woowoo

This is one of many great covers

That 26 is F_=_+_g great i have a lot of great Goldenage when Ian Levine said he wanted 1 i could not find 1. Than ebay had 1 in 08 and it went for a lot Great book and and its a church WOW

This would clean up nicely. Ha Thanks forgot i could have this done. I will ask Ze-man if it could get a full grade bump or more might be worth it.

This little thing is all i got O I have a 14 that was VF with stress marks that i took a black marker two in the 80s dont know what marker but it might be able to be removed?

I believe you're referring to Ze-Man's thread: Leafcasting. YUP thats it Thanks. anyone know him and does he retore books?

Action 13 not 10? But i do have a 10 In that case I need them both! I have a #7 and #15. I want the 7 lets talk?

Need help I was going thru the boards weeks ago and saw a post of someone starting to do leaf casting getting better everytime and it was not Matt anyone know what i am talking abought.

Action 13 not 10? But i do have a 10

I have had books from way back in the 80s have lots of books that i have not looked at for 10+ years . Last time i was going thru my books i found Action 13 said WOW forgot this one. I said why did i not get this restored than i saw coupon clipped back cover but its unrestored VG/F thats what the round sticker says?. when i had some keys retored it cost 300 or less i dont have any idea what it cost now days so if anyone has prices fill me in please. G.A.tor thanks did not know you cant undo Mod i thought you can undo any work with more of a loss. If i dont make sense i changed my Meds from JIm Beam to Jack D today or went from Mod to EXT. I would like to see todays rest prices.

When i spend 5 grand plus on a resored book i know when it says Ext that there is No chance of the resto removed..................... When i see a Mod i think that ha there is a chance the resto goes away with a less grade but its not purple L of death by todays standards. When i see its a 155g book with Ext now its a Mod i see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Do you think it does not matter if its Slight or Ext to people spending huge money?. When i see a Tec 27 in a Mod holder 9.4 I think there is a chance the resto gets removed and its a 5.0 blue. O and then i think press the book and its 6.0 $$$$$$$$$$ All i am saying is all PLOD are not equal it does matter to someone like me who can spend big bucks on books but i have no problem with restored same book at 20% = more great books?

The story of the year is the grade bumping of major keys....both in terms of actual grade and amount of restoration. The rise in price from 155K to 595K on the restored DT 27 is greed fueled. What can stop this....what has ever stopped making a profit. It is very important that this record breaking comic book not be a "grade bump" book.... Mitch, grades can change simply because CGC sees a book differently. Nothing necessarily needs to be done to a book. What is happening is these books are all vying for position (best, 2nd best, 3rd best, etc). Eventually they will settle into their respective positions. Interesting business model....change the standards every 5 years and regrade and regrade . Right now its grade bumping 1 grade and possible 1.2 grades higher. What happens when it it two grades higher....buying at the top is dangerous to say the least. But VC when know what is done to comics today to restore or unrepair to grade bump. Vying for a position does not mean what is occurring is a good and healthy thing. Mitch where have you been the last 10 years? Maybe if you participated in a few threads outside of Action #1's you would have noticed that people have been talking about this since day one. At no time has anybody made 2million on a grade bump/ press or whatever. So the book bumped 100 bucks ten years ago... But this trend is deeper, more profitable... And it is just beginning with ga mega keys....the new saying ..."crack and press"...and make 2+ million profit on a single book....it is coming big time. I think we saw a near unique opportunity with the action 1. It was a beautiful book initially graded with a couple of removable flaws. Flaws that these days most remove before submitting for grading, thus eliminating the potential for upgrades. Will folks continue to try to manipulate books into higher slabs, of course. It's human nature. Folks have been trying to improve books for profit as long as even you have been collecting Mitch (restoration was once widely positively accepted as increasing a books value) However I'm pretty reluctant to think we will ever hear of a 2mil bump on a comic again, it is just not statistically probable. Let's look at the 9.4 bump on the D27 from 9.2....was 155K now 595K... if that bump is even greater even more dollars up. I see in todays Hollywood Reporter an article as to WHY Metro paid over 3.2 million dollars for the Action One...give it read...interesting...here I will sum it up for you....i "it is gonna be worth more".... If you own a GA Key....and can grade bump it .2,.4. or a full grade...what are you gonna do...Gator the 2 million dollar profit Gold Rush( see Chuck R market comments)..has just began..just too much greed and money on the table NOW. mitch, here's my rebuttal...first, greed and money on the table is nothing new...been happening for the past 10 years since the advent of cgc, and happened the previous 30 years to that (just on a diff scale)... second, the tec you bring up did change in grade, but until someone actually buys it, it has not changed in value...I can "ask" anything I want for a book ,but ask yourself, do you think a 9.4 mod Tec 27 is worth 595K? (don't even consider what it was before, just what it is now)...we've never seen a restored Key even sniff 200K, have we? so don't panic just yet... I will keep asking this... why do we care that a book in a PURPLE RESTORED LABEL got a grade bump? I am not a blue label grade absolutist, so I don't get bent out of shape by a bump on a blue label book, but this is the first time I've heard anyone get crazy about a grade bump on a book that is LABELED AS RESTORED. Since it's labeled as restored... someone did some work on it and got a grade bump. Or maybe it just looks nicer to a different grade and it gets .2? Why are the pitchforks out for this book? rob. I am ok with the grade bump book looks great. I am not ok with more work done on the book and it goes from EXT to Mod with more work.If resto was removed a little and it went from 9.2 EXT to 9.0 mod thats cool. look at the 2 scans color was added thats fine and is worth the grade bump but how can it go from Ext to Mod/ The book is worth the grade bump but not lowering the Resto work from E to M just my thought.

When you graded a book in 84-90 a Fine could be a vg or VF today?Thats a huge grade bump. Steve F talked to me in early 80s and said we need a 10 point G system. I thought the good vg/fine/vf/nm/m was the only way had no idea what he was talking about. I think CGC was to hard early on books they all looked undergraded for what we all new. I think now they new they were to hard and some things were ok so its fair now. BUUUUUT now maybe money and comp is changing things not happy with the 9.2 Ext to 9.4 Mod Tec 27. The Action 1 as long as nothing was added to the book only press you have to say its Bad A.. book and i dont think colors like that will be seen to much its the best i have seen in 40 years.

If DAs copy is the one he told me he got 28 years ago NM/Mint I would love to see it. Back then NM/Mint could be 8.0 up

I have a tec 27 so my book would be Tec 27 over Action 1. Now the 9.0 Action those pages so bright and white WOW even if you like Tec 27 over Action 1 you have to love the pages. Would love to see page for page on a white 27.

Thanks rob. I did a lot of mail stuff in the 80s have few letters from Dave A. I had told him i just got a copy of Tec 27 from E.Gerber he told me he just bought a NM-Mint copy of 27 himself. 30 years later this guy i was getting mail from telling me the books he got is the Dentist. I was a Comic GEEK and feel more like one now i was talking to the Action 1 of the comic world back then and did not know it.?

Sorry but i am lost what is FN68 copy ?

Mine is in a holder 8.5 Ex just not the right holder?
