with book in hand what did you think it's upgrade potential was? What was the last price a 9.4 sold for prior to the auction?

May have been the case for the buyer but there were many others that would have spotted it's potential and bid against him accordingly. Anything advertised as unpressed, as the mound city books were, will be reviewed very carefully for potential. Some were successful in getting upgrades after pressing others didn't.

looks just like the mound city copy to me...former 9.4 Interesting how the market reacts to sales of books. If this is the Mound city book it only reached $106k because someone spotted it's potential as a 9.6. However it's sale has been used as a benchmark and led to further 9.4 sales over 100k which were probaby not pressable into 9.6s.

Great book.

from heritage auction Green Lantern #7 (DC, 1961) CGC NM 9.4 OWW pages....$7,767 How did this compare to boardee expectations? I am nether the buyer or seller so don't pull any punches.

50k would be a bargain. MP 7.0s prior to the $1MM tec #27 sales were in the $75-85k range. Now? Whether its an A or a P the price will be dependent on how much and the type of work done that makes it a moderate book.

doesn't read well though. I would edit it to something more appropriate.

more food for thought...and a new twist...wow It doesn't seem so unreasonable that he'd put up a pic of his new comic ten days after "buying" it. If the deal was agreed upon on the 18th, maybe loot was sent on the 19th, comic shipped on the 20th or 21st, it's easy to see the second buyer not getting it until the 27th or 28th, then scanning it and getting it in his sig. I'm definitely leaning towards condemning the seller, but not at all convinced that the second buyer did anything wrong. I hope not. why would the seller sell it for less money than he had previously agreed a sale on? Especially as the original buyer still wanted the book. Doesn't add up.

more food for thought...and a new twist...wow Doesn't look good for either the seller or the new buyer............

too easy for me., Batman #1. Without a moment of hesitation Same here

Tec 38 Tec #38 would have gone for more if I hadn't had internet probs at the time.

both are great books, top of the heap. if I had to choose, give me the KC Action #1. Tec #27 - the first Bat will always be the book for me.

Tec#38. Was tempted to revive this thread with the pick of the recent 8.0s but thought Steve had done this when I clicked on the revived thread. Considering all that has recently happened why these 2 books?

I have changed my buying methods of late, which is why I haven't won anything Actually this is my first pre Robin Tec that either George or Rick haven't owned

and at quite the bargain too, makes it doubly sweet It was a bargain price, and you're right, it's doubly sweet Stunning book doc! But, probably only you, gator and george would refer to an 8.5 pre-robin tec as being a bargain. but it was a bargain

9.4 Good luck

(thumbs u That's a big gamble. Maybe this flipper may make money and not loose like the others and especially some of the Mound City books. doesn't nec have to be a flipper...could be some that just recognized potential... don't know, but whenever I see a book in common grade go way outside the norm, that is my immediately thought pattern these days.... "improvable" There's a few 8.5 on CL...why not pay a little more and not take the risk for those copies. BTW, the 8.5 that sold recently is slightly faded or just not rich in color. could be something about that copy, maybe the notes detailed a 1.0 jump... no way to know without asking both the winner and the underbidder, if we knew who they were underbidder. Just liked it.

once upon a time I had 50-200 in 9.4 or higher

Low grade is low grade regardless of title, issue, desirability, or availability. it was a joke, although i have trouble calling any book worth 6 figures low grade I don't. You should see my high grade Marvel #1

nothing wrong with low grades (thumbs u (thumbs u (thumbs u My best book is a 4.0. Yeah a 4.0 Tec #27 though

nothing wrong with low grades (thumbs u (thumbs u (thumbs u My best book is a 4.0.

no way..Gator has his scarcity index on multiple threads..everything appears in cycles, but 29 is definitely tougher than 35. (thumbs u #29 rarer than #35 but as with everyything its a function of availability at any particular period of time. The last comic I needed for my first 27-37 run was #35.
