It was graded as 5.5 (still highest graded) and promptly resold for $717.00. Those days are over. I saw it the second it came up on adamstrange thread and wasted time with PMs and then it went.

Ah, ok. From adamstrange to a board buyer to CLink? Nice flip. I have this one. Obviously, the number right on her forehead is an issue. I just had some success with CCS removing pencil marks from another book. But that was in a white area. I wonder if they could remove this writing without a loss of color?

I figured it would be in the $15K range and might make $20K, but $25K surprised me. I was saying to another boardie that I think the GGA rather than the Baker angle drove it to that level and that a CL 25 in the same condition/ped wouldn't end that high, but I could easily be wrong.

Sqeggs Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Well, it won't hurt, that's for sure. But that book was so out there compared with the next highest graded copies being two 7.0s and being a Church copy and having white pages and being well-centered .... So, if another mid-grade copy comes up, it may get a bit of a bump, but won't soar, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book has had a 25-50% bump but not the 2-3X move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are just nuts across the board for anything good, and I don't think it will continue long-term. F/VF copies of random Cole Blue Bolts went for $1500+. Any decent silver key goes for 2-20x what it did just a few years ago. Classic horror books sell for up to 10x what they brought in 2013/2014. etc, etc, etc Edited September 15, 2017 by october torontodesignguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
