dem1138 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Posted this book in another thread. Can't believe how many PMs I've gotten on this book. Clearly its one of the hottest books on the market right now. Everyone seems to be looking for a nice presenting lower graded copy right now.

G.A.tor Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I sold a relatively ugly 3.0 last week for 7500. I have a much nicer looking 3.0 that I guess should be a premium to that sale. I like roulette 9k eval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryAllen Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A buddy of mine has his collection "poof" a few weeks back so I've decided not to post books anymore, but I'll put this one up for the hell of it for 24 hours. Too many people knew what he had. Now he has nothing. Beautiful book! Did he have insurance? What did the police say? A big theft like that seems unusual unless they robbed him in general. If it was targeted to just comics it was likely via someone he knew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passion4comics Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) A buddy of mine has his collection "poof" a few weeks back so I've decided not to post books anymore, but I'll put this one up for the hell of it for 24 hours. Too many people knew what he had. Now he has nothing. Beautiful book! Did he have insurance? What did the police say? A big theft like that seems unusual unless they robbed him in general. If it was targeted to just comics it was likely via someone he knew... He had a bunch of gold and silver books non-graded in a few short boxes. Nice stuff too. When I say nice a good amount were 5K+ books. They cut his screen, crow-barred the back window to pop the latch. Some jewelry. Comics. Pillow cases to load up whatever else they thought they could use. I have no idea what his insurance company is saying. Last we spoke they were ok with everything and now they are not. I'm thinking it's best not to let people know what you have. Too many people I know that were straight laced blue and white collar workers all of a sudden are hard core addicts losing everything. I don't need that and I'm sure it was someone he knows. It was too clean. Too opportunistic in a short window that he was away from home.

I don't expect to pay over FMV but have no problem paying GPA/FMV. Yes and no. A lot of times people don't answer unless they know who you are or are trolling for that specific sale. Also - GPA and FMV are too very different things on a book like this (depending on timing and grade). It is easiest to find a reputable dealer or two on here you can trust, develop a relationship and keep in contact. They will come across a book you will want eventually and if you have a relationship you will pay FMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not in the market right now for a SC4 but probably will be in the future. I want to complete the first 100 of the Flash run first. I try to buy from people on the board first and then move on to other avenues. Of course I am not as patient as some and its not hard to find a copy of most books.

Iceman399 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Did we skip a few digits here http://www.metropoliscomics.com/load_bookDetails.php?id=601313 I think it is a bit high but seeing how the low grades have gone up 50-100% since late last year it doesn't seem to far off depending on presentation etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
