Epting is awesome. If I can commission him again i will ask for the red skull. He drew one for my friend and he like went off on the book and got so into it. It is beautiful. I should ask him to scan it and post it.

Roy's right...I need to look into registering myself as a charity.

 

I think when you take into consideration your upper-level pricing, time saved, no slabbing fees, no shipping back and forth to CGC, I think you come out just fine.

 

My WHAT???

 

See that 'Tec #294, the 9.6 one?

 

Sold as a 9.0 for $35 when Guide was $42.

 

The #396 and #397? Both sold for under Guide.

 

WTF you talking 'bout, Willis? :screwy:

 

Let's look at this from a $$ perspective:

 

1) Cost to ship to CGC from UK = ~$60/30 books = $2/book

 

2) Grading cost for 30 under value fast track (which these qualified for and assuming you had others to submit) = $26.10 / book (with 10% discount)

 

3) Return shipping cost = ~$100/30 books = $3.33/book or lets say $4 rounded up (guessing on the high side due to increased weight and size of box)

 

4) Amount of time to pack books, fill in forms, receive box = 3 hours with beers x $30/hr wage = $90/30books = $3/book

 

Total additional cost per book = $35.10

 

Assuming Nick's cost is what I paid, here is what his total cost per book would be:

 

Detective Comics 394 VF/NM $35.00 + $35.10 = $70.10

Detective Comics 395 VF+ $85.00 + $35.10 = $120.10

Detective Comics 396 VF+ $28.00 + $35.10 = $63.10

Detective Comics 397 VF+ $50.00 + $35.10 = $85.10

 

Total in: $338.40

 

Here are the latest GPA recorded sales for these books in the grades I received:

 

Detective Comics #394 9.6 - $375 in April 2008

Detective Comics #395 9.0 - $251 in Jan 2008

Detective Comics #396 8.5 - $36.88 in Feb 2004 ( :o Nick you would have gotten hosed on this one lol )

Detective Comics #397 9.2 - last 9.0 sold for $107.50 in Oct 2005 (last 9.2 sold for $51 in Sep 2002)

 

Total estimated sales value: $770.38

 

 

 

Cheers for that, Ryan. :foryou:

 

Somehow it's made me feel both better and worse at the same time. lol

 

Sorry, Nick. :foryou:

 

BTW, PM me a list of books you are posting in the VCC this weekend.

I still have the blank cover for Fallen Son I would like to get Cap and Red Skull on that book.

 

Red Skull is tough as nails.
