showcase22gr1959 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 my long term experience has been more cr/ow than ow or better.... but as I got to looking at my inv list and recent sales list, I did discover all 6 copies ow or better... and I just sent a lower grade copy to cgc that should come back ow or better... Wow Gator, how did you managed to accumulate so many BB28 in OW PQ. From my experience and what I have seen out there...the average BB28 PQ are cream/off white pages. I admit, I typically recall most SA dc keys as being cr/ow with ow or better being the minority... I have owned dozens of bb28 over the past few years....it is "strange" that the last 6 copies (and the current 3 I have) are all ow or better... I believe it could be the result of a few factors, maybe a softening of cgc pq stance I see. Maybe they're being a bit generous on the cream side. The OW designation will definitely be a plus. I'm still amazed to hear six copies in OW PQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Comics Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Guess it's a good thing no one bought the 6.0 I listed for sale last week. Nice result today for all three BB 28s in the HA auction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe BB28 is the book to buy right now. Good value and an iconic cover. I thought about the HA 6.0 long and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I managed to pick up a 6.0 yesterday off of roulette44. I wasn't expecting quite so big a run at HA today. It was exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 It wasn't long ago a 6.0 was a $1200-1300 book. It's definitely on the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing, but I've had plenty of cream books come back off-white to not obsess over it that much. Personally I think CGC is too free with the PQ designations. Why is it so inconsistent?

If you mean Heritage, yes they do. I've got Hastings on the brain....sorry....I meant Heritage. Hastings isn't even local to me....but I've heard many reputed stories of folks looking through their long-boxes of comics and finding modern gems. For instance: alot of the Sixth Gun stock people have dug up came from Hastings.....often for cover and clearly worth a significant amount more on the modern market for a bit. Same with Cursed Pirate Girl.....very difficult to find, but a couple have popped up at Hastings for a little above cover in very high grade. That joint is literally a treasure trove for the modern enthusiast. I'd love to have one nearby.....heck I don't even have many LCS that have long-boxes anymore. Possibly 2 out of 6.

Maybe they're finally being less harsher on the PQ for the late 50's to early 60's DC's. I had a few graded recently which had an OW PQ, but white pages are tough to score for these books.

It sucks for people who have books that are OW in CR/OW slabs, considering it costs over a hundred bucks to get them regraded and CGC makes no concessions. I had a book that was upgraded on 2 resubs. That's a lot of money spend on slabs to get to the "right" grade. But I digress . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know it's a plus for the designation to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
