You're leaving money on the table (someone else will jump at the chance to do it, after buying it cheap from you).

The last comments in that thread from about a year ago mentioned he was now listing restoration in description on restored books... and based on his feedback in the past year being all positive that sounds about right to me.
As for what the seller did in what 2012? On a different username, well, it looks like there were plenty of complaints about that - again proving the point that if you do actually routinely rip people off for high-dollar books you will get complaint and people will leave negative and neutral reviews.
It's almost a board's right of passage, getting burned by Dupcak.
If you don't receive a threatening email, with a picture of a roid freak in it, you're no one!

Trivia. Some of those issues of Thor in the #140 - 180 range, while not overly valuable, are ultra scarce in the top grade. Examples:
#143 - 1st app. Enchanters Three : 2 in 9.8
#165 - 2nd app. Him : 6 in 9.8
#168 - Origin Galactus : 2 in 9.8
Interesting. Another of those titles that obviously didn't attract careful collectors and got mauled at the news stands. That said, some of the Class of 68 such as Nick Fury #1 have over 100 in the 9.8 range. I don't believe after 50+ years there are any unslabbed freaks of nature out there, so sadly this is the quota for said issues.
#168 has taken off lately...in the 9.6 level
2018 $1,350
2019 $2,700
2019 $2,300

This is true too. The dc sa books really shot up in the 90s, while marvel was dormant, but nothing since then save a few key issues here and there
If anything DC modern books are starting to move. Though again it's just a few highligts here and there. The two big titles have all the movement in the GA.

Yeah #3 has definitely been hot. A 9.8 of #4 though just sold pretty solidly though, with another 9.8 coming to auction.
It'll be interesting to see the results for the #4.
The clink had 4 #15 9.8's come through, all $5k plus sales, without a fault.

Seems like SS1, SS3 and SS4 have seen nice rises as of late and the last year or so. I imagine with Marvel getting the rights back to the Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer, it seems like people feel he’ll be brought out again and done right. So could see Mephisto get pulled into the cinematic universe or a Thor/SS meeting, although I know Chris Hemsworth’s contract is up I believe? But no word that he’ll never be in a movie again as Thor. But movie potential news aside, I’ve definitely noticed an uptick in those books. Also have to just recognize the covers are badass!!!!
I think there's interest across the whole series, but I the interest in #3 is interesting. It's the tough one in the run.
-
The tough one in the Silver Surfer run is a white page #3. It was published using to two different paper stocks, so you never see a W pager #3.

All the same book. Never opened bundle. No 9.8s I assume.
Seriously cool.

In the early 1980's I bought 100 copies each of Fantastic Four #48, Conan the Barbarian #1 mainly in the VF - NM condition ranges, and other key issues, (if I recall correctly) from Gary Dolgoff and/or Joseph Koch, from a dealer who Sold Out and Retired (rumored to be Robert Bell)
In the early 1980's , I bought 100 copies each of mainly 1960's to early 1970's Warren Magazines (Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella) mainly in the VF - NM ranges, (if I recall correctly) from Gary Dolgoff and/or Joseph Koch, from the Warren Warehouse, when the company folded.
I recall that Gary Dolgoff sold a full long box (300 copies) of Iron Man #1's and NM average to a dealer about 15 years ago from a "find".
Interesting stuff.
I ended up buying the last 3 copies of Nick Fury #1 off Gary Dolgoff. I got the impression he had been sitting on a large pile of them for years, and slowly whittled it down as CGC came into play, and all the top graded books set their own price points well above guide.
I still have them, great registration, and ridiculously mint (only 9.8's). And his pricing wasn't aggressive.

You are trying to compare Ant-Man to Silver Surfer?
btw just so everybody knows my good friend Kimik is one of the biggest DC fans I ever encountered on these boards.
That's cool, and I respect that.
But most of us know Marvel movies is what is considered cool and lightning up the social media sites and Hollywood box office.
I will stand by my decision the Silver Surfer movie will beat the next Green Lantern movie at box office.
Honestly, it won't even be close.
The movies stand on their own in terms of making, or breaking a character. It'll be down to how much budget they want to throw at it, as opposed to a devout inbuilt audience of fans.
The movies are looking to be pitched at the different levels of the movie market, with Ant-man 2 directed squarely at the kids, and Rudd did his part perfectly in that respect. There's more long term impact in these movies, than any other's, getting the audience at the ground floor. The marvel movies are setting the standard for entertainment value at the moment.
It will take a very good writer/director team to take SS to a great cinematic presentation. Though every good hero needs a good enemy.... Galactus!!!!!

Oh I agree - not saying FF48 is completely speculation, there is certainly demand driving it but there is also speculation.
It is the same with IH181 - there is certainly demand but also plenty of speculation (of course all IMO).
But FF48 is dragging 49, and 50, and SS #1 with it.
181 is a freak, always has been, always will be. There's no point in comparing it to any other book out there.

Does anyone know what an FF#48 in CGC 9.6 go for at the moment?
-
Gotcha, thanks for that.
...still no DP movie in the works
-
Excuse my ignorance, but why is Doom Patrol #99 heating up?
I have a copy, and have been contacted about possibly selling it.
-
Anyone watching the CGC 9.6 on Heritage's Signature auction at the moment?
It's sitting on $28,000, I'll be very curious to see where it finishes.
$39,000 and counting..
Final bid: $44,812.50!
If the movie goes well, that will look like a bargin price very quickly.

And this is an original label copy, so part of the first 3 9.6's to go on the census. The other two being the Pacific Coast copies. Though they're not sitting in original holders. Doug resubbed them (how many times?). One was White pagers, the other an Off-white, that turned into an Off-white to white copy. But they both remain as 9.6's.
I haven't seen the more recent 9.6 on the census, and looking at the 9.4's, it doesn't seem to of been a lucky upgrade candidate.

Some facts:
the great malaise of 1997-2002,
I'm not mocking, but the post was a 10, and this bit just had me chuckling at my desk.

It looks like the Oakland 9.6 is coming up for bid in the next CL auction. Does anyone know anything about this book? It belongs to a boardie, right? I didn't know this was an old label book for some reason. Always wanted to see it.
Darn you! I was hoping this book wouldn't be mentioned here.
The top staple is loose, so I'm not sure if it will be made into a 9.8... so I suspect standard 227 bidding on this book.

Hi Matt,
Can you create a 20th century character appearances based set for Gambit.
Starting at Uncanny X-Men annual 1990, through to X-men vol 2 95 (Dec 1999)
Thank you
