That Marvel Tales. 

Can't believe it was a 4.5

I said 3.5, but I totally forgot about the GA bump 

Yikes- tough round

I went 7.5 on the JIM 82 knowing how tough CGC can be on stains much of the time and had an 8.5 on the ALF

I did the exact same thing for both books -  with the same reasoning for the JIM

I went 9.4 on the JIM and 8.0 on the Alf.

 

i just could not see anything on the JIM that indicated below NM-, it’s a beautiful book.  The Alf on the other hand looked really rough at the spine and being a bronze book I expected CGC to be tough on it, I half expected my 8.0 to be high!

The JIM had a stain on the back cover

5.0-ish

hmmm

not bad.... 3.0 and 8.5 (was thinking 9.0 but seemed too risky)

In if it's not too late

I've done wire transfers for both comic and gun purchases.  It's not that out of the ordinary.

exactly - very common practice for transfering large sums

I would refute that statement.  Wholeheartedly.

I disagree. We're talking 40 years worth of collecting. 99.9% sure someone who has a collection that valuable over that period of time has been to numerous cons, shows, dealt with dealers, spent tons of money over 40 years, knows how to grade, knows about grading companies etc. They're no rookie. This is no fly-by-night collector based on the collection he described.

I can see someone having a valuable collection that was passed down to them, purchased as a kid over 5-10 years and then stored away... but we're talking 40 years

Antique show/flea markets for me have been the least productive out of any venue.  Aside from that one exception (mentioned in this thread awhile back) for me it's been a complete waste of time.

you're right

generally they're pretty bad at yielding good books (at least in my area). I had some success a few years ago at a particular antique show with a particular seller who bought collections and waited for antique shows to sell his books... but he doesn't do the shows anymore.

I hit four garage sales on Saturday morning that advertised comics. There were some junky comics, nothing worth buying.

 

Just trying to balance the scales for those who think that it's easy pickings!

 

This post made me smile. 

I went to a large antique show last weekend. ... nothing remotely close to valuable.
