How come the Coke Zero in Manila tastes different?

Local bottlers add their own "unique" flavor additions hehe

 

 

 

A very disturbing image just popped into my head.

1) Will you get your Overstreet report completed in time?

 

2) Will it get published this year?

 

3) When will my jet lag go away?

What is your best guess as to when the Pedigree book is finally completed and becomes available for purchase?

 

Edit: I just read Matt's update in the Pedigree thread and it sounds like it might actually not be too far away, if he can find some time to wrap it up...

Hi Gator,

 

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find where you've posted it in the past, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to get your current opinion on the topic...

 

Can you compare both the current and projected FMV's (lets say 10 years from now) for Detective Comics #29 and Detective Comics #31?

 

-Low grade.

-Mid grade.

-High grade.

 

How many copies of each would you guesstimate to still be in existence?

 

The highest CGC-certified copy of Tec #29 is the Allentown 9.6 and the highest unrestored Tec #31 is an 8.0; how much do you estimate the Tec #29 9.6's current FMV to be today and how much would you estimate a Tec #31 would sell for if one existed in the exact same condition?

Feared by man and loved by women. Tis the answer to thou's question

[29dukedog]

If I may, an off-topic question about posting pics here on the boards (just because I can't find the answer anywhere):

 

How can I post scans as attachments, rather than using Photobucket or some other web hosting service?

 

Thanks!

[Scrooge]

Once you hit reply to post (the full reply, not the quick reply), under the writing pane, click on File Manager and that will allow you to attach up to 5 pics to any post. The file size limit per attachment is 200K so be sure your scan conforms to that.

[29dukedog]

Alright, I'll give that a try... (if this works, thanks!)

 

Cool, it worked. Most of my scans are bigger than 200 KB, though.

[Scrooge]

Yeah, I know. I keep 2 sets of scans. Those for me and a lower res version for the boards. I'd rather let the boards host than having to go into Photobucket then post + the boards host continually so there are far fewer broken links in the long run.

I consider tec 29 to me more valueable, grade for grade, than tec 31...that said, there is more apparent demand for 31, than 29 (which is a good thing, since there are more copies of 31 in the market than 29, so that kind of evens out)...

 

low grade tec 29 and 31 sell at comparable rates...as do mid grade ...high grade just don't "exist" with sales, so really no way to know... my guess is someone would easily pony up 500K for the allentown 29 if they so desired, and would pay the same for a 9.6 tec 31 if out there...I think in 7.0 both are worth about the same (there is a tec 29 in cgc 7.0 coming up for auction soon, so we will have some more empiracal data soon)...

 

long term, 10 years out, I suspect both will appreciate faster than inflation (thumbs u

Whats the ultimate PLOD to own for the future ?

CAn it be any other than action 1. That said as far as plods go even that book (and tec 27) are getting out of even the serious collectors budget. So look to batman 1 and superman 1 and captain America 1 to be the most heavily traded

 

And even then one should be prepared to bring about $5k (or more) to the table for a .5 complete restored copy of either one of these, isn't that right? Even here it's a crazy competitive market since common collectors are looking for an *affordable* copy.

Feared by man and loved by women. Tis the answer to thou's question

Great answer though it leads to the paradox of hermaphrodites.
