MAY1979

When I plan to bid on a regular auction I never watch it. I set my snipe and keep track of it on the snipe service dashboard. Manual bidding and watching is so 2002, was not aware so many folks still do that... Has the market and this thread paradigm shifted to what is most watched rather than what is selling well?

Thanks for explaining. I do not agree that watchers is = buyers. I'm sure there are many like me who do it out of curiosity as we already own the item. No longer will I click on "Add To Watchlist" and have deleted my current watched comics due to what you have mentioned.

Please explain your reasons for mentioning watchers in your posts as I do not understand (seriously no malice intended) how that correlates into sale/hammer price nor what it means in terms of "hot". P.S. if it is a factor then I'll stop being someone who clicks on Watch Item for Comics on eBay to avoid being part of some larger market manipulation machination.

Or "Thawing"

When it was around $450 I submitted my copies, although they all received a 9.8 given current FMV i should not have bothered. Same with other books like Venom Lethal Protector 1, ASM 328,361,365,375. As and I'm proud to admit i don't sell Comics (or trading cards), I should have simply left them all in their Mylars. Yep, I totally wasted my money submitting high population glut or glut adjacent stuff. It could have been much worse however as I could have been one of the Moe Ron's buying them at those 2020-2022 prices P.S. I now include Booster Gold 1 and Spectre 54 as books I should not have submitted. As a NON-seller finally at this juncture I've learned the lesson of never submitting a book when it's hot

So cooling, not hot then again cooling not cold may very well be the new hot...

Fast cash grab at the expense of Brand perception, reputation, and future business. The only folks who should be happy about the deal are the Execs using it to pad their bonus before skedaddling and PSA who is overjoyed that CGC is no longer even a viable threat of any kind...

Then uses 2 of their likely many eBay accounts to get this to show up - "2 people have this in their cart". To quote Forest Gump; "Dee Bahg is as Dee Bahg does"

not an error just running a bit low on the Yellow ink

eBay likely (and only) pulled due to image in the auction offering an off-ebay deal. Folks ensure to use strong passwords (or long pass phrases) for your eBay accounts! https://www.cisa.gov/secure-our-world/use-strong-passwords

Exactly!

IME many Comic and Trading collectors are that gullible. If it was offered as a BIN way below FMV then add dealers into that mix from an angle of greed.

The primary incentive for not using the folks in Newport Beach, whose slabs have significantly higher resale value, was CGC's fast turn-around. With now glacial turn-around and line cutting might as well crank up Zepp's "Goin' to California"

Huge thanks!!! While I'm probably the only one who ever views the set type, I'll now be able to do so without scratching my head 😀

^ we do overlap at 150

Loved his inking on Sal B's Cap pencils... Good family man and great father mentioned by his daughter on FB. May he RIP.

IMHO $90-$150 at auction. Late 80s-early 90s DC "filler" pages by non-name brand artists were never high but now they are in free-fall...

Hi jstam, Hoping you will consider my request "DC 100 Page Digests" https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/SetTypeDetail.aspx?SetTypeID=2846 Set Contains Tarzan Digest 1 Reasons Tarzan Digest 1 does not belong: 1) Tarzan Digest 1 is 164 pages not 100 - https://www.comics.org/issue/25770/ 2) Tarzan Digest 1 is from 1972, all other 144 digest comics in the set type are from the 1979-1986 DC Digest era. All of which except for the special double-sized issues are 100 pages. I am interested in seeing this corrected from a purely the book does not qualify for the set type standpoint. I am not attempting any kind of "sneaky maneuver" to move up in the registry. I say that as I am fortunate+proud to have the #1 set by an extremely large margin and given the census pops an insurmountable lead (apologies for my lack of modesty). In addition no Owner in the set type has a copy of Tarzan Digest 1 Many Thanks for all your time and efforts !!!

Nice looking Dr Solar's 9.2 or 9.4 on both

Curious, GA Batman or 2011?

Makes sense as most who are not at least approaching 50 primarily care only about 1st this or 1st that, and not interested in bronze or copper run issues

or right now is still shallow with the Mariana Trench getting closer?

That was Vinny circa 1998. His standards IMHO are significantly more lenient since then on books for sale, to the point its Mile High territory.

IMHO it's like School on the 4th of July or Christmas
