Santos208 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I got myself a BA 12 today. So I have joined the club. It is likely 8.0-8.5 and I have not yet decided what to do with it. I have never contemplated clean and press until now! Anyway, I will likely scan and ask questions soon enough, but wanted to mention my find. Now back to that other thing... So...... scans?

Gabagool Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 hell the guy even insulted my sig at one point... saying why don't i get some "big boy books" because mine weren't in the price range of a down payment on a new car or anything to that nature. Did he actually do that? If yes, that is a douchey move. It does not matter what type of grail book a collector has, the important thing is that they have a collecting goal in mind and achieve it. (thumbs u Yep I said it. Guy had it coming too. He was being condescending and making attempted personal attacks because I dared to question the long term staying power and viability of what-if Gwen at the height of the hype and hysterics. Sound familiar ? And I actually agree with you about each collector and his goals. There was a caveat on my statement to him where I also said I liked his books. Dude was just out of line at the time, and I'm not sure what relevance any of it has in this thread. -J. Who are you to say i had it coming You have it coming everytime you post in any thread with majority of comments i see you posting... thats why people are complaining about you in this thread right ??

I wish you had told me you picked up a BA 12 at the show, I'd have given you the green light to stack up as many books off my table that you can hold in your arms....and a few of my wall books, as well.And I do not mean that facetiously, in the slightest way. I actually printed out sign on Friday night before packing up, indicating I am looking for Bat Adv 12 in any grade, raw or slabbed....had it with me at the show but I passed on putting it up on my wall, because I decided it would be a bit of a corny thing to do If you decide later that you want to sell or trade it, I'll be set up at Eternal Con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is a bad one as much as a BA12 can be bad, but it needs some TLC if that is even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I am going to take my 9.8 and price it at $2500, or maybe even $3000, this weekend at the Calgary Expo. It will be interesting to see if there are any serious buyers at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if there are any serious buyers at that price. dont go giving it away for 2k My thoughts exactly! I might as well put up my BA Ann 1 and Mad Love in 9.8 as well and see what happens. Edited April 14, 2015 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 18,000 seems very low for a Batman book from 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if there are any serious buyers at that price. Interesting?I think not. I can crystal ball that for you....you price the book at $500 or a $1000 more of the highest recorded sale for BA 12 in 9.8 and......it won't sell. I'd also be inclined to think that if someone sees a yellow post-it that reads "$2500" or more on a BA 12, you will drive away potential customers who would assume that the rest of your prices are also well above current norms.

Usless someone i am with is looking for 1, I will probably forget it after I leave his booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 if I see one grossly overpriced comic at someone's booth I might glance at some others but will probably ignore the rest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It depends on the size of the convention as well. If I have nothing else to do then I may strike up a conversation about the price. The booth as a whole would just fall down my priority list. I just had a guy on kijiji tell me he wanted $1,200 for his raw. I laughed and explained where his pricing was.

divad Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Or, if it's the only slabbed 9.8 at the show . . . . it just may sell. What's the rush? It's not like the price is going to come down anytime soon. For every 10 of you that thinks it's ludicrous, there may be one of you who wants it NOW. That's how new price records are made.
