TeddieMercede Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Yeah distributor spray but may as well be a stain. This book couldn't find a home for a long time, wonder how it'll do as a 9.0 as opposed to an 8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolkiller Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Fugly copy I wouldn't want at an 8.0 price let alone a 9.0 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Very interesting and funny. The 8.0 with the stain on it that nobody wanted is now a 9.0. Good detective work, Eric! Man I love this hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galactus Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 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 I have been offered a 7.5 but the asking price is $8k. Given the 8.0 sale at $10k, does anyone see this as a reasonable price to pay for a nice looking 7.5 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Whether it's a fair price or not is hard to say but I can tell you that B+B #28 was the book that I heard asked for most at Mid Ohio con this past week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Did you hear or see what copies were being sold for in >6.0 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Did you hear or see what copies were being sold for in >6.0 ? Didn't see any above VG. I picked up two copies in the past month ath what I thought were decent prices but they were both low grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $8K, it's a bit high...$6-7K will be a FMV for it. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It's pretty remarkable how few of these seem to be around over 4.5. You can find an AF #15 in just about any grade on any given day, but B&B #28's (SC #22 also) seem to be in short supply above 5.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell when them come out of the wood works. Green Lantern is the starting trend for the DC movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u Well whilst i would normally agree with you, given the fact that no copies are coming on the market and that the last 8.0 sold for $10k, i would think that $7k is now a minimum price for this book, especially in light of what people are saying regarding price hikes and scarcity. Obviously if you know of copies that are being sold for $6k in 7.5, then i would revise my estimate and ideally love for you to pass on the lead to me so that i can purchase it.

That would be a good entry price for the 7.5. What I find interesting is BB28 contains the 4th appearance of SA Green Lantern and pre-dates GL1.

kimik Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 But GL #1 has a better cover so it is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 But GL #1 has a better cover so it is a moot point. Uh, no. I've never liked the covers for either B&B 28 or GL 1. It pained me to look at my copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pained me to look at my copies. I don't mind the B+B cover so much, even if the concept is intended for children. Something about that grey cover that I find appealing. The prototype Captain America shield at the center of Starro is pretty neat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah, not a fan of both covers of B&B 28 and GL 1 as well or else I would've owned them already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
