VintageComics Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Lots of people have no problem with restored books. I think the point being made here is that these books may not necessarily 'feel' like comics in hand because of the type of resto work being done to them to achieve their grades. to each their own. I love restored books but I'm not sure how I feel about these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love restored books but I'm not sure how I feel about these. I see the point, I have held books with restoration and at the time couldn't tell until someone pointed it out (early in my collecting career). I likely wouldn't want a book that feels like something other than a comic book either. Edited December 26, 2015 by rfoiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 1 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What do you guys think about the prices on Showcase recently? There are a couple of very high recent sales with the 3.0 at 11k being the big jump for lower grade books. However, I don't see that as proof that a 3.0 is worth 11k again...its just one sale. What do you think a 2.0 would be worth? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think a 2.0 would be worth? Thanks Copies from the other company have fetched surprisingly high prices. A 2.5 (looked like a CGC 2.0) from Borock's new company sold for $8750. And a 0.5 from the same company with a missing ad page went for close to $3700. It's hard to say $11k isn't the norm for a 3.0 depending on presentation etc. Not that many copies publicly change hands, after all. I would think a 2.0 could fetch anywhere from $8000-9000.

weaponx77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I recently private sale and purchased a showcase #4 in cgc 3.0 CR/OW pages and I dropped $9,700 on this book, so yea the $11k sale is not that far off as far as value, lets see what happens to this book as far as value when the flash gets more exposure on the big screen.

Do you have a picture? Depending on the eye appeal it sounds like you got a pretty solid deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaponx77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 there is a raw sc4 on eBay now with a $7,000 reserve price tag which hit already I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about that one, there are a couple red flags. Seller hadn't sold anything in awhile and copy is definitely overgraded with a suspicious description. I would steer clear.

weaponx77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I agree, a 5.0 is def not, looks more like a 4.0-4.5 raw copy, but with a nice press & dry cleaning done by ccs should help the book out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is still a little generous and I am not sure it can be improved much without seeing it in hand. I still have questions about the seller though. Do you know them?

Unless someone really legit is able to vouch for him (highly unlikely) , I'd stay clear of this auction as tempting as it may be to some (which doesn't say much ) IMO , To many question marks.
