Someone bought it and within a matter of weeks is attempting a flip? Risky move, no? Edited November 8, 2017 by NoMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If say risky move selling so soon. Buyer probably thought because Pedigree Comics does not get enough traffic like HA that he can potentially sell for a profit. Only reasoning I can think of.

spidyfan06 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 the 8.5 CGC says " From the Douglas Schmell PedigreeComics.com Collection. which more than likely didn't sell on his auction, and he moved it to HA , hoping GPA report his sell price so he can get somewhere near that. Maybe it should say from the Douglas 'SHILL' collection..... as a large number of his books that was on his website is now on HA. paul747 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have a history of shilling his own reserve auctions in the past as well as auctioning off most of his collection through Heritage. Not defending Doug or what not, but just because it says it came from the Schmell pedigreecomics collection doesn't mean it is him who is consigning to HA. It really can be from an actual buyer and he/she just wanted to quickly flip it for more. Whether that happens or not is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug has consigned nearly $1MIL in books in this auction. There's no facts but it certainly looks like it's Doug. Anybody looking to flip a record price book a few weeks after setting a 'record' winning bid....well, that's tough to swallow. SC22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I agree with you Roy, even if there is no conclusive hard facts behind it . It's really the only thing that makes sense. I was just stating in general that even a collection recognized by CGC can be sold by others and not just the actual person who owned the collection.

duderino Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Anyone have an idea of what a CGC 6.5 general value is these days? I have one that I've been setting on for over 10 years or so. Best, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Five years ago a SC4 6.5 blue label could be had for around 12-15K. Congrats on holding the book this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
