PGM: Batman 227

[divad]

I this point, I think I am going to hold out for a 7.5-8.0. When did you sell your copy Divad?

 

A couple of years back to a Board Member in St Louis who's never around anymore - life troubles, I believe.

Extra shipping and Id just crack it out anyways.. thanks for the heads up though

 

And the 8.0 PGX looks real nice, but asking too much.. priced as though a CGC 8.0

 

Same seller has this book at 8.0 PGX for 170 and 7.0 CGC for 120... weird..

 

Think both prices are a little high anways

evan, one of the biggest reasons to buy slabbed books is the GRADE..you know you'll be getting a 7.0 if you buy a slabbed 7.0..whether you crack it out or not...

 

you say you buy raw books to save money...well, in this transaction you lost money bc you bought a raw book (well you lost S&H) as opposed to a slabbed book...

Yea, I hear ya.. Still will wait for another copy though.. Thanks for all of the help and info guys

A Batman 227 CGC 9.0 went for $517.00 last night in the Comiclink auction, thats not too bad.

yea.. I was right . Ill be lucky to find a slabbed 8.0 I can afford right now

I believe I sold that PGX 8.0 Raw. I had it graded @ 7.5 - 8.0 If it is the same book. It is a nice 7.5 - 8.0 book. Yes, as far as I know the book is free from any and all restoration!! I will see what I can find out...

[Gone Phishin']

Wish you still had it raw... even though its a 8.0 PGX, it still is very pretty, and better looking than the CGC 7.0

 

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you originally sell it for and when?

[TFL-migration]

I upgraded when I let the 8.0 go. So I was happy the book went to a good collector. I sold it around 2.5 years ago for $70 I have a very nice raw copy now. Grades in the Solid 9.2 - 9.4 Area. OW/W pages, no restoration that I am aware of. The pages on the PGX 8.0 are very, very nice. White as can be... It's a pretty good buy actually. Even if it is in a PGX holder...

[Gone Phishin']

Nice book... I think I will be hard pressed finding a 7.5-8.0 for $70 now..

[TFL-migration]

This book may be a bit over your budget right now. But if you can swing it. I would buy it if I were you. You wont be disappointed with it... The scan on the CGC 7.0 is a bit small. But I would bet the PGX book is the better book without question...

Nice copy! Too bad about the miswrap, though, which seems to be all too common on most of the Adams Batmans and Tecs.

Just bought 2 MMC's off a board member.. In a couple weeks I will be able to look around with money in hand.

 

I asked the seller on Ebay if he had the books slabbed himself, and if he did, why chose to do one PGX and one CGC. Ill let you know what he says

[Gone Phishin']

seller is a board member!!

Looks like another board member emailed the seller after this was posted and made an offer.

 

 

F-CK ME.. I know nobody broke any rules, and I probably shouldnt have posted all of this in the forums, but damn... Morally wrong imho

That suckhs, sorry to hear this, what an asswhole .

[TFL-migration]

Actually the seller made ME an offer, not the other way around, and I took it. My intentions were to get the book and hold onto it until Gone Phishin was able to come up with the full amount.Then I was going to offer it to him. After I received the book. Maybe make $20 by selling it for $20 over what I paid for it. If that was acceptable to him...He can now kiss that idea goodbye... It was/is a good deal. So I figured at the very least I had another 227. Best case scenario was I made $20{big deal} and Gone Phishin got the book he wanted....I couldn't loose. It is a nice book and will be worth a bit more down the road.....

[Gone Phishin']

The seller and you are giving me separate stories.. But w/e, that doesnt really matter. I was just pissed at first because I thought someone was just reading this, looked at the book, and decided to contact the seller. This book was originally yours, so I am glad you were able to pick it back up. The fact of the matter is, after I saw the book on Ebay, I put up books in the market forums so I could try to snatch the book.

 

No hard feelings.
