I hope it is a 1st printing for that kind of loot. Never designated on the Cgc label. :wishluck:

 

If it isn't designated on the label, that means it is a first printing. CGC only designates later printings, variants, and things like that.

 

I understand the reasoning behind it, but would it really be that hard to put first edition on the label? People like to see it, makes them feel all safe and happy.

 

And regarding the price, will it sell for that ? Doubtful, but why not ask insane money and see if someone bites? If listed for much less and sold right away the seller would kick themselves.

 

 

Sometimes second printings don't come out until well after the initial printing was released. In that case, CGC will have graded dozens of copies of a particular book without knowing that a second printing is going to exist, so the label on those copies won't have any notation of what printing the book is. If they were to start putting "first printing" on the labels of first printings after they realized a second printing was being released, you'd have a bunch of first printing books with "first printing" on them and a bunch without, and then people would complain about that.

I have a price in mind, but it's less than a third of his asking. He may be having buyer's remorse and is simply shooting for the moon. He did the same thing with his 9.6Q right after buying the 9.8. Initial price was $5K on ComicLink. About a month later it chipped away to $2K, then ended up as an eBay auction for a winning bid of $1325.

I can't be the only one who would automatically assume that seller is bananas and look for a better deal elsewhere? It's kind of like looking at a Dodge Neon on a car dealership lot with a $50,000 sign on it.

Not defending the price, but this is a poor analogy given that there is only one 9.8 for a key book that is notoriously hard to find in high grade (not to mention unsigned).

It doesn't cost him anything to list it, does it?

 

 

Seems more like masturbation than a real attempt to sell a book imho.

I don't think he'd accept $4k so you're safe I guess.
