    Any one know if there is way to get a seal that provides provides proof of seal for a Marvel card tin set? I’m looking at a Marvel Series 1 tin plastic seal that is partially compromised but is still maintaining proof of seal. Is there a 3rd party seal I can get to maintain it before it further degrades? I’m open to suggestions.

    Hey guys, just wanted your opinion. I was about to purchase a seal Marvel series 1 tin and got outbid. It closed significantly higher at $537. Do ya’ll think these are a bubble still. The tins are limited to 4000.

    Is anyone seeing the new Venom 35 Clayton Crain Variant in any comic shop websites? I’m seeing preorders on ebay and I’m wondering how these guys have access to so many preorders when I can’t find them anywhere.

    Like eBay history shows no sales near what they are asking now. It was just jacked up.
  5. Mike_1
    Yeah I figured that was boosting. I think that happens a decent amount to get prices up. I just got my CGC 9.4 newstand for $1600. I no I may have overpaid a little but I wanted one from a reputable dealer and it was at a high rated comic shop in Jersey. I want the virgin Crain Venom 7 but people have doubled the price in the last 30 days.

    I was just wondering how many of guys buy raws on eBay and get them graded. What’s your success rate/ experience doing this?

    So I picked up a ASM 300 9.4 newstand, SW 8 9.6 newstand, and a 9.8 virgin variant absolute carnage. I want to send them all in for signatures. Should I be worried about them getting downgraded if I do that? They were all graded within the last 2 years.
  8. Mike_1
    Are you looking to straight up sell any of those?
  9. Mike_1
    Doesn’t seem right but that does explain it and also seems to be the only logical conclusion aside from just grader subjectivity. Thank you

    I’m keeping an eye out. I occasionally offer lower than asking. Like someone wanted 5k for 9.6 news stand. I offered what I thought was fair which is substantially less. They eventually reached out but new pics show it has a ragged cover edge which puts me off.

    Found a 9.6 ASM 300 that has a ragged edge on the top right cover. How does this go through CGC grading and get a 9.6?
  12. Mike_1
    For future reference in case prices do dip, how recently would it need to have been graded?

    I’ve decided to abandon my mission here unless prices drop substantially. Should have bought it years ago. Missed the boat I’ve decided to abandon the mission here unless prices drop substantially. I should have bought it 10 years ago and I missed the boat. No grade is worth asking to me for the grade that it is. I’ll collect something else.

    It’s just gotten dumb at this point. For it to accelerate to this degree seems euphoric... like a bubble

    A 9.8 signed Stan Lee and TM just sold for 9.5k on eBay
  16. Mike_1
    I believe 10% or something.

    It was a cbcs and they jumped since that auction and a $5900 sale on eBay. I honestly think sellers are boosting by buying copies with alt accounts. I know for sure it happened with the jordan rookies in the last year
  18. Mike_1
    I might stand correct about current prices. They have increased on average just since Sunday even though there haven’t been any significant sales on eBay. Someone actually paid under 7.5k for Stan and Todd 9.8 CGC. I haven’t looked up actual price. But a bid auction did settle at 5900 today. That must have elevated everything
  19. Mike_1
    Search unspecified. Also I’m pretty sure they are going for 4.5k on my comic shop. And again the expensive ones aren’t commonly selling for that high. They are expiring and reposting. The ones that sell with “or best offer”, you can look up the actually sales price on the source page. Only a handful have sold for like 7 or something since the beginning of the year. Most if not all are signed, otherwise they just didnt care
  20. Mike_1
    Additionally, any of those sellers asking for 7k or 10k, offer them 5k if that’s what you want to pay, one of them will take it.
  21. Mike_1
    Up to you. eBay. I’ll buy them from you at a markdown once prices deflate and the graded numbers keep climbing
  22. Mike_1
    People are asking. They aren’t selling. I’m researching the source pages for all the closing bids. The ones that sell are going for less than asking. I suspect the ones that have sold for higher were purchased by the seller to boost prices. Even if they didn’t do that, if the demand isn’t sustainable it’s not worth asking. From what I see, it isn’t sustainable. And I’ve seen 9.8s for 5k in the past week, and some have been reposting for 2 months.
  23. Mike_1
    You talking about where the edge is all jagged? Seen that on some.
  24. Mike_1
    That makes perfect sense and it would definitely drive me nuts. I was looking for that and also cover misalignment with the rest of the book. I hadn’t the misalignment above that obvious before.
  25. Mike_1
    So you think 5 for a signed 9.8 is reasonable? Thanks in advance.
