jreezy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) $2600 is what I would have paid if I really wanted a copy that presented well and didn't want to break the bank. I actually think that was a very fair price for the buyer; there are days that book gets a 1.0 from CGC and sells for ~$500 more. This.. If it was for $2600 I would've pulled the trigger on those low grade copies on eBay. 5k for a 1.0-1.5 showcase 4 is pushing it. I would use that money on a amazing fantasy or hulk #1.

Boba Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't know what to think about this book: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281559215597?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT On one hand, it looked nice and sharp, but then the seller discloses color-touch as an answer to a question, not disclosed in the listing (that I could find anyway). Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 This is in the listing at the bottom: There is a small amount of color touch on the cover, slight glue on the spine, a few tiny tear seals and the book has been trimmed. It is professionally done and is very hard to notice. I wouldn't buy it, but it is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Probably one of those books that were dicked around with in the mid-seventies or eighties when restoration became all the rage and everyone was trying to improve these books - I bet many Superman #1's met the same fate during this time.

Sam I am Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 There was nice 5.5 ow/w on Ebay today, but the listing got pulled after 5 hours. Maybe he saved some $ in fees through a direct sale? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Showcase-4-CGC-5-5-OW-to-White-Origin-first-appearance-of-Silver-Age-Flash-/221666580350?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item339c5b977e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what eBay can really do if people contact each other and work out a deal. Maybe they're happy with the paypal fees if they get them. Who knows. The color-touched, trimmed copy being offered by collectors_comics sold for a surprising $4,579.51 IMHO, that's a lot of dough for a book that's trimmed, and god knows what else.
