Jay Parrino's website updated...finally!

[Timely]

Well after nearly two years "The Mint" website of Parrino's is finally updated. Most of the Mile Highs on his website I sold him, so feel free to ask me any questions regarding the condition of those books if you have interest!

Did he pay you in cash?

I liked the older design of his site better. Lots of nice comics on there though.

[murph0]

With not-so-nice prices, well that is, on the books I was looking at.

The deal was made through a third party, it was not cash, it was check!

A check eh? Sounds like the guy can live up to his million dollar offer then!

As the saying goes, he has more money then god. Of course at the prices on those books he would need it since they are in the stratosphere!!!!!!!!!

 

 

[Bronty]

Yowch, no kidding. Note also that the pay copy prices are not listed!

I was interested in some books on his site in the past. Funny, he won't even acknowledge an email unless its at his price. I remember about a year or so ago, the books he couldn't sell at the prices he showed ended up in the heritage auction and did sell at the "market" prices instead of the "Parrino" market prices. Sure hope that happens again. Would love to have that Spidey 3

Yeh, Heritage would be about the only way I'd ever buy from Parrino again. If he can't sell it at his price on his site, than he reams you with shippin costs through eBay.

I had to pay $35 shipping. It was one CGC graded book, but the box weighed a ton. He included that huge $50 catalogue of his, and I've been on his mailing list for all the comic related stuff ever since. So the $35 shipping ended up being worth it, as I've received every single comic catalogue he's produced since 2001.

me too...but theres not much else up there Im interested. The Tec 38 is sweet, but of course not at that price. the Cap#1 maybe, but at an 8.5, arent there "plenty" of better copies?

A Date With Judy # 3 in NM+ 9.6 for $1,200 hehe

Only 12x the NM 9.4 price in Overstreet..!! What do you think Chuck first sold that issue for - maybe $2 ?

 

It's to the point where anything from the Church collection is at least 10x guide in NM or better...which in a way I understand; it's one of a handful of pedigrees that truly justifies a premium through the name alone.

 

But still, this is nuts. Most stuff in NM 9.4 is 10-12x guide. Most of the stuff in 9.6 is 15x guide... What would the entire Church collection - 22,000 books - be worth today if reassembled in all their glory? $50 million? More?

[Aman619]

if you dont need th emoney you can certainly hold out for whatever price floats your boat...

[murph0]

I didn't get that, but I definately have been getting loads of coin junk mail from them. Long story short, I'm a little perturbed.

Church collection was 22,000 books?? I thought is was around 8,000

That's weird that you're getting the coin junk instead of the Comic stuff. You've missed out on a lot of sweet catalogues. Your name must have been put on the wrong list by mistake.

[murph0]

I guess I did get 2 catalogs that had some comics in it. But it was still mostly coins. I usually give them to my uncle as he's a coin collector. I can understand looking at comics in a magazine but looking at coins.... ?

 

Brian

[COI]

As much as I don't understand the appeal of coins, I understand the appeal of currency even less. The only piece of currency that is remotely interesting are those $10,000 bills from Vegas.

How is this off-topic? Everything on Jay's site is pretty much Church pedigree. There were 22,000+ books in the collection, according to Matt Nelson's account (as told to him by Rozanski and the initial buyers from Rozanski).
