Wow, I sure am glad CGC noted this was a 100 pager...

I would of never gotten that one.

never knew the thing had teeth...

recent pickup.....

 

you guys need to start you own mini club...

called the "X- 9.8 Association"

hah! with the price of gold these days...

I'd be tempted to melt that book down.

179 is one of the first X-Men I can remember owning... love the cover

 

Personally I think Kitty should've stayed with him...nice guy, and looks aren't everything ya know...

It's that same logic seen when you see a lot of

ugly kids walking the streets these days...

Bob gets consignment business by using his own database and experience-based sense of the marketplace.

 

Case in point from several years ago. I wanted to buy an HDTV and so decided to sell a slabbed TOS 39 with white pages. First, I offered it on the boards for $Y, and a serious collector (at the time) of high grade early Marvels expressed an interest. However, he was only willing to pay 90% of Y since, after all, that was roughly the highest GPA price. I felt that with the exceptional eye appeal and page quality, the book could command more, and we never struck a deal. Bob offered to sell the book on consignment after giving the opinion that it could command much more than Y. He was right, and sold the book for 130% of Y. Even with his consignment fee, I netted a thousand dollars more than I would have by selling it to the serious collector from the boards who was rooted to a GPA-based value system.

 

I understand where Bob comes from when he states his unwillingness to provide "proprietary" information to the dealer community at large by making his data available through GPA.

The Bigger Question: Now that it is all said and done -Was the HDTV worth thaat sweet key?

Thing about it, if you can charge it and get it - why not price it through the nose???

If people don't want to buy it at that price it won't sell and it will be marked down

if the seller is inclined.

Greed, it's what's for breakfast!

I've paid triple GPA for certain books I've wanted.

 

 

example!

 

 

 

Paid OVER $1500 for a JIM #89 in 8.5. Foolkiller picked it up for me from Harry last year at the Javitts when last GP was about $600+

Sorry. make that 2.5 times GPA.

 

OK, close enough to 3 times GPA.

 

R.

and you want one in 9.0 or better

 

good example.

Those are nice dude.

I was wondering when people would start collecting these more in HG.

This was a series for me in the late 80's that I could wait til' the next issue.

Rough House, Blood Sport, Mr Fix It and old Patch.

The number nine is a nice creepy one shot story that was very cool too.

I ate it up.
