  1. That is also likely a QC issue. CGC slabs a lot of books. As Vintagecomics keeps reiterating, ANY glue on a post-1950 book, regardless of perceived intent, is an automatic PLOD. Same goes with colour touch. Any SA book with "small amount of colour touch" on the label in a blue label has also slipped past QC (I have seen a handful of those as well). -J. I agree with this. This is also what I know to my knowledge regarding SA books and color touch/glue = automatic purple. GA on the other hand is different. To me, it seems like CGC was aware when they typed in the small amount of glue on a blue label SA book. Just dunno how this is different from any other SA books with glue or color touch on it.
  2. Holy hammer price Batman!?! Wow what a sale!!! My personal copy is looking even better strong price to be sure, sure makes it hard for a fella to upgrade. the mega GA keys are rapidly getting out of most collectors reach. Sure is.. I think lower graded copies of major keys will mostly benefit in an upward surge faster than higher graded ones because less people have the funds to pay for higher graded copies. I think this is the effect we are seeing and will continue to see. completely agree. +1 Don't forget to put restored books in there too. Moderate and slight have been going up as well. +1 but if these books (low and restored) continue rise, it's going to pull higher grades price up even higher. It would need to, but not at the same rate as lower graded copies... Lower grades have certainly seen a much rapid rise in value. Soon coverless or missing paged copies will be the new entry level grade for collectors who cannot afford to pay mid to high 5 figures for a 1.0+ copy. I've always considered complete low graded copies as entry level.
  3. No wonder I was surprised at how the 4.0 ended so cheaply. Now I get it..

  6. Holy smokes!!! What a beauty! Gratz!!
  7. You should get one because I am beginning to feel really lonely in this club with the only copy posted Come on guys, its rare but they must exist, lets see some Flash Comics #1s Someday I hope Surprised no one else has posted a copy. Has to be a few more board members out there that own a copy.
  8. Sadly I've never owned a copy . It's definitely at the top of my wantlist.
  9. Weak price for it that's for sure. Looks like a bargain that went under the radar.
  10. Extremely . Just wait a couple years. it will explode Beautiful book Yep and this is coming from someone who doesn't have a copy at the moment.
  11. I need that number 16. I'll give you the #16 and my wife for that AF15!
  12. This.. Not to mention about the plethora of high end books in current auctions ending this month or next.
  13. Holy *#^*@!!! Is there any resto on that or is it 100% legit? Either way, fantastic pickup!!! Beautiful looking copy! Love the yellows on it! Congrats!
  14. Agreed. Was there something in particular that turned you off? Plot? Actors? Effects? I'm not going to give it 4 stars, but I have to say I really enjoyed it. I wish it were a little longer. I don't want to spoil anything but I wanted to see more of a battle between Strange and the villain towards the end of the movie. Also, I was not quite a fan of how he looked.
  15. If "great" and "enjoyed it immensely" only gets a B+, you're a pretty tough grader. Yes I am I consider Iron Man 1, Spidey 2 (McGwire), Avengers 1 + 2 to be A movies in my opinion. But, Dr. Strange was very entertaining but not quite on par with the previous movies I listed.
  16. Yep like most have said, the movie was great! I enjoyed watching it immensely. Giving it a B+
  17. My stuff seems to be working fine. Weird, mine hasn't updated since 2014 even though I've submitted hundreds of books since then. Same. I had an order last year in which I have already received the book back, but still says in progress.
  18. Why take a risk if the buyer's past feedbacks have all been items in the $10-$20 range and then all of a sudden a 5 figure item!>! Come on now, gotta be smarter than that.. I feel bad for the buyer.. I hope he gets his $ back too and that guy can burn in prison.
  19. And the price doesn't seem completely unreasonable fir a blue label 5.0 either. House or Tec 27 decisions decisions. Very tough!
