roulette44 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Back in the 90s, Showcase New England had a full short box of copies of AF #15. That is pretty sick, Jeff. Rick also mentioned a little while back that someone has (had?) a short box of AF15s, i'm wondering if this is the same guy or not....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmazingSaul Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Wow that's what I mean about the amount of marvel that exists. There's enough for every collector to have like 3 different copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA Brad Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I do understand the potential synergistic dynamics, yet it's seemingly a fine line between the market adjusting its FMV or having an inflated speculative value shoved down our collective throats. I would think the marketplace would adjust for this "inflated speculative value" all on its own. Either you pay the price or the comic sits with its owner. Given enough time, the owner will either lower the price or get the price once the perceived value of the comic equates with its price. If someone else wants it bad enough, they pay the price (like I normally do). My motivations are more driven by completing my collection and liking the comics I collect as opposed to speculating, but with either motivation the market as a whole will always adjust given time.

accessndx Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've made the same argument before pertaining to the lack of data points on the GPA. It really is rather simple as you've pointed out: if folks don't agree the price is appropriate, it sits forever. If someone is willing to pull the trigger at a given price: that's the FMV as determined by that purchase. It took someone (who's in this thread) to determine he was willing to pay over 60K years ago for the top census BB28. Folks thought he was crazy apparently and that he'd never see his investment $ again. The book was sold for an undisclosed amt. more than he paid. Someone believed it was reasonable to pay more and in all honesty that book's estimated value currently is markedly more than that. What amt. exactly is debatable but clearly more than what was paid initially on the order of tens of thousands if not more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accessndx Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Since the topic of PGX was brought up here previously I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable folks: If you did have a PGX slab that you wanted to submit to the CGC for reslabbing, what's the best way to handle that? Would you just send them the whole slab as is or would you crack it and send it raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Metropolis this morning in their "COMICS ADDED TODAY" section had 2 low-grade, raw BB28's listed. Stock images, so they were just listed. I checked the site some moments ago and both listings were gone, suggesting both books sold same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
