So what is anything between 36K-40K considered... a steal.

What's an Action 1 .5 Ep worth these days?

Both are nice copies, but I like Roy's better. It looks like the Clink copy will be the big book of the auction.

You crackers are adrenaline junkies.

Then I won't be taking it. Too many other things available for that money. I am not a fan of the white stripe.

I think 19 will take it.

One cut bid more?

One of my fav EC's - crack and read that bad boy! For all the "oversupply" of high grade Gaines Files copies you don't see a lot of copies coming up for sale in the auctions. In the CL auction this month there is only 4 or 5 issues. Are you guys hoarding?

There is no reason to take a risk on ungraded books. I find my wants amongst the slabs is more than resources.

How do guys like that stay in business.

Go for it. We need new members.

It's raw on ebay. Avoid.

10K is the point most will start thinking and 25K is really hard to swallow. Did you recall what was the PQ for that SC4 8.0? Old label OW. A little bit of a miswrap.

this book was posted earlier in this thread last year but I saved the image FantasticFour posted it and according to him, all the 9.6 and 9.8 are white pagers. I don't recall seeing a 9.0 to 9.4 in white pages in the past 2 years...at least not in any of the auctions or Ebay. As far as checking the rest, the only way i know is to use GPA and gets all the cert # and then check them one by one...too much hassle for me I WOW! That is an INSANE book! Thats FantasticFours book?!? It does seem that there is an inordinate amount of ow/w X1's but i cant remember ever seeing a white pages one. I really thought my 8.5 had a chance at white but it came back ow/w. I think on a resub, i would have close to a 50/50 shot at getting white. I could never do it though since theres WAY too high a chance it comes back a 8.0 the 2nd time around. No way imo i could ever get a 9.0 so the grade could only stay the same or go down. Not worth the risk for a PQ bump but seeing that list, it sure would be nice to have a 8.5w! The Xmen 1 PC W pages now resides in a 9.8 holder. You can see the book in Pedigree's Vault. Was slabbed as a 9.6 without the Pacific Coast designation. Schmell managed to convince CGC that this book and others not sold by Pacific Comic Exchange were also part of the Pacific Coast Collection. This book is now in a 9.8 holder? Did the Pacific Coast collection have in some instances multiple copies of certain issues? To answer some questions: The Xmen 1 Wht Pages 9.6 , 9.8 is from the Pacific Coast Collection. There were 2 Xmen 1's in 9.6. One with White Pages the other OW to W. The were multiples of many books purchased from the OO that he did not sell to Rob Roter. I slabbed this X men 1 9.6 - 9.8 and am probably one of the few people to see it out of the holder. I also read the book! The cover of the Xmen 1 is translucent and appears oily, if that makes sense to you all. After I received it I sent it to a friend of mine to look at to see if I should keep it or send it back. When he offerred to buy it, I kept it. The Pacific Coast 9.6 Wht now 9.8 was held side by side with the 9.8 Curator copy. No comparision the Curator is by far a nicer book. If you like Oily, Translucent, Off White Covers and a structually near perfect book. This might be for you. Those scans have been lightened as the cover doesn't look that white in hand from what I remember or it could be the screen on my laptop. Best That is a great story. It harkens back to a different time. Now almost every thing is bought at auction in slabs. Then you could hold the books. God forbid you could even read them. You could compare a Rolls Royce to an Aston Martin and make a choice. It would be awesome to see them in person side by side. Dealers have such an advantage in this.

I think the barrier becomes more difficult when you hit 25K. I think at the 10K mark if it is a key there are plenty of buyers. I don't think there is any issue selling a SC 4 8.0 and below if you sell at GPA prices. Comic Link had one two years ago that showed up in the general section and it was gone at asking price within two hours. I did not even get a chance to lowball the seller.

Here is your big chance to get it back http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280626976525&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT He did not even change the ad. Is this legit or is it a swipe?

That name has several connotations in it.

They stole my idea.

Booyah.

+1 It's funny you suggest that. I had the crazy idea in the 90s of getting 20 people to buy a Ferrari 328/308 together and everyone would get it two weeks per year. We would share costs, limit mileage, and it would be really cool. It was my version of Kramerica.

I would love to. The 9.2 is a really nice book and is much malligned for various reasons but whoever it sells to they will have a gigantic silver age book that is only matched by maybe two dozen books and maybe only 10 other DC silver age books.

Certainly more on CL, probably not much more on Ebay. He needs to wait a year, for me to be ready.

Well the 7.5 on ebay only sold for 12,601 in Nov. and that was a real nice copy. I think it had OW pages as well and was well centered. I thought it was a bargain. I had a snipe bid that did not get in.

He's back. Didn't you know- National Signing Day was last Wednesday.
