Kal-El Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) I'll go a little high on this one as Sparkle seems to get spirited bidding and say $7000. The last sale of a 5.0 on GPA was a similar PQ book for $6750. A year earlier almost to the day a OW specimen sold for the same - $6750. I think it's time for a bump in price. Of course it could end up being a bargain . . . Already at 6,000 no bargain likely here. .....and the search continues...

accessndx Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think I just popped a blood vessel in my brain after looking upon the 9.6 goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANK_THE_TANK-migration Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'll get the pop-job done during the summer when I get a high-res scan. This is from HA when there must have been something wring with their scanner. The colors look much more bright in-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accessndx Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Frank, you don't need to do anything. I've just called for an ambulance however....I think I'm bleeding out internally from all the excitement your post created. Super-ultra-hyper-cool grail broham. If you ever want to unload that 200K book and I've got an extra 200K laying around we'll have to have your people call my people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANK_THE_TANK-migration Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It's not for sale ATM, but in the past I tried to trade it for AF15 in 9.6 (when it was only one 9.6 copy) + I think 350 or 450k (can't remember exactly). It went sour and to my great frustration is sold for 1.1kk @ CC about a year later. After that I turned down some bids. The problem in this range is that you just don't know the real price for it.

FRANK_THE_TANK-migration Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It's not a reprint. I picked it up in Texas along with a lot of other Showcase books. Compared to the 9.2 and 9.0 sales it seemed cheap at the time but we will see some years down the line how the price really was. I know I say it in every post but I would be happy to post some HQ scans (back and front) in the summer. ATM I only have that of books I am selling as it is more vital.

It was quite a news when Mark sold his Showcase 4 9.2. Following the 9.2 sell a 9.0 sold for a steal nearly 40K. A recent 8.5 just for 47.5K which confirms that HG copies has went to the next level. Love to see more scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 That's just terrific! I posted a scan of that book way back when this thread began as a tease to what we all could aspire to. I think I just tossed that scan as it made all (the scans of) my own books look like reader-copies. Honored to have the owner post it here so in case that next lottery ticket is the winner I know who to contact to get onto the list. Kudos to you sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 sales on GPA for the last few years, both for $6750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
