Bomber-Bob Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Been awhile since anybody has posted new buys. I just received this one from C-link. Does anyone think this book was a little undergraded? I did not notice any defects on the backcover. Looks like a solid 8.5 to me. I would check with the graders' notes to see whether anyone gave it a 9.2 on the first go round. If yes, crack it, pancake it, and resub it. FYI, if it was submitted with an Economy Tier they no longer keep grader's notes. I see a small corner abrasion bottom left,some spine ticks, and a little stress at the staples. I wouldn't press for fear of damaging those staple stresses, it may cause damage. Maybe a 9.2 on a straight resub but probably not worth it. Just enjoy the tremendous eye of this gorgeous 9.0 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 i see the mound city #4 got pancaked into a 9.4. was fugly before. still just as fugly w/a different # on top now http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fsearch%2Easp%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Dgreen%2Blantern%2B%26x%3D14%26y%3D14%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item%5F837797&id=837797 That book looks absolutely terrible. It may be a technical 9.4 but it has no eye appeal. It looks so FLAT....another one of them flippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Nope. I sold my copy via a PM offer from another boardie. (thumbs u You must did quite well... . I think this copy should do okay, but would have done better late last year. I will have to stay content with this copy (bought as a FN-) that just came in for now. If only it did not have the back edge chipping. However, at the price I paid it is definitely worth it. Edited March 4, 2010 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a technical 9.4 but it has no eye appeal. Hopefully the consignor will do as well as the consignor of the MC SC 22 that went from a 8.0 to 8.5. Unfortunately, the jump from 9.2 to 9.4 is more significant than 8.0 to 8.5, so the seller will undoubtedly do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you bought it low, then thumbs up. (thumbs u Edited March 4, 2010 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro. Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Great books in this thread guys. I've often contemplated put together a SA run of GL, but other comics now command my focus. One grail for me though would be the OA for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUff_mOnkEy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just got this in yesterday, courtesy of Comix4fun (Chris).....Best book in my collection.....as of now Congrats and nice PQ!!! It is definitely a beauty, though I think you might have been cheated out of an extra 0.5 points. It's been frustrating, though at the same time a relief of sorts, to passively watch as others have been so actively continuing to add great books one after the other to their collections while I took last year off. It is good to be back, however. You have no idea how hard it was to abstain when it seemed like there were so many amazing books added to the CGC census in 2009. BTW, hi Tim.

kimik Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Looking at this 7.0 makes me wonder where all of the other 6.0 - 7.5 copies that were abundany last year have ended up. You would see 7.0 copies in every auction and on the bay, but the supply is downright pitiful right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when the movie nears, copies will come out of the wood works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
