A lesson in patience....which I have none of.....jeesh

[kryptonitecomics]

So I bought a nice black covered edition of Jamboree Comics #1 CGC 8.0

 

 

 

....I just like the way the colorful characters popped off the black background. I then realized that there were only 3 books in the whole run so I set out to acquire the other two copies. Instead of being patient and waiting for the right book to come along I found raw copies of issue #2 and issue #3 in grades that matched or hopefully surpassed my copy of #1.

 

Both copies had BIN's that seemed fair considering the listed guide price so I made my move and was very pleased I had completed the run in a few weeks This copy of #2 was listed as a VF/NM 9.0 and it cost me $150

 

 

(Both sellers did nothing wrong so don't mistake my thread to be an attack on the sellers as both were outstanding)

 

but.....

 

In the very next Heritage auction I saw some CGC graded copies and decided to throw a lowball bid on a CGC 9.2 Jamboree #2.....and won it for $65 So with the juice and shipping I am paying around $87....so half the price of a raw potentially 9.0 example I am excited about the book and I think I totally ripped it for the price but maybe I am the only one who gives a darn about this title

 

Here it is

 

 

I am the only one to blame as I have never been patient with comic, coin, or card purchases etc....so hopefully others will learn from my mistake and realize that with a little patience.....comes big rewards

 

Well any way at least I like the books but now it would seem stupid to send off the issue #2 for certification as I have one already in a higher grade so it will remain raw. (thumbs u

 

 

If others have had similar experience please share so that others may gain the knowledge....and also so I won't feel like a nimrod by myself

one thing to consider, is that there was a large stash of NM Jamboree's that were discovered not to long ago...so, I believe the supply exceeds demand at "higher" prices... patience on this run will pay off (thumbs u

Now you tell me lol

 

 

maybe I should have asked someone before jumping in

it is not all 3 issues, 1 of them is still "tough" I believe...but 2 of the 3 were found in pretty good quantities (100's of each, I seem to recall)

Don't knock yourself out too much, there still nice books to look at. And asking about buying sounds good after the fact, but really, do you want to "ask" each and every time before you buy a book? Sounds kind of boring to me..........

 

Just enjoy your pretty golden age black cover books!

I've always thought #3 was the harder one to find. 1 and 2 seem to be everywhere.

I think they are great books too, and intend on getting them some day, but yeah the find really knocked the wind out of the price for a while. Enjoy them! At least it wasn't $1k difference

I believe it's the #1 with the large stash found

someone in SD had a stack of 2 diff ones a few years ago...maybe one stash was larger than the other, but I saw at least 20 copies of 2 diff ones, just didn't note "which"...

The first two were the warehouse finds, and are pretty common given the census numbers. I sold two raw NM+ copies not long ago, for substantially less than guide.

There is a list somewhere on here of warehouse find books. It's actually a really important thing to look into, as some common books still have huge guide values like Ghost Rider 1 (ME). Formerly scarce issues like Warrior Comics 1 (listed as a Gerber 8) can also be misleading. It's not particularly hard to find, but the high scarcity index number throws people off and can drive up prices.

I have a number 3 that I picked up from Diamond but I don't think it's going to grade as high as they listed it for.....believe I bought it as a VF 8.0 but I don't think NGC will give it the nod
