archiefan Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 But to be fair to CGC another huge collector John Verzyl has confidence in them. They graded his AA# 16 Mile High copy. Im sure that was hand delivered . Maybe he even watched the intire grading process.I know I would if it were allowed. Doesn't Verzyl own the run of Mile High Timelys unslabbed?

nearmint Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If he's not selling them he wouldn't care. Bingo. I also think that as time has gone by he realizes that those two particular books will have much more of an aura surrounding them as long as they remain unslabbed. The speculation about grade and value will continue to be fodder for new chat-board threads, convention discussions, and collector's fantasies until the moment the books are graded and/or sold. All of the talk adds to the perceived value in the long run. I would bet that the three million dollar books all hit those prices exactly because Dave's books have not been graded. Plus, you can't read a slabbed book in the bath tub. Mr.Illmannered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Jeff (Nearmint) was getting at was the he doesn't own every Church Timely book although impressively enough he has put most of the run together. I think he owns all but about 8 issues.

Silver Surfer Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 No, he owns the Allentown Tec 27 Around a 9.4 - 9.6 and the Church Action 1 in the 9.2-9.4 range I hear he sticks his hands in people's mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelholt Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just to re-enforce what "Dark Knight" said, a while back when Steve Borock saw it, he said the Tec 27 would likely be a solid 9.6 while the Action 1 was likely a 9.4 (others have said 9.2 - 9.4) & of course this was not an official grade nor closely scruitinized. Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when Steve was looking at them. not me, I hear the Dr carries a big rolled up newspaper with him It's actually his undercopy of Action #1. He keeps it rolled up in his back pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 I actually spoke to him about it a few years ago and his responce was why should he risk the book getting damaged to have it put in a plastic coffin. Dont blame him at all with a book of astronomical value I must say. Remember what happened to Robert B. Hes still after CGC with a vengence. That makes perfect sense. If he isn't going to sell them anytime soon, why risk damage with people handling them, for any reason. I'd love to see pics of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
