Rick, I thought you only collected High-Grade JLA's....don't bid on this piece of garbage...CGC 9.0 is pretty much mid-grade.... (at least Paperheart only collects 9.2 and above, and Tim only collects 9.8 )

Has anyone ever gotten a back cover scan from ComicLink?....I'd like to see the back cover.... I'd also like a better look at the upper staple, is the staple "biting into the book"

Here's the JLA #1...photo now available... http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fsearch%2Easp%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Djustice%2Bleague%2Bof%2Bamerica%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item%5F771606&id=771606 What do you think? Looks like a pretty good 9.0 copy.... Not sure what to make of the upper staple though...

Hopefully it has good QP.... Watch for some JLA's to come up for sale in the near future... Make me an offer...the only book that would be off the table from my CGC registry set would be #83 in CGC 9.6 (highest graded) and very hard to replace...

JLA fans, Is this a CGC 9.4 potential or no? I'm thinking 9.0-9.2 (but I have seen some 9.4's that look like this) Advertised grade is 9.4....what do you think? http://www.metropoliscomics.com/bookDetail.php?id=119236&enlarge=2

Apparently, too many. Why don't you guys try marvel...I hear Spider-Man's pretty popular? Rick

I'll pay more than $6001 for a 9.6 copy. Someone refresh my memory...about a couple years ago there was a Pacific Coast JLA #22 on sale on comic link...I can't remember if it was a CGC 9.4 or 9.6, but it sold for $8,000....it was already sold by the time I checked the site... It was a 9.6 copy. and as the Python's would say, it was very nice (with a French accent). Thanks Dover (thumbs u

stick to noticing 9.4's and leave the dregs for us little guys. A 9.2 #24 is like a 9.4 of any other book. someone got a steal the last time this book appeared based on the price this go round. i was the unfortunate underbidder. i believe spookley bought it. You weren`t even willing to go 2X guide on this book? If spookley won it, he got a good deal. I won it the last go around for I think $400...9.2 with white pages... That's a great deal! Never noticed the scarcity of this book in NM before. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Pretty much just 1-20 at this point. Tim, Let me know if you find any raw high-grade copies of JLA #86....I have been seeking them out, but usually the ones I see for sale (raw) are more like an 8.5 than NM. Any guess on how many high-grade JLA collectors are out there? It seems most collect #1-30....after that, the later issues are pretty easy to pick up unless it is very rare in high-grade (9.4 or up)...ie: issues #46, 59, 62, 75, 83, 86, 93....most of these have black covers...

By the way, Tim...what JLA issues do you collect up to...1965 and earlier or the #1-100 run?

Haven't been on the boards for....I think almost 6 months... How did we let the JLA collecting thread fall off the first page... Been really busy with work, family, etc....but I am now getting withdrawal symptoms and feel I must buy something.... Hope to start filling in my #1-100 run and ditch the 101-261 run..... johnny P.S.----I'm glad I don't collect TTA #59, or Rocky Mountain FF's, or AF #15's.... JLA's seem to have cooled off a little....well at least compared to silver age Marvels....

Post-Auction Sales from Pedigree Comics: Justice League #1 CGC 9.6 $75,000 Justice League #2 CGC 9.6 $15,000 Justice League #3 CGC 9.4 $15,000 Pedigree post-auction sales

Not sure...Last 8.5 sold for $6K+...maybe somewhere between $6K and 8K?

This was a sale made to a good customer last month. Stunning 9.0. (thumbs u

Yep, I remember those. Wish I had had some freed up cash to win those back then. I think if they came up for sale now, it would hit 15K...the 9.2 (toth copy) just sold for almost $36K... Also, I can't remember (for those 9.0 copies) what the next incremental bid would have been... There are always books in auction that I wish I could buy at the final sale price, but was unwilling to go another increment...

TeddieMercede is absolutely right...I went to e-bay to check it out and that is the same BB 28 that has been on e-bay and other sites multiple times... I checked GPA and the last BB 28 in CGC 8.0 sold in 11/07 for just over $4200. $5000 is probably a good price for BB 28 in 8.0 if it had at least off-white to white pages and no distributor mark (that is a big eye sore)... I also agree that JLA #1 is hotter... It seems BB #28 is hot if it is ultra-high grade (ie: CGC 9.0 or better) or if it is low-to-mid grade and affordable. There was a BB 28 CGC 7.0 that sat on Blazing Bob's site (highgradecomics.com) for a good price for much longer than I thought it would...

Cappel, There was a JLA #1 CGC 8.5 Bethlehem Pedigree that sold in a ComicLink auction a few months ago. I believe it sold for $6K+ P.S.---Comiclink does not send in their sales to GPA I was watching that auction closely and would have bid more aggressively, but I didn't like the date stamp on the cover...

I got a reply from Gpanalysis....the JLA #1 CGC 9.0, they say was sold by Quality Comix....I have checked Brent's site every week or so and never saw it for sale....any thing else you can add to this, Brent?

Nope. if you're a subscriber, email them and they will tell you Or PM George on the boards. I did that before and he even linked me to all the auctions. Thanks (thumbs u

Nope.

I was looking through Gpanalysis.com tonight and noticed a sale....JLA #1 CGC 9.0 for $16K+ in May 2008........anyone see this up for sale??? ...totally missed out on that one

You're gonna need more than a crowbar to pry most -if not all- of these books away from their current owners (2 of the books on your list are up there, Johnny). Rick

Yeah, but if expense is an issue in collecting 9.4 and above, then falling back to "only" B&B 28, JLA 1, 3, 6, 10, 21, 22, 29 and 30 in 9.4 isn't going to help you much either. The cost of acquiring the rest of the entire JLA run in 9.4 is going to be less than the cost of acquiring just those books. You are right, I will have to settle for 9.0 or 9.2 copies of the first 5, and probably 9.2 for the 22 as well

I've been going back and forth about lowering my grade standard, but I have developed a severe case of "tth2-itis" over the past year. and those Toth books are not helping my recovery from this paralyzing, agonizing, illness.....
