tth2 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Two 9.4s?? Oh boy, here we go.. Wonder if, in the end, the DC census will actually catch the Marvel census after all? Not so long ago we all truly believed that GL 76 was somehow scarcer than it turned out to be too! There`s either 2 9.4s and 1 9.2 (Brian`s copy), if the second 9.4 is the Toth copy upgraded, or 2 9.4s and 2 9.2s if it`s a completely new 9.4.

Not so long ago we all truly believed that GL 76 was somehow scarcer than it turned out to be too! I hope there are more high grade copies out there! Been wanting to upgrade my copy. My biggest regret is not picking up the 9.0 copy in the Heritage auction back in 2007 or so...I believe it sold for just north of $10k...also the 9.2 Toth copy a couple years later for $35k...now probably can't buy a 8.5 copy for $35k Ther was an earlier 9.0 that sold on EBay for around 5K too. A few months before the Heritage copy. I thought the 10K was a good deal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs1313 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's already sold. I got a number that I am very, very happy with. Here's the deal guys, although I could hang onto it and I'm sure it "might" appreciate, I'm just as happy with a 7.0 or whatever of this book. I never feel the need to max all the way out on the book. Might it be a six figure book? Sure it might be. Was I very happy with how close I got to that. Sure am. How long did you have the book before you sold it? No reason, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolkiller Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Depends on how you look at it. I had the book raw for a few weeks. After it was graded, I probably had it a few hours. There were 7 possible buyers I had to call. I never made it past the first, who took the book with almost no negotiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 9.2 is a brand new book to market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 9.2 is a brand new book to market. So you think the new 9.4 copy is also new to market, and not an upgrade of another copy that was in the Census?

That means you sold it too cheap! Yeah, you may be right, but when you factor in auction fees, I'm not so sure. And I'm never in the "I have to max out category".

It really just depends... most of the people who I know are people who have bought or traded or even sold me big books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Captain Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The 8.5 sold for strong $45,504. The 7.0 sold for rather disappointing $7,700. Possibly due to the pq and the writing on the cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roulette44 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 was a pretty poor looking 7.0. $45K for an 8.5 is very strong! we were all amazed by the $40.5K sale of the last 8.5.......Just awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA Brad Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm actually quite amazed at the price this time around. I thought for sure that we would see a dip from the last auction- that the $40.5K was an anomaly. Apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
