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

Seems like it is heating up . . .

Flip the search to "Most Recent Prices" and you get a different story:

Real Talk

Still a high price for a no-name book, but not pulling down those prices anymore.

I dont really consider that place a traditional flea market, because these people rent and operate small individual booths and mostly sell a bunch of wholesale stuff like Rebel Flag shirts, belts, beach towels, As Seen on TV stuff, ect. When I think of Flea market I am thinking of people bringing their stuff from home, renting a table, and selling their used stuff. These people sell wholesale stuff everyday for a living.

No, it was the Myrtle Beach Flea Market just past the 17 Business entrance to Market Common.

 

The North Myrtle indoor market has NOTHING of significance in it. Neither does the outdoor market in Little River. Might have to drive down to MB and check that place out. Pretty sure last time I was down there that place wasn't a flea market.

Wolf's Flea market in Palatine Il is this exact set-up. Aisles upon aisles of basically garbage, vendors offering haircuts, shelves of old CD's, DVD's, VHS tapes.....

The haircuts stall @ Wolff's is my favorite. :thumbsup:

Once again, I have to thank this board for helping me find some hidden eBay gems.

Went to an LCS after work and found a VF Two-in-One in a 75% off box.

Now to make some money before people realize what they are buying.

:thumbsup:

Whhhewwww...

 

5 stores

 

5 copies

 

its been a looooong day

 

 

Are these really sold out everywhere? Or just 1-per-customer limits?

 

 

So I saw these on Wednesday, and thought I'll come back for it later in the week in NYC.

 

Came back today to three different shops all sold out.....

 

Why is this so hot?

 

Because the board said it is.

I'll admit, I haven't gone back and really looked at those panels since I was a kid. Seeing them all lined up does it make more interesting -- and does tilt the first cameo squarely in MoS 17's favor.

However, why does this cameo command more than the full appearance (when it is usually the opposite)?

What will be the catalyst that sees 18 replace 17 as the "one to own"?

 

I say just get both in 9.8 and set them next to each other on the mantel.

Done and done. :thumbsup:

Trying to figure out when to get rid of my 9.6's.

No, 17 is the first brief appearance (one page, four panels, covered arm only) and the three other Superman titles each have their own similar page with four panels showing the progression of Doomsday breaking the wall of his prison.

Yep, agreed. Though I'm out of the loop on that 3rd title.

Perhaps it's b/c 17 is the first of the all-the-same-cameo?
