Peds need to be purchased straight off the newsstand so if he's buying books from other people it'll never be a Ped.

 

Ha...learned something new. That makes the whole ped thing more interesting and impressive.

 

It would not get a pedigree designation because the person did not buy them off the stands. It could get a "From the Collection of ___________________" designation, though.

 

 

That would work as well, so instead of being a ped he gets recognized for this amazing collection and all the books get a bump because of the way he collected over a period of time. what kind of numbers are we talking about? How many 9.9's make an amazing collection?

 

Oh and a side note did the seller get his check yet?

"From the Collection of ___________________" designations are not given. They are paid for.

Just stop posting, Roy... you're getting destroyed doh!

 

I'm getting destroyed?

 

Why would you say that?

 

Well, now that you've challenged me please show me where I got destroyed, Mr. "big tits make a girl hot".

You're defending the sale; a sale which might quite possibly be the most ridiculous in comic book history. Just because you're a "comic dealer" now doesn't mean you have to try and justify it in each and every way, because you're failing miserably. And I never said big tits make a girl hot, they are awesome though :shrug:

It isn't because he's a dealer; Roy is just a contrarian. He'd take the minority opinion on socs, given the opportunity. But that's why I like him.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure there have been worse. To me, an FF 72 selling for 8K in 9.6 is nearly as bad.

I'm just waiting for my check to clear so all my slabs will heretofore be from the collection of "Ultimate Ninja Badass . . ."

 

There have been some really sweet, sweet burns in this thread....

 

:cloud9:

 

Calling me a fatass is not a burn, Tupenny, Jr.

Is that 'cause it's true, or because it's just weaksauce?

Dude, I'm not defending the sale. Every comic book sale above the cost of the paper and ink is ridiculous.

 

I have stated several times in the thread (or other places) that the price is high. Higher than I would pay, higher than I thought it was worth. Sorry you missed those posts.

 

You were probably too busy with Keely Hazel on your screen and your right hand....well, never mind.

 

I'm also not trying to justify the price. I don't have to justify it because I have no interest in the buyer, the seller or the book. Or the price for that matter.

 

I am though, justifying the buyer's right to spend his money as he sees fit without having to be ridiculed with personal insults. Something many people are not able to stop themselves from doing.

 

I'm also arguing that the 9.9 grade is not a dart board guess as some might try to portray it as. Every grade is an educated guess. Every time you buy a graded book you are buying an educated guess. The risk ratios change with the grade, I realize that, but every grade is an educated guess.

 

So instead of taking a swipe or two at me grow up a little, learn to read and comprehend and then bring your points to the table with some intelligent points instead of making things personal like any other person who takes on a mob mentality.

 

Maybe then you'll see that Keely Hazel is not all that hot.

It's weak, and I am, at most, chubby.
