showcase22gr1959 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) I thought that the results were a bit mixed, to be honest. The highest graded earlier issues went for decent coin, but I kind of expected the #9 (1st Sinestro cover) and #6 (did not meet reserve) to go higher. It was interesting to see the 9.4 GL #76 did not meet reserve or break $8K. It is a great looking copy, but I guess the lack of opportunity to maximize its value with a quick press and flip probably held it back. I wouldn't be surprise a 9.8 will show up someday. GL 76 is a great book to have, but seeing one and a half dozen 9.4 on the census...doesn't make me jump up to pay over $10K for...at least at this moment.

Agree with you on the #9. In my buying days, I would've bid more than the winning bid. For all we know, the winning bidder was willing to bid more, but no one pushed him up. It was interesting to see the 9.4 GL #76 did not meet reserve or break $8K Why would you expect increased supply to result in a bounce back in prices?

kimik Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Why would you expect increased supply to result in a bounce back in prices? It was a relatively nicely centered copy with White pages and if the press and flip gang was 100% certain it had been untouched then it would have probably gone for more. This is why I had my original price range at $7-$8 K on it. My rationale was simple - since Doug/his consignors have done the press and flip so often there was likely no room to "upgrade" the book any further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am nether the buyer or seller so don't pull any punches. don't know what people were thinking for this book- but based on other results this is the deadest "hot" title ever. the #9 9.2 went for 60% less than the last sale (probably because it looked like an overgraded POS). i picked up the #25 for exactly half the last GPA sale (and i probably overpaid). the #4 9.4 (a terrible looking 9.4) went for less than the MC 9.2.
