Dark Knight

Does he still need to pay a fee to Heritage since it was up for auction? I'm thinking he still does. I also don't understand, if true, why the need to buy the book back because the book would have sold for a nice price still if going with the underbidder bid. I would've been happy with that price especially in what is happening in the world right now.

Or you can stick anal tube up your behind and go to the bathroom that way without using toilet paper. Problem solved.

Yes because it will whiten the pages

Yeah not liking the search function for the new CC site. When the Tec 27 was up for sale, I typed in "Detective Comics" and nothing showed up for that book. I then typed in the full Detective Comics 27 and it did show up. I guess for now you have to be specific about what book you are currently searching.

Could it also mean it was sold?

I'd vote for Roy. My vote is for Pedro

With water, you can buy some sort of filtration system and filter tap water in case bottle water is out

NBA suspended for rest of the season

Yeah that's true too. Happened to me a few times before. It's weird how that happens.

Well to him it doesn't. There's been a lot of debate between one board member after another arguing about this and he will not change his thinking at all. He will stick to his thoughts and not side with the masses nor people who have been in this hobby for a long time as dealers, collectors, etc.

Well, you will if he chimes in . Basically his argument is that it doesn't matter what the page quality of the book is (except for brittle), there is really no premium price between say a white paged copy vs. cream-offwhite copy if you have the same kind of book side by side with the same kind of defects.

Shhhh.. you don't want Jaydog to storm in this thread

Could it be possible that when you dropped it off in their booth and when you walked away that someone may have stolen it from under their nose?

Me too! Maybe just going for one day. We'll see how it is next month.

Beware of fake copies of high end vintage sports cards too! The most reprinted I would have to say is the 86 Fleer Jordan rookies. A lot of them are almost the exact same thing like the original and you would need to know what to look for to it being a reprint. I got scammed once when I bought a PSA graded 86 Fleer Jordan rookie and the card inside is a fake. After having countless discussions with sportscard collectors about this, to make the long story short, the actual PSA holder was also a fake!

What's wrong with taking baths?

Screw Purell lol. I heard that is ineffective against viruses!! Need to invest in this especially before handling slabbed books. I'll be wiping em down with one of these

I'm sure if these same books sold back in 2017 or early 2018, the total would've been higher . Sure, there were quite a few big books in this auction, but it doesn't mean everything sold for a "great" price.

Aww man that's so awesome! I've always wanted this since I was a kid, but never see em in toy stores. I actually prefer this than the lions

Was thinking that too. It also falls on Easter weekend so I predict attendance wouldn't be busy

Not all are standard sizes. There are some oversized cards and some thicker than others. Also forgot to mention that some of those thick cards (often times the higher end ones) that hold a piece of jersey in them are being swapped out by just common jersey pieces with a nice patch or a logo of some sort to raise the eye appeal better and "value" for buyers. A lot of these factory packed jersey cards are usually the boring one color maybe two color kind. Some of these scammers are instead replacing them with ones I mentioned above and yet BGS would give it a universal grade without them knowing. To me it's a mystery as to how they can't detect trimmed cards as well as swapped out jersey cards.

Also here in LA there are several cases.. One that sticks out is a airport screener who was infected after wearing the proper attire for coronavirus!? I dunno how he couldve been in contact with the virus but, he did. Who knows how many people have been in contact with his thereafter. Also I think I heard something about a father and son with the virus who flew from some country to LAX.. who knows how many onboard the plane were infected!? Just craziness!?

I heard at the Wuhan WonderCon show, attendees are receiving free hazmat suits, gloves and masks (just need to bring your own toilet paper)

I dont follow all sports cards, mainly just modern basketball. I can tell you right now that this year's rookie class is hot hot hot! All basketball retail boxes being scooped up quick in Target and Walmart. Collectors/investors paying top dollar for higher end boxes/cases. Everyone wants a piece of Zionmania even non sports cards people. Lebron James rookies are one of the hottest cards people are buying, same with Luka and Kobe. People are now paying around $7k for Lebron's PSA 10 chrome rookie cards (a couple months ago, they were going for around $2k!). Looks like vintage cards and memorabilia are doing pretty well too! Not everything though is gravy in the cars world. Some out there are trimming their cards to achieve 10s. PSA and BGS for some reason cannot catch these trimmed cards and have been caught grading what once were 8s or 9s are now 10s. There are a lot of cases with this, which puts collecting cards at a higher risk in the long run I believe. But yeah those are my thoughts.
