    Moderns that are heating up on ebay!

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted · Edited by 1p36DSA

    I am very serious, if you want the key daisy Johnson book for some reason it is #5. She isn't quake in #2, never mentioned name, and was a flashback. Her speaking part was extremely minor and I mean minor. Barely visiblie in half the panels she is in.

     

    I have no skin in the game on this one just call them as i read them, could care less hyping these moderns that get enough hype on their own form bleeding cools consistent errors!

    what do you think about cream off white pages

    Here is a copy-and-paste of one of my posts from a thread discussing PQ from earlier this year ...

     

    "Here are my page quality ("PQ") preferences when buying, and how I perceive pricing premiums or discounts, as the case may be, as it relates to PQ. Ultimately, the era of the book is key because PQ tends to worsen with age.

     

    For a GA book, I go C/OW or higher. W commands a premium (at least 10%, higher on tougher books), while C/OW pages don't lessen demand much (if at all) because you're dealing with paper than in many cases is 70 years old and books that (depending on the book) can be hard to find, particularly in higher grades. So the 70-year-old paper is more special if it's W, but because it's so old I don't punish the book just because it's C/OW.

     

    For SA, I will go OW or higher, but will do C/OW on early SA DCs. I don't think there is much pricing difference between C/OW, OW, and even OW/W. I think pricing is generally the same for the book in those three PQ categories, and it is hard to add a PQ premium for the OW/W category. I would say that you might lose the interest of some potential buyers for a C/OW SA book because a picky buyer knows that SA books generally aren't hard to find. However, W should command a premium on pricing -- what that premium is expressed as a percentage, very hard to say, maybe another 5% to 10% (or 15%, in the case of a key)?

     

    For BA, I want W but won't accept less than OW/W. I think C/OW in the BA should cause some price discount, while PQ from OW to OW/W to even W should not affect pricing (and, indeed, such PQ should be expected). That's because now we're looking at 35- to 40-year old paper that during most of those years should have been protected in a plastic bag, well-stored, etc.

     

    For CA, I insist on W and won't pay a penny more for it. This is 25- to 30-year old paper, incredibly plentiful supply, and the book should have almost always been bagged and well-stored, etc. Not to mention that post-1980 many publishers started printing on higher quality paper (remember Baxter paper?) and moved away from pulp, which is more susceptible to deterioration."

    I believe name is Fredirck Dean so if you see this send me another pm please. Anyways he has made full restitution with me. Thank you.... but I believe there were several others around that time frame that needed restitution. I think this was like 3-4 months ago???

     

    4) Removal From The PL

    a) If the accuser requests the accused be removed form the PL, the accused will be removed.

     

    b) If the accused makes full restitution to the satisfaction of the accuser, the accused will be removed from the PL.

     

    c) If multiple accusers are involved, and full restitution is satisfactorily made to all accusers, the accused will be removed from the PL.
