Nice Unfortunately for me I did not have the kind of money to buy it even back then. Had a chance in 07 but it was restored. Looking back I should of just pulled the trigger as it was an amazing deal at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageComics Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I sold a 5.5 for $30K a few months ago. This is right in the ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the page quality on that one you sold? The HA was OW-W. I'm trying to keep track of recent sales for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 There's a 2.5 copy being auctioned up by SparkleCity. Book sold previously raw ungraded as a VG- with offwhite/white pages just last month and now it's graded as a 2.5 with light tan-offwhite. Talk about "ouch" for the current owner reselling right away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around 9500? Just checked bidding looks like its doing quite well. Wondering why owner would flip it that quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman399 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thinking out loud ... owner bought it from Sparkle and was disappointed with the grade so they agreed to auction it off for them to hopefully reduce any negative feelings. I know if I bought a raw book from a dealer and it came back a full point lower I wouldn't be handing it over to them for sale without some sort of "extra" negotiation.

I know if I bought a raw book from a dealer and it came back a full point lower I wouldn't be handing it over to them for sale without some sort of "extra" negotiation. I think it's also the buyer's responsibility to ask questions and have a rough idea on how to grade comics, especially a comic of this magnitude. If you're going to be spending on an item like this, you better do your homework first. Like with most dealers, they cannot guarantee what a 3rd party grading company would grade the book, which I think is fair game. I asked Sparkle City questions about the book and felt that based on their responses, that their assigned grade was a bit high. I actually had the book graded at a GD+ so was accurate there but didn't expect the light tan pages, which was way off from their offwhite-white pages they had it at.
