Ryan. Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Just got the notes on my low grader I sent in to CGC: "Apparent SP, Cover Trimmed/Married". I feel like puking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etanick Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 OUCH....my condolence...I think many of us here have had that feeling at least once if not more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 My only consolation is that the first page is signed by Kirby so at least I have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Okay, so my X-Men 1 is fully graded: 1.0 Restored SP, Cover trimmed/married, Signed by Jack Kirby on first page. Can anyone take a stab at what the FMV on what such a book might be? I'm wondering if the price I paid for it last summer is fair or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 12 month GPA average for a Blue 1.0 is $504; based on sales in previous years I’d say an unmolested copy is about a $400 - $500 book. A trimmed 1.0 sold for $356 in 2006 and a PLOD MA copy sold for $375 in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer-X Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Wondering what you all think is a fair price for this X-Men 1, 9.2. Yes, I know it could vary widely, and it's worth what someone will pay, blah, blah. I also know all the GPA stats on it. But wondering what you think is a low price, a fair price, and a high price for it... Edited February 20, 2012 by Racer-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etanick Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I regret to be the underbidder for that book when it was a 9.0 I didn't go strong on it because the green color was kind of wonky on the book and emailed a few boardies about that issue. When the census showed a disappearing of a 9.0 and a new 9.2, I had a strong hunch that it was this copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right - what's with those greens?? So you're saying the was a 9.0 that got re-subbed and got a 9.2?

I've gone back thru this thread and would have to say that the darker green seems to show up more BUT the Pacific Coast 9.6 with W pages is "Wonky Green" as well (pg 37 in this thread)...
