Absolutely loved it. My wife said she'd give it a B+. She wasn't feeling the dream sequences.

Are the price stickers on the books?

One of the best GA Batman covers IMO. Love it.

I honestly do not understand why you continue to make trades instead of throwing your books up on eBay and actually making sales. You really need to consider risk vs reward. What was there to gain by making that trade? I don't know the FMV on those books off the top of my head but let's assume you stood to gain $100 in value once the trade was complete...well you also had the risk of losing what sounds like around $700 worth of books. I can't think of any situation in which the USPS would be on the hook to reimburse you for this, insurance or no.

Ah I see. So if this book were graded today it would have an A, B, or C rating, or am I misunderstanding?

I was actually just looking at the HA one and the label says Extensive (B-5). Is that a lower quality than EP? It also had white pages while this one is OW/CR. http://comics.ha.com/itm/batman-1-dc-1940-cgc-apparent-fn-60-extensive-b-5-white-pages/a/7147-91044.s

I have my eye on this 6.0 EP in the upcoming ComicConnect auction. http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=642550 Any guesses on how much it will go for?

Anyone looking to sell their copy? Looking for one in the 30K range.

Please tell me you are saving more of the money you receive monthly than you are spending on comics.

#1 - Well yeah, but you're buying stuff when the books are hot and when everyone else is buying it. The key to speculation is guessing on future events, not to act on stuff that has already affected the price of the book, such as the announcement of a movie. #2 - some of your books for sale, such as a SA Batman (can't remember the #), are mid-grade, not keys, and there's no reason for anyone to pay a premium on the book just because it is graded. I would be very surprised if you could sell that book for more than a raw one in the same condition. So that's $35 lost in grading fees or whatever it is. #3 - This is why you shouldn't be making purchases for hundreds of dollars if you don't understand what you're buying. Start smaller with $40-$50 key issues, not $500+ books that can't be sold (such as those coverless JLA1s or whatever it was).

A lot of huge problems here: 1) Your business is centered around speculation 2) You don't get how having a book graded adds to the value 3) You overprice and advertise to a limited audience (see: same books for sale on FB for months? more than a year? My advice: list the stuff you've been sitting on for months with a starting bid of how much you've paid for it on eBay with a 1 week auction, recoup the money you sunk into this, and revamp your business angle. This is clearly not working for you man.

Got my club membership today!

I'd been trying to buy a copy for months. Lots of competition for it when it comes up for auction on eBay!

Just got this one

Just got this bad boy

Selling books on consignment that you don't have in hand is only going to end badly IMO.

Ended up being all 80s and 90s drek of course

Posted on FB that I will appraise and/or buy comic collections. Guy messaged me saying he has a bunch of books from the 30s and reassured me by saying "trust me they're old bro". Can't wait to see what he sends me pics of

I posted these in another thread but here are my GA Batman books

Do you need a spray gun to paint it properly? I don't know much about this stuff but hearing that I may re-think buying one of them.

I know of 3 spinner racks for sale in Louisiana but they are pretty rusty looking. If anyone's interested in them I can point you in the right direction.
