[Sardo Numspar]

Looked like a nice raw copy in the preview

Deja Vu

Let's go for the trifecta. Third thread!

[Pike's Comics]

Did anyone see the Hulk 1 right next to it?

Yes! I would have given him an offer on everything in the glass case.

I'm thinking that they break even or up 500 on the assessment. That book has serious Marvel chipping, although the rest of it displayed pretty nicely

[oakman29]

They said the AF 15 was a 2.0,but it looked like at least a 3.0/3.5 to me.

I agree, I thought 3.0.

 

The appraiser is from The Great Escape here in Nashville. I have talked to him a few times at their Charlotte Ave. store.

[devilsrain]

Yea just watched it. if they could edge out a 4 they did real well.

 

Even at a 3.0 the last sale was 6500

[lemonman5]

Totally ungraded.

 

The book looked to be at least a 3.0. Marvel chipping and spine stress can get up to 4.5.

 

I still liked the way they approached comics on this show compared to Pawn Stars. I like this show because they're always realistic about what they get can for their items.

[catrick339]

Dang, off $500,

[comix4fun]

That was some severe chipping...and on the close up shot you could see several color breaking creases on the edge near the chipping.

 

Add in the top, bottom and spine wear and you're looking at a 3.0, maybe a touch higher, but not a VG. No way. Without the CB creases maybe, but they are way too noticeable.

When I initially saw it automatically I thought 3.0,certainly not higher than 3.5

Great find,would rather of liked to see that Hulk #1 in the case.

The grade was a tight, but the value was high for a 2.0/2.5.

 

In the end, I think $5500 was a pretty good number.

+1

[Dale Roberts]

I didn't slow it down and look, but it looked like a 4.0 all day long to me.

That whole deal went down nearly 7 months ago...

And is it really "picking" when you buy a book from a known dealer who has been in the business for 30 years or more?

i'm bout 10 minutes from where this happened, Boyertown's main attraction is a redneck flea market they have every weekend. disappointing i never seen the book- not sure if the owner has a public store other than his pet store, but typically don't think to ask a pet store owner if they got comics.
