Were they for sale for $1 each, or is that the usual Craigslist ad junk?

Did you end up buying all of them?

Greg worked with me on price and shipped very quickly.

Back from the quick trip to WW Chicago:

 

nice!

 

Yeah, I'll have to say that's a sweet looking copy! (thumbs u

Thanks! And a big tip of the hat to Joey.

It looks even better next to her "second cousin twice removed"

Back from the quick trip to WW Chicago:

New additions c/o WW Chicago and joeypost (:thumbsup:).

 

Took a "shot" on Longshot and came up short.

 

Not sure what happened on the Hellblazers, but very happy with the last 2 slabs; makes all the rest worth it:

 

 

 

 

 

They had soft bottom corners and a few spine breaks. You have to look from the side.

Yeah, guess the bottoms were worse than I remember. More surprised with the range of grades on those versus the actual grades.

But, like I said, overall I am very pleased. Only complaint I have is that I missed the suit.

True not diggen that cover as well, this is Black Atom first return since his Golden age days.

Atom = Adam. :thumbsup:

I found a rough copy and sold it immediately; I thought people were nuts. I suppose the guesswork is finally coming true.

so what would one expect to pay for a complete set of Harleys first series, (2000) #1 thru #38? I have a collector friend who has 2 complete sets, and I'm thinking of buying one of her sets from her.

 

Harley (2000) 1-38

Yeah, $38.

Getting my copy graded right now at WW Chicago. Can't wait to see what I get.

Went to my LCS last night and found a few copies of #2A.

Since I went Thursday instead of Wednesday, I have no idea if there were copies of #2B or #3 that I missed.

Anyone have an extra #1B and #2B that wants to traide?

How do I find what a buyer is currently bidding on and what he's won recently?

 

I tried to search "by buyer" in the Advanced Search but all it's showing me is his feedback, his collections, his followers....everything except his bidding history - including the item he just won from me.

 

I have a potential problem bidder so that's why I'm asking.

I believe they turned off that functionality in one of the latest "upgrades".

If we're talking "standard" covers, it's #2 for me:

Yes they are off to CGC for an express grade

Don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I see your location is Chicagoland.

Were these found at a resale shop in the burbs or somewhere completely different?

Let's be honest here; this is probably how it will go:

• Shark will not get his book (at least not through Lockford)
• Lockford will go on the PL
• Lockford doesn't care b/c he won't sell here anymore - and never has*
• Another exclusive variant comes up
• Lockford links/offers it here b/c why not? Money is money
• A PL notice will be put in the thread
• People from the boards will buy it b/c they want it (and may have a discount)
• And the world turns
  

* Except for that one time he did.

I mostly collect Marvel 1st appearances and ASM, but I just HAD to have one of these in my collection

 

Very nice. Getting mine graded soon; love that cover.

Did the back bring it down? Looks like a 7.0+.

oops, i forgot to look under unsold listings, i just looked at sold and current

Wasn't commenting on your search skills, just still not sure what the 1st Batman Beyond is.

:shrug:

Here are 2 CGC copies - 1 of each cover - and neither says 1st anything. One doesn't say anything at all.

(nice eBay ID)

I also cannot find a CGC note on a Batman Beyond #1,

Finally (and thanks to some boardie help) able to complete my set:

Obligatory bed sheet shot!

If I can get it around to it this weekend, I'll put up my 18 hoard.

Yes he did

 

The auction ended early, but I dont think anything suspect is going on. The seller just commented that he wondered how high the price would have gone had it not ended early.

 

We're just all in a frenzy wondering where this sketch cover came from.... And if there are more,

Ahh, I get it now.

"Where it went" was in regards to where the price would have ended up, not where the actual listing went.

Then, very cool. :thumbsup:

Would be cooler if rh, who last I saw was active, would chime in on where it came from.

That auction ended early. Wonder where it would have went

 

Details, man!

Details!

 

haha

So he is the one that put up the auction, then ended it early, yet pops up here and wonders where it went?

Smelling fishy in here.

Wow, nice payout on a book with that severe a misalignment

Did you grade it at 7.5?

 

MCS gives the grade on the books they receive. They are very strict too.

Yeah MCS gives the grade, I had it as a 9.2 but I wasn't sure how CGC would hit the misalignment. It failed a 9.6 prescreen but I thought 7.5 was pretty brutal.

 

And that's exactly why I don't send books to them. Strict is good but I think they're too strict.

So you're saying it's a buyer's paradise.....

Slab!

thanks guys, I got 5 or 6 copies of the 18, but was striking out with the 17.

 

Only 5 or 6? Nice score. Hard to find in the wild.

 

For what it's worth, the last two collections I bought had both. In fact, they each had the entire run into the 90s.

Back a little before the recent craziness started, I found 2 17's at some local shows.

After that, zilch.

Even now I can still find 18's at stores for $6 or so.

Any 17 2nd prints in there?

How about I don't tell you what to post and you don't tell me what to post and life works well for both of us. If you really want, you can start a "raws that are selling well on eBay"

Well...this is the eBay thread and MCS isn't eBay
