Sure you have! Post the links please! Or not!

Prove that you are right; you are the one that comes into this thread pounding your trashcan. Do the work and the math, you win the thread and can go back to wherever you hang on on here. I'm waiting.

You are completely right except for the sales data part of it.

Says the guy the uses Key Collector?

The Terapeak seach engine now free, way better than Watchcount: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Announcements/Terapeak-Product-Research-is-now-free-to-all-sellers/ba-p/31797231?fbclid=IwAR3zVvm534waB6cEL3ABjDCLfYalIvsn3lzKS6EGIOTZgCif_uZoXkMeBHU The GSX 1 9.6 (white pages) that went off last night was for a $28,250.00 best offer.

I'm not a shill bidding conspiracy theorist on the regular, but it looks like there may have been some shilling bidding around the 2100 dollar bids, up to the 3400 dollar bids, though in the end, the winner and the runners up appear to be organic bidders. But regardless, that book does come close to a 9.0, under any circumstances. The thing about 94, and how in the end it might be a tougher grade than a GSX 1, is that cover, properly colored, is unforgiving in terms of spine breaks, ticks, and wear. The squarebound nature of the binding of the GSX 1 saved alot of those imperfections that you can't skate by with the 94 (this doesnt take into the horribly pressed GSX 1s which some person_without_enough_empathy made into a regular bound book).

Would someone care to PM when this thread goes back to being even remotely on point with content that corresponds with the thread title? tia. And jfc.

I'm pretty sure the hole just gets deeper the more you try to dig out of it, friend.

Is this where everyone else quit reading this post as well?

MSC Ghost Rider 1 9.4 with white pages = $2650.00, ended last night.

Your GSX 1 9.2 (ow-o) is now a five-figure book, enjoy. https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/superhero/giant-size-x-men-1-marvel-1975-cgc-nm-92-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122115-13304.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116

I have to come clean then. I don’t hunt, I fish once a year, but it’s more like just being outside and drinking with friends while wearing waders than fishing. I own no boat. And I have literally one cousin. So here we are, a couple of frauds.

Well then we are...probably related. And when I say “probably” I mean 100% absolutely. Let me ask you this, how many trout did you catch back in March?

Unless “comics” means guns, four-wheelers, more guns, condos in Myrtle Beach, a 100,000 truck where you finance the insurance, and tax, tag, and title, and some guns, it’s not them.

It’s interesting you being up that con. The best part about that con was the buying opportunities, but it is also (for the better) at the end of the con season, which I think is why you could get breaks on books left and right: it’s either sell it at price X, or hold onto it for the winter. My plan is just to review the booth list before I go. Sure, the same core of dealers will be there, but they are always overpriced. If the “guys between the lines” that I buy from by the short box aren’t there, then it’s more than likely what you are fearing it will be, just a bunch of guys standing in front of their overpriced plastic.

This. Easy, easy play here. Sell. Don’t look back. Instead of selling that ASM 300 9.8 for 5K and being afraid it will be 7K this summer, sell it for 5000 now and remember you paid 650 for it 4 years ago. Flip that 5K and some other sales into a book you dreamed about owning 10 years ago.

Old Label?

wtf.

What value are you assigning to a ASM 300 9.8 (direct and/or newsstand) in this deal?

And plenty of spine ticks on the back cover, though I would think some would press out, but still.

Well done. Out of curiosity, PQ?

Can either of you point out anywhere I wrote about any GXM 1 being 70,000? The thread I quoted mentioned a 7,000 amount, but please point out what either of you are using to attach me to a 70,000 amount. Otherwise, reading comprehension. But thanks to both of you for making my suggestion as to how to interpret this thread post by post absolutely, 100% true.

Aside from your personal opinion, given the data = Very. The interesting theme to me in each of these posts in this thread, the Bronze Books Heating Up Thread, etc. is really a matter of perception of reality. The perception is these books that are selling for 3 or 4 times what they were last year are "not rare," which somehow sets up a barrier to continued purchases and higher sales. The sales data has proven this is just not true. And lets not kid ourselves and own up to this: if you are cheering for these books to keep going up and are bullish that they will, its because you already have what you want, in the grade that you want. If you are bearish on these books and the "crash is near" and no way could demand be this strong or stay this way, its because you don't have these books. And to all the "I dont care or have a skin in the game" folks: fine, but if your not in this particular situation, you are in it on another book somewhere. Not a slight to anyone, we are all on here because we love this "stuff" and remember, there is another message board out there full of passionate toy train collectors arguing about the exact same issue.
