out just in time since the last sale on CL saw a further drop back down to the $47K price point.  

If you had a 9.6 or a 9.8, then you wouldn't be so obsessed with your micro-analysis of the market price points for it over a such a short timeframe.

But you and I both know that ship has sailed, hasn't it?

This is a first app key that I felt has been so undervalued this year. No spec sites talking about it 

That because its not a book named UF4 or whatever that Keanu Reeves comic book is called.

This book is just simply not for sale anywhere, and hasnt been for a long time.

oof.

I didnt realize so many boardies lived everyday of life in fear of their safety deposit box.  Look out, space junk from satellites that crapped out could fall on you...TODAY.
