  1. While it was not something I was trying to complete I thought I would ask others who are interested in partial books if anyone else was surprised by the sale price of the New Adventure Comics 26 in the last HA sale? I realize it is supposedly the rarest of all DC books, and it admittedly has a very cool cover, but I really thought this would go for less than half of the final hammer price. Am I missing something or were there just two really motivated potential buyers?
  2. I bought some books from a thread that was closed. Michael treated it like it was an important sale even though it wasn't a lot of money. He double boxed the order and made a trip to the post office so it could get out quickly. Great communication and a super nice guy. I would gladly do business with him again.
  3. I would take a camp era Okajima pedigree book over a higher grade non pedigree book and run out the door like a madman before the seller changed their mind! I would also be excited for a Mile High, Larson, and a few others of that vintage.
  4. I have a lot of qualified books, mostly for married parts. If the book is complete , it doesn't bother me at all. I would not pay blue label prices for qualified of course, but it does bring a lot of books down to where I feel ok about budgeting for them and spending the money on them. I also have a number that are restored. If it bothered me that much I would not have bought them. I also think that qualified, conserved and restored should be viewed differently for silver age and especially for golden age. I think if someone is reinforcing a spine, or something like that, to strengthen a book, as long as they are disclosing it, I think it is fine to make the book last longer as the number of these books is set, and the demand (in many cases) exceeds the supply.
  5. I think it looks like a 5.0-5.5 to me, but with the discoloration on the right side of the front cover that could really hammer this book. It seems, from my experience, that CGC really will hammer a water stain. I can't tell if that is what is present or not. If it is, I would say my estimate is a full point too high. It does have really nice eye appeal for a book of that grade.
  6. Finally!! A topic where I can excel!! I feel like I am playing a nellow hand in dominoes.
  7. Here really needs to be an “envy “ button among the choices. Nice pickup!
