Bob, just read your Rants & Raves, as always very entertaining and insightful.

- I'll keep in mind the bathroom break/coffee comment next time I see you at a convention.

- It is sad but true that I, as a buyer, often assume there must be something wrong with a nice raw book on a dealer's wall. Unfortunately, while it may not be true with you, it happens.

- I am guilty of buying something from you on E-Bay with a Make an Offer instead of contacting you directly. Shame on me, I'm glad you mentioned it.

I regret seeing my AF #15 9.2 in an auction. Should I have started a thread that when I sold it I assumed that I could buy it back?

 

What if the buyer told you he'd give you first dibs if he/she ever decided to sell...how would you feel then???

This is nothing new here on the boards. People ask. People promise. People forget. True favors don't come with strings attached anyways.

 

The biggest problem with selling a book is that one no longer has a controlling interest in its destiny. Furthermore, when one PMs the supposed interested party, nine times out of ten, they have already purchased a copy of said book, act like they are doing you a favor by purchasing it back or aren't in a financial position to purchase at all. Such is life and I have come to terms with it.

Hopefully Jim doesn't mind a slight title change as this thread should stay alive. Its filled with amazing examples from the pedigree and hopefully many more will be contributed here.

Got it off of Heritage a while back.

 

Was that yours?

 

Pages look snow white and without that tiny chip the book would be a 9.2/9.4

Yes indeed. The orange HUNDU on a dark brown background really pops out at ya! These early pre-hero Strange Tales (70-79) are some of the best examples of pre-hero art and stories!

And the most difficult to find in high grade
