BarryAllen Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It's horrible to see how much competition I(we) have for a copy of this book in this thread alone, disregarding all the other people in the hobby who are trying to get one right now. It is not an easy book to find... Has anyone tried approaching the seller of that 3.0 that's on ebay right now about working a deal for an off ebay transaction ? -J. hit or miss on deals with eBay. Do you know the seller, are they reasonable? If not, I don't want to go through the headache. That place is full of crazies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Feels like Bizarro world with this book being in such demand right now, couldn't give away one of the many 7.5s on the market around 3-4 years ago. I can't say I can remember that (3-4 years ago anyway) but maybe I'm not aware of how many were being shopped around. Every one I saw got snatched up chop-sweet. I remember losing a 7.5 on eBay for I think it was $11,000+/- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 8k asking price with no make offer option is somewhat disconcerting but who knows at the rate things are going, this time in 8-12 months it may not be. -J.

The_Captain Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Having a creators/ original cover artists signature on the cover of a huge DC key is such a horrible thing to do. (tsp) Lucky for you I have a heart for such unwanted books, would take it off your hands and would put it up right next to my shameful DC key signature addition. Unfortunately having a SC#22 signed by Kane in a CGC SS was not an option Your signed Hulk #1 also rocks btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks for the complement on this one and the hulk… Your All American 16 is a book that I have always loved but have never owned BIG KUDOS to you sir! I own a golden age Green lantern 1 restored and another one coverless but that 16 is a jewel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The better looking 4.0 is sitting there at $7500 and no one has pulled the trigger on that one.it So it's gonna end up less than that. I definitely don't see it going over $7000 or they would just pick up the other copy. Obviously the seller of the 4.0 on the exchange knows he will get his price sooner rather than later, and considering how rare the book is, 7500 for it will probably look like a deal in six months, and even at that price is the lowest priced publicly available blue label that I can find right now. The one at the auction may not fetch that but I can easily envision a final sales price range of 6600-7200, with a very real and likely chance that it will crack 7k, for the reasons stated above. As for the back cover scans doesn't comic link provide upon request ? -J. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whistle guy was because the book went for just slightly over my early price prediction. I do hope another boardie did get it though. -J.

The_Captain Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Wow! Nothing short of wow! I just watched the Flash pilot and I thought it was waaay better than Smallville and Arrow. Good cast, good story, great pace, loved it! It is also appealing to a younger audience than the dark themed Arrow is, which might help its popularity a lot. I could see prices rising even faster once the series gets started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I felt the exact same way after I watched it today. The character was very well represented, and the effects were perfect. So much happened in the 47 minutes I had to re-watch it twice. Lots of spoilers that I won't leave here, but I feel that Zoom will be the key to it all.

Can I presume that it will be a cold day in hell before someone pries one of those SC 4's in your massive, aneurysm inducing sig line from your hands ? -J.

Sam I am Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) I actually had a deal on the table for my 5.5 last Friday that fell through on the buyer's end at the very end. So never say never. It would have been a record sale for the grade, as far as I know. edit: Sorry about the aneurisms... Edited June 27, 2014 by Sam I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulette44 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 would have to be well above $15K to be a record....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
