Title says it all. I take check, money order or PayPal. Shipping included inside the US, foreign will ship at cost. No returns on slabs. I'll keep this up for a day or so, then off to eBay. Nice book. Thought it was a 9.4, but whatever. SOLD

I'd hazard a guess that it's worth maybe half of the asking price at best. That's a ROUGH coverless. Brittle, with chunks floating around the interior well, extensive tape, possible removed from a bound volume or something else that required saddle stitching. Adding a repro cover shouldn't add much value, but it would at least cover up some of the ugliness.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

I will have to check my old records, but I slabbed and sold a ton of high grade squarebound SA DCs in 2011 and 2012 out of an OO collection. They went through CLink. Pretty sure that Rock was one of then. It went for just a BIT less than $8k. Lol

A board member picked it up and we cracked it out together. Insane copy, was fun seeing it raw.

Love this issue, beautiful copy.

There were a handful of younger guys buying up a ton of stuff and prices at the auction were insane...at least on Friday night. But yeah, it was pretty much the same show as always. I expected more of a frenzy and more new "collectors".

Many sad, hard lessons from this story, not the least of which is that the internet mob is a savage beast. You let if off the chain at your own peril, and shouldn't be shocked if it turns on you.

Just talked to my friend Bill. He does Copper, but mostly Modern. 500+ subs before this year: zero 9.9/10.0 results. Last 21 book sub: four 9.9 results. Take that for what you will. Wondering if 9.9 will be the next 9.8, especially with the pre-screen.

Have you bothered to look at either of their work? Because if you had, you'd know instantly what Namor was talking about.

Did you read up on what he did? He was somewhat creepy and suggestive to a 17 year old. He could have slept with her and it wouldn't be a crime in 39 out of 50 states. As a man roughly his age, his actions were indefensible and gross. That said, the internet does what the internet does best and went totally overboard. At least the Athenians had the decency to take a vote before ostracizing someone. Other cultures consider shunning among their most serious punishments. We immediately hand it out like candy at the behest of anonymous internet mobs. That should give us pause...

The screen caps I saw showed behavior that was over the line and wrong. The internet mob and court of public opinion that tried, judged and tore his life apart were also over the line and wrong. So depressing and sickening, on every level.

I've wanted a copy for years. Figured I had a shot at 10k. I figured wrong.

I know it was all the way back in the foggy days of 2022, but have we all forgotten the Clayton Crain acetate 9.9's and 10.0's? Whatever. Business as usual in comic land. Everyone go back to sleep.

It's all so laughably transparent and corrupt at this point.

You guys suck at reading.

You are on the CGC card cert lookup, not the CGC comic lookup. "Trading card" in the second scan. Has happened to me more than a few times...including today.

You forgot to add the part where market value is $6.

They must have a big rolodex of old school deep pocketed collectors, because all I hear is sub-par comments everytime their name gets mentioned. Over grading, slow shipping, bad attitudes.

Going to send out invoice starting today. Will leave the thread open for awhile though, as stuff keeps trickling out.

Brave Bold 54 9.4 sold via PM

General loss of interest coupled with unfavorable market conditions.

Man. I am sorry.

Dude, this is not your lucky day. Did you see my edit about keeping it? Check your quoted post.
