How much to buy one at a time...

Worth it or not:

The fact that #1 and #14 are NOT graded though is a little odd, don't you think

[aaron568]

i saw that lot and i would say if 1 was graded it may be worth it

Definitely. Let's do a little reading between the lines, shall we?

 

"ALL, except for two issues, are CGC CERTIFIED and guaranteed Non-Restored. "

 

The only black-and-white representation this statement makes is that the graded books are unrestored. i.e. it can be interpreted as: "all issues, except two, are guaranteed non-restored" or as "all issues are unrestored, two are not graded". I'm betting heavily on the former.

 

"However, I guarantee #1 was not trimmed or color touched."

 

Notice there is no representation as to other forms of restoration. Notice also that there are no representations whatsoever made with respect to whether or not #14 is restored.

 

 

Soooo....... expect a #1 with a tear seal/ pieces added and a #14 with color touch and trim

ASM 1 & 14 may have been cleaned, pressed, reinforced. Married centerfold? Email the seller for more details before u bid.

From the auction: The cost to CGC grade and holder 101 books was over $5000.00

 

Isn't that about $50 per book...yikes... guess he doesn't know about the 20% discount or the economy grading tier...

Another issue I have is the Page Quality of the nicer books.

 

There is a huge price difference for Cream to Off-White and White pages.

I have been watching for any feedback comments from either side in this auction and as of today, still no posts yet. Maybe some "bugs" are being worked out. Successfully I hope!
