abracadabra Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Anyone on here win that ebay Crow set tonight? It looked decent. 1, 3, & 4 looked like they could be in the 9.0 to 9.4 range. Some slightly rounded corners but nice nonetheless. Jim/luke_19-10 was a serious overgrader in the past, and would fail to tell bidders about creased back covers - heck, he wouldn't even take the book out of the bag to check. I hope he has changed his ways. But I would never buy books from him again. That's why I didn't bid. I wasn't familiar with him but when he sent me pics I could see his CP 1 had multiple color breaking spine creases and he had that graded at NM+.

Bosco685 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 He got me on a few books that then he offered to end the auction and sell them outside of eBay. BIG MISTAKE! I learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 I hope so. I like the original series a little. Nick that's a beautiful set of books,for sure Thanks folks. It was definitely a labor of love tracking all those books down, with two years of searching. And trust me, there were more false starts with misgraded book sales than I care to count. But it was well worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pathetic thing is that there are no other titles that I've actively searched for in high grade. Not one. The Crow is it. I've done the "crow -fox" search on ebay at least twice a day for years... But you give me hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you give me hope! Engaging with many, many, many, many sellers and constantly reminding them how much I was interested in Crow books, and to let me know if they found anything at all. The only book that has escaped me is a second Caliber Presents 15, but it is more due to hoarders ( ) than it is scarcity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I feel almost bad I asked Nick to sell me a complete set one day,half jokingly because I knew they are kind of hard to come by.Nick was the greatest and sold me a complete Caliber#1,Crow #1-4 and Caliber Christmas#1 and I think we hashed out the sale in 5 minutes,I could'nt believe my luck.No years of searching for me...................Sometimes I guess you do have to be in the right place at the right time.

Oh don't get me wrong, I've had close to 30 sets come and go through my collection. Probably 50+ copies of #1 1st prints. I LOVE the hunt so don't feel almost bad! When I say searching for 18 years I'm talking about trying to find NM/M quality. Since the series first started being rereleased by Tundra I have searched for near perfect copies of the Caliber series at shops and conventions. Even during a 6 year hiatus I took off from comics, I would still go into comic shops across the US (I used to tour with my brother's band) and look for high grade copies of The Crow. I've emailed probably 80% of the couple 100 stores/dealers listed on cgc's website (the other 20% I either couldn't find contact info or my email got returned to me since their address was no longer active). Nothing. But I think you are right, sometimes it's all about the right place at the right time. Sometimes you get lucky and other times when you are 13 years old you trade a NM- '86 Fleer Jordan Rookie card for a F/VF set of The Crow. I haven't been in the right place thus far when it comes to NM/M #'s 1, 3, and CP 15, but I will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
