Mac Man Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 What's the market like on this book, i.e. % of guide? Found one or two copies that might be within my budget range but not sure how solid a deal they are as I'm still new to SA DC books of the non-Batman variety. unlike SC 22 back in 2008 when i was able to quietly accumulate double digit quanties, the most BB 28's I had this year was 5, and all 5 have sold and sold quickly... not really sure what guide is, but here are my sales 7.5...5K I believe 6.0...3K 5.5...2500 4.5...1300 3.0...750 all within the last few months last year I sold a 5.0 at $1250 Well, the 3.0 is actually going to be slightly over guide... if you don't factor in slabbing costs--which means it's pretty much a guide book. On the other hand, it does appear to move up a little bit in mid-grade--7.5 being just under the normal price for a 8.0 but your 6.0 admittedly sold for almost double guide.

showcase22gr1959 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The 7.5 for $5K was a steal and a 8.0 recently sold for $10K. The market now wants 1 1/2 guide on 2.0-5.0 and no bite yet....time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicConnoisseur Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wow, those are impressive numbers Rick And it seems to be very hard to find copies of B&B #28 for sale above 3.0 - 4.5. I always thought DC silver ages in that grade always looked a lot nicer then Marvels from that era, maybe because of the Marvel chipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageComics Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm a little surprised that the book graded a CGC 4.0. I thought 5.0+ Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KryptoSpidey Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm a little surprised that the book graded a CGC 4.0. I thought 5.0+ Oh well.... Be thankful that its only a $300-$400 difference between 4.0-5.0 and not a $3,000-$4,000 difference in 4.0-5.0 like an AF15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm a little surprised that the book graded a CGC 4.0. I thought 5.0+ Oh well.... It has to be that long and winding crease on the front cover. I suspect CGC treated it like a subscription crease. I never saw a graded book with a subscription crease but I presume it would be treated harshly. As a dealer, you may be better off selling it raw. I suspect the same logic was used when making it available to you raw. Did you at least get the OW-W page quality ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I believe it came back ow pages. Sub crease books generally will grade as high as 5.0-6.0 range in my experience. I bought it for a decent price but was still surprised at the grade. They seem to have tightened up a little lately, as I was off on most of my estimates, where I usually bat about 60-70%.

Bomber-Bob Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 They seem to have tightened up a little lately, as I was off on most of my estimates, where I usually bat about 60-70%. They probably read the recent Board postings complaining about the soft grading lately, seriously. I think you know the posts I am refering to as I believe you responded. I cringed when I saw those posts. What were they expecting to accomplish ? The OP got some good grades and complained, ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that they were loose, I think they were right where they should have been but I guess it does change from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeddieMercede Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Very interesting and funny. The 8.0 with the stain on it that nobody wanted is now a 9.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Very interesting and funny. The 8.0 with the stain on it that nobody wanted is now a 9.0. That has to be distributor spray ?!? No way the book gets a 9.0 if that's a stain. Either way it does not have any eye appeal, combined with Cream/OW pages this is not a desirable book.
