Hi,

 

I bought this at heritage Comics about 4 years ago and i am the owner and seller. Thank you.

Welcome to the Boards good luck with your sale

Thank you.

The buyer is: cyrusjewelers10950 Mostly very small stuff. Doesn't look right to me. $52,600 was the final number. I hope this is a legit. buyer. Something tells me it's a bit fishy though.

I have emailed afshin that if the winner is a "thrill" bidder, to let me know, as I am still interested in the book (just not at that price!)

well now that i see a full blown scan it does look like a 3.5

[The Black Hand ®]

That's what I said at the beginning. It recieved an icon bump in grade,

[action1kid]

compare it to esquires 5.5 sale or comiclinks 5.0 sale, both pics are on the net and arethe closet grades to this copy if you want a side by side idea of what something over 4.0 should look like

you mean goose bumps...supes 1s do that.

[batman_fan]

I definitely think the book was overgraded.

[Dark Knight]

Not as worst as that Action 1 graded as a 2.5 with that huge piece missing on the FC

[afmon2006-migration]

Dont think you guys are rigt. Even though i sold it and dont own it anymore, it definetly deserved the grading. What ever it lacked in the front poge more than was made up for by the interior and back cover. If not for the cover it was easily a 6+. sacentaur saw the book and he agreed with the grading(anyways thats what he said to me).

the book looks technically like a VG+ to me......I think that foxing is a big turn off for a lot of collectors, VS. color breaking creases or spine splits, which can also make a VG+ a VG+. Foxing is just down right unattractive ( nothing against your book ).

 

Think you will stick around and keep posting in our little world here afmon?

I don't know if "if not for" is the right way to look at grading. After all, the front cover is a big part of the grade. There are some dealers who use that rational. "If not for a two inch tear this book is a vg/fine". Well, that doesn't work for me, because there is a two inch tear that brings the grade down to a vg. See what I mean.

Right. I think the Action 1 is a case of:

 

1. Large piece off of FC, Otherwise 2.5.

 

2. Someone knew someone.

 

3. Icon grading bump.

 

4. All of the above

 

What do you guys think?

[action1kid]

My call at 3.5 was for the cover alone.If the pages are really nice and the back cover is clean, its possible it is a 4.5. I never saw the back cover!

[action1kid]

The above Action 1 mentioned was a 1.5 to 2.0 to me

[G.A.tor]

I think 1.8 would be "ok", but I would lean more towards 1.5...on a bright sunshinny day, I would consent to a 2.0!

Thats exactly my point. It was to be a FN+ and the "2 inch tear" brought it down to the VG.
