Either that guy doesn't know what he is doing or it is a fraud listing. -J.

Picked up a nice bundle of comics from Frank over in the modern section for a screaming deal. He shipped the very next day and the items were packed superbly. Nice guy to deal with, highly recommended. (thumbs u Regards, -Jay

The 7.5 on ebay just sold. http://www.ebay.com/sch/?_nkw=-qzkgwxbbcvsqvpjmzr+351221307495&LH_Complete=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_BO=1&_pppn=v3&_ipg=200&_pgn=1 -J.

This thread needs a ! Looks like Mr. 9.0 did even better the second time around. http://www.ebay.com/sch/?_nkw=-qzkgwxbbcvsqvpjmzr+121481124848&LH_Complete=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_BO=1&_pppn=v3&_ipg=200&_pgn=1 -J.

FMV for an 8.0 could well be $8k now. There were a few sales in the days after gadzukes copy sold that, if legitimate, would make a case for an $8k value, perhaps even more. A pence copy 8.0 would have an average FMV of about 60% of that. Possibly a little more on a really good day. Possibly less on a bad one. -J.

Dan- That's an impressive book there, brother. (thumbs u Silverweb- No problem. -J.

There have been a few black label sales in recent weeks, in the 1700-1800 range. They are readily available. (thumbs u -J.

Very nice congrats! Definitely a hot book and yours presents well for the grade. -J.

R-rating please... Thats a joke right? What's your percieved punchline? So you really think Marvel would pump out an R rated Deadpool movie? Marvel probably wouldn't but Fox might. -J. Nope, just don't see Fox doing it either. When it comes to comic properties the big movie producers don't want 'R' rated super flicks. The last one I could think of was the 2 Kick- movies and those didn't perform to well either. My bubble is seriously bursting. -J.

As the years pass, Cap #1 has become harder and harder to obtain. Even when multiple copies are offered in the same auction, the prices continue to be strong. To own a copy in any condition is an achievement, much less one as nice as yours, Dark Knight's and the rest of the copies shared in this thread. (thumbs u -J.

Damn Rick you've really been tearing it up as of late. Congrats that really is a nice looking .5. Awesome pick up ! -J.

Wouldn't surprise me to see it at least flirting with if not breaking $9k by this time next year. (thumbs u -J.

Only $9k more than the .5 restored? Was $16k for that an outlier? Or are people willing to pay extra strong for the lower grades (even restored) just to own one? -J.

+1. It is my understanding that the vast majority of CBCS submissions have been and still are by dealers, so they do have a vested interest in promulgating the notion that there "is no difference in pricing" between the two companies realized. While I have seen some comparable pricing realized in grade when their slabs first started hitting the market, at least half the time, and even more frequently as time goes on, CBCS slabs go for less. The company has yet to earn mass market acceptance, and I agree with Paul, there is no reason why that should automatically happen overnight, just because some big time dealers decide to use them early, most likely because CBCS offered a discount for the business, and yet still expect to realize comparable CGC slab prices at auction. That is just not a realistic expectation IMO. I too am only a collector, and I know that I would never buy a CBCS slab either for many reasons. Here are a few of them: 1) I don't like their labels. Too much fine print. Details about the grading are good, but I don't want to suffer eye strain trying to figure out what they say is going on with a book. 2) Restored books have the same looking labels as non-restored books. This literally only benefits the seller of the book and/or the person who submits the books for grading. This seems an obvious kow-tow to those who wish to de-stigmatize restored books, but all it does is make me scroll right past CBCS books on the occasion I see them listed. If I'm doing it you can assume there are 1000 others doing the same thing. 3) Not all CBCS labels disclose trimming, simply because it's "obvious". I don't care if it's "obvious" or not, if the book is trimmed the grading company needs to put it on the label, front and center. 4) CBCS will "verify" an un-witnessed signature. Unless they have hand writing experts trained at Quantico on staff, sorry, you shouldn't be doing that. 5) I am.not going to buy a CBCS slab because whenever I see one my first question is, "what was the person's reason/incentive for sending this book to CBCS instead of CGC?" and "Is there something about this book that CBCS won't disclose that CGC would?" 6) If I have 100 CGC slabs, why would I want another random mis-matched slab, and especially of a super mega key book from a company that just started? This has nothing to do with the integrity of the company, and competition isn't a bad thing. I also understand that there would be no point of their existence if they simply duplicated everything CGC does exactly. But CBCS is very late to the game, and the market is very conditioned to what CGC has done. And since they are the ones who came up with the entire slabbing and grading concept, it only makes sense that there is, and will likely continue to be, a difference in realized prices.

The 4.5 didn't do too shabby either. http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=581535 That's nearly double what a 4.5 sold for last year. -J.

I saw it. You posted a scan of a CBCS book. Guess that's no bueno around these parts. -J.

Thanks Moe! Still at the feet of your 7.0 copy. That thing is just outrageous. -J.

Ah very nice! Where have you been hiding that beauty? Another member of the "5.0 Sub-club". -J.

Thanks wayne-tec, I'm in good company. First new member in 17 pages. Glad I finally bit the bullet on one. It really was one of those "now or never" situations. Damn that is a strong price for a .5 restored, especially with that 6.5 mod still being available at the time on ebay for $24.5k (now also sold). Glad I already had Greg locked in on price before that auction closed. -J.

Only seven total possible members for the "Cap 1 Sub-Club". I can only wish I was able to buy in seven years ago though. Better late than never I suppose! -J.

Thank you kindly gents. Definitely a nice early Christmas present, and a feeling of accomplishment to finally lock a copy down, and yes Greg was indeed very fair and easy to work with. (thumbs u -J.

This thread needs a ! Sign me up for this club Wayne-Tec! It took several months, but I was finally able to close on this with Greg Reece! An original owner book, and I am definitely doing the happy dance! The scan doesn't do it justice, as it is much brighter in hand. (And yes, the sale is going to be reported to GPA.) (thumbs u -J.

Damn nice pick up! -J.
