peewee22 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Sure is. And lately it's become even more of an obsession, and can mean a huge price swing between a CR and a OW (or pray tell a W book) so it really can smack you in the wallet. I wish they would have a more scientific way to determine PQ, or if not, at least be more descriptive. I hear a brittle PQ could be assigned because a corner of a page is brittle. That could sink and entire book. That's correct, Bob-a-loo. Look at this Bat 1 currently in the C-Link auction. Has Slightly Brittle pages but look at the back. See the suppleness in the pages? Probably has a thin strip or edge somewhere in the book that is "flakey" so to speak. Ridiculous, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulette44 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 , cute. I believe there is only one WP copy of our beloved BB28 - it's a 7.5 and owned by a boardie I have had ow/w, ow, c/ow, lt/ow, sb (no brittle copies), but NEVER white pages...... if you ask me, the Heritage prices were modest, not excessive. The 5.5 was the nicest presenting of the bunch, and the 6.0 was nice with ow/w pages too....but nothing superduper..... had that 7.0 been ow/w and/or looked sharper, i'd think we'd see $11K (shut, i'd probably bid $10K).

accessndx Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 So not entirely related to the movie per se but more directly related to the comic book... This is actually more for you action figure junkies. There are two links to youtube below....first link is about 9 minutes long, the second just about 2 minutes. The sound doesn't kick in until about a third the way through the second link.... The second link is clearer and a bit more visually oriented whereas the first link is more descriptive of the product. Both are a worthwhile watch IMHO: So freaking cool if you dig BB28 and action figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accessndx Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think the book's selling price was a bit modest (in spite of bumps) and I anticipate others in the same grade as well as bit lower will start to increase markedly as more news arises.

accessndx Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 So GPA on a 6.0 (which is roughly the median grade that's been sold lately) is as follows: 12 Month Average = $3295.00 90 Day Average = $4780.00 That 90 Day Average on 6.0 is now eclipsing the Feb. 2013 last recorded sale on a 6.5 and is equivalent to the Twin Cities 6.5 last sold in May 2011. The 7.0 12 & 90 is at $8963.00 with most recent sale in May 2013.....it's edging closer to the 7.5 with a last recorded sale of $10,000.00 in November 2011. Looks like the days of undervaluing this comic are rapidly coming to a close. Even those $ amts. are a bit less than I would expect. I guess we'll see what happens in about a month.....DC/WB has been playing JLA news close to the vest until the release of MOS. Betcha dimes to donuts these prices look like a long forgotten dream by August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
