You have to post a price.

Thank you, I will do so. 

X-MEN #1 3.5 asking $13,500.  

HULK #1 2.0 asking $13,500.

I am in Los Angeles. Cash only. Willing to drive or fly to you with book to hand deliver. PM me with your location. Will add the Hulk back cover soon. No returns on these slabs.

I bailed at $14,501. Incredible result for a great copy.

I was actually going to bid up to 18,000. Overpaying just to secure a good copy of the book. Kind of relieved I didn’t. It was a great copy though, cover at least. The 2.0 on EB for 12,399 got nabbed a few days ago too

No worries, I sprang for them last week 😊

Gotcha!  What’s your guess on what it will go for?

Anybody have the grader notes on the CVA 2.0?

There has to be something inside

I’m not sure if we’re supposed to share grader’s notes, so all I’ll say is ‘whole book soiling’

You are going to be in heavy competition on the 2.0 with the CVA sticker.  And for the record, the last 2.0 on CL sold for $11,500. I suspect the nicer one will be well ahead of it.I don't think Hulk 1 has benefited from all the other inflation. although as someone who personally is looking in the under 20K range, hardly any are surfacing so also tough to say.

 

I have dealt with Atlanta Comics as a buyer and they were pretty good, not really any great pricing but it was a book I needed.

Any guess/hunch as to what the CVA book will go for? 👀

Thank you bro! Appreciate your knowledge. Good luck on your quest for the Hulk Grail 👍🏾🍀

In case you don't have GPA (highly recommended that you get a subscription), it shows only THREE recent sales of IH#1 in 2.0:   2 books in 2019:  8/31/19 for $9,982 and 10/29/19 for $9,220; and one book so far this year for $10,701 last month.  And GoCollect estimates an IH#1 in 2.0 at $10,500, noting most recent sale in April, too.  So that eBay listing price is quite a bit above that.   Whether or not that listing price is bad/decent/gooid depends on whether you think the book has appreciated in the past month, and even then, by how much.  Figure that out first before making an offer or buying it outright from anyone.  

I appreciate that information. I will look into GPA. There are also two 2.0 copies in active auction on ComicLink as we speak. I’m considering each of the three books, depending on the two auctions play out; particularly the one ending first, which shows very well in the slab. The other book on CL has white pages, but is munched a bit on the front cover. Yes, the $12,399 seems high, which is likely why it hasn’t moved. But the low number of low grade copies available and the recent inflation of Marvel silver age comics makes it confusing to assess. Not sure if Hulk 1 has appreciated according to the recent inflation as say XM1 and some others.

Your welcome!  Don't know how much experience you have with eBay, but generally the seller's rep outside of eBay becomes less important if he has so much positive feedback on eBay.  And here we are talking about a slab with detailed pix to guide you (and support you in the event of a dispute).   On eBay buyers are pretty well protected because they can always return an item for full refund if not as described, even if seller says he does not accept returns.   

I see. That’s great education for me, thank you. I appreciate your guidance.

FWIW, i took a look and I have seen zoomed-in pix like these before, usually accompanied by a single pix of the cover (not present here).  Seems like the missing single pix of the whole cover is no biggie here?  Together, the provided pix show the full front cover and full rear cover in pretty good detail.  The angling looks like an attempt to minimiz glare while also zooming in, with the benefit that the pix ended up giving more detail than you often see in eBay listings.     

I have nothing about the seller.  Maybe he's just too busy or thinks that it's too obvious that his pix speak for themselves?  Not ideal, but some sellers are not the hand-holding type.  As for the feedback, the seller had 3,779 ratings, only ONE of which was negative during the past 12 mos, and that was not within past one or six months.  It was for allegedly overgrading a high (VF/NM) raw.  And only 7 neutrals the past twelve months, relating to packaging or the over-grading of higher-end raw books.   This is a SLABBED book with detailed pix of a lower grade.   So I don't see any "bad reviews" painting a "shady character" at all, especially as would pertain to the purchase of a slab.   Anyway, good luck with your hunt.  

Thank you Pantodude. I appreciate your detailed help response. If you look more closely at the advertising on his ebay listings, you’ll find the name of the business, Atlanta Classic Comics, and their website. I searched for reviews of this business. Some people in the reviews claim they gave the owner their entire collection to sell and never saw a penny of it, and that he stopped communication. I appreciate your help with the photos. The glare minimization makes total sense to me. Appreciate your time.

Hello,

I’m looking to acquire a 2.0-2.5. Found a 2.0 on Ebay listed at $12,399.60. Atlanta Classic Comics. Seller won’t respond to questions or offers. Does anyone have experience dealing with this business? Reviews online are mixed. The bad reviews paint a shady character. Also, the photos of the book are strange, each showing half of the book. No whole book pics. And the other books they have up for sale have normal photos. 

My mutant grail ticket. Sold it in February as I needed cash, but the buyer backed out. Sold XM 2-10 instead  

Understood. Thank you for the empathy Beige, I appreciate you sharing your experience and I’m so glad to hear your wife is in remission. I am not very savvy with the web and forums. I should have thought of this beforehand, it was careless. Unfortunately, I had collected my two childhood faves to replace my dad’s old comics (left to me) that burned in a fire...DD 1-6 and X-Men 1-10. Now have to let them go. But it was great to have them for the time I did. Thanks for the support, it is very much appreciated. 

I see. I’ll go ahead and remove it. Thanks everyone for your thoughtfulness. Sincere apologies

Hello Beige,

Yes, unfortunately I am a newbie and was just trying to get the best price for my wife and I as we are in a pinch with insurance not paying for off label Stage IV cancer medical treatments. I didn’t realize that ending EBay listing early if I sell to someone else was not allowed. Can someone please tell me where I’m off here? We live in Portland, but in Utah for medical treatments. I apologize for the offense.

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your support. Crunch time for me ❤️
