Is #102 a key issue?

[qualitycomix]

I'll ask Jim of eides if the buyer is legit when I pay next week.

[qualitycomix]

It's a minor key, 1st appearance of Sif, I think.

 

Anybody else have high grade JIMs that I need?

[burntboy]

man, the S*#T has really hit the fan as far as JIM's are concerned. great prices and beautiful books. congrats on all of your purchases.

 

no sense trying to sell mine now as surely every hoarder will hit the boards within the next week or so

What, you wanna upgrade all those paltry 9.4s to 9.6s? Greedy bastich!

[qualitycomix]

You're right, that's why you should just sell them to me.

Now that you mention it, a 102 CGC 9.4 may be coming up on the market soon.

If I see you at Mega-Con again next year, will you promise to bring a couple of your babies for Show-N-Tell? (I promise not to drool on them....nah, can't keep that promise, but I'll bring my 'Hulk Smash' bib )

Congrats on the super high grade purchases, Brent! Your JIM run keeps getting more spectacular all the time.

 

I have to confess, though, that I am very pleased to have purchased the Eides 102 in 9.2 at less than a tenth the cost of your terrific 9.6.

Sure, I'll bring a few down. My run is nice, but I saw Captain Tripps' JIM run a few weeks ago and for a moment, I thought I had found Nirvana.

 

This is such a fun hobby, regardless of the ridiculous prices certain people pay for books that they "need".

No.

I agree, and as long as collecting remains 'fun' then who cares about the prices?

[r100comics]

Much as I love J.I.M.s, and much as I love #102 in particular (which I have a beautiful 9.4 copy of), I was amazed when I saw the closing price on this 9.6.

 

I was ready to place a maximum bid (just under 1/2 the close price), until I discovered the book had a slight dust shadow on the back cover. Being the fussy, and pedantic buyer I am I had to pass. However I would obviously have been blown away in the bidding anyway !

 

Congrats to Brent though, as structurally this is probably one of the nicest copies on the planet !

That's fair enough when considering a 9.6 at huge guide multiples.

I guess Loki and Bonitachica turned out to be legit bidders after all. Eides gave good feedback to Loki (first feedback!) and Bonitachica just got his/her first feedback from Jason Ewert. I'd love to know who they are!

New buyers, or alternate ID's for established collectors?

That's why I'd love to know who they are! I'm sure they're known collectors...
