ADAMANTIUM

Wasn't there a 9.4 sale for 35k? It sold several times with the same picture so idk if official salle or not.

I have the hardest time looking up the census. First pic is Nintendo Power search the second Is for just Nintendo

Ah it was the regular

Were they the sample copy or the regular? But interesting as I didn't care too much other than eBay sold, when expecting $500+ for a 5.0, but noticed the gocollect post so glad I asked. Thanks 👍

I expected "less", I just wasn't sure if this was the amount I thought of, I thought more toward 30k. The rest I'm well aware of, and it does seem a bit silly when a 5.0 sold yesterday at $300+ what a day to end an auction, Tuesday in the afternoon. The reason I bring this up, is as you said rare in high grade? It will be harder to "notice trends" unless more come to market and I hope would hurry along, but will probably take years and years Established trends is still probably to early?

I kind of expected more, based on past sales in this thread, I mean right?

That is my experience too, like any variant listings, depending on how "it is listed and who looks at it" I may get a premium as something different to a completionist etc. I agree they don't usually, which I blamed on not being talked about, or not nearly in the same vein as mark jeweler. I hardly hear either mentioned in "real" life but much less so the NDI, same with pizazz. While pizazz is not nearly the same type of 'insert" it may be represented in the market in value with the same kind of a "neat" or different thing, but wouldn't spur loads of searches for it. Maybe just impulse buys at bin?

Whoa that first book threw me! That spine, but I didn't take into account the page edge. gave it a 4.5, 10 points total with 5 being on that book alone doh Still my first bullseyes of the contest I think, with two of them, there may have been other rounds I don't recall. But Dan off by five oye!

Coolio! And enjoy Mayhem!

Time to get them in, what time is it? It's beer o'clock!

Some back alley somwhere

I was at the counter of Gamestop with my brother when I mentioned "POP's" were on sale, he said any you like, to which I responded that I own this comic and would look nice together. He bought it for me, which turned out to be a blessing, as we had to return when the employee had messed up the original purchases. It was upon our return that I got the pop! The Kindness of his heart makes it that much more appreciated. It is HOT OUTSIDE!

It is worth noting at this point that is what I got

R.I.P.

Not bad at all, and with a good assortment Don't feel too bad, there are over 5,000 registry participants with some looking good to great. Needle meet haystack, so it could be more for the enjoyment, as you said, then if you win-YOU WIN! So to speak. I've got the same of similar size collection under my "main gallery tab", difference is mine is in individual sets. You can still see all mine searching my name in registry and viewing the main "gallery tab". I say that to say, yours is in the custom sets? Idk how best presented works, but that may be why mine haven't been mentioned either so you may or may not have more going for you than you think. To that end Idk, if not #1 in a category to be #1 for best presented, or if it can be achieved in "Custom Sets?" or only there. I agree with the people who won, and can only surmise that there are a lot of sets, therefore a Lot of 1st place sets, and all that is needed is some sprucing up. I've got to give them credit to sticking to it, and more importantly, staying focused on one particular set or genre! @wytshus I had a question, so we'll know? For Best Presented? Does it matter if they are in the "Custom Set" portion?

Grades in!

I take that back 9.8's make good money

A few people are catching onto how rare CPV's are, and even more so for the DC issues. Add in a key issue, but that was some strong bidding. People had been waiting a while for an issue to come up. I still await Batman 357 cpv to gain traction, as imo is a key, but I just don't think there is a lot of demand for it period idk. It's the only I have, key, 9.6, DC, and yet nothing looks like hope for it. I've reconciled that I'm not going to sell it soon anyway, but it would be nice 😂

Wow! Amazing how I forgot @cgcsketcherz at least Strawberry is up for the hall of fame this year
