I know collectors will see these sales and think - wow, that's a lot of dough!

 

I see these sales and think - wow, that's a lot of work!

 

It's gratifying to see it pay off though. Nice job, Rick. (thumbs u

[G.A.tor]

Gator, you mention that these all sold to collectors. Do you usually sell more to dealers?

I actually probably had 20-30% dealer sales in the past (most more than likely for pressing potential)... that has been reduced dramatically, so most books selling to actual collectors

[mikephoen]

How about a list of what is still available instead of a list of what we missed out on.

[G.A.tor]

Batman 1 cgc 8.0

 

Whoa, nice.

a lot

but the exact number is not public I am afraid

[G.A.tor]

In early april I think I will run a sales thread... a lot is pictured in the "group thread"

setting up in Chicago or the first time in August

[cheetah]

Do you think the reduction in dealers may be due to the extended turnaround times at CGC typing up their money for too long?

[comicdonna]

Congratulations on all of the sales.

[G.A.tor]

Do you think the reduction in dealers may be due to the extended turnaround times at CGC typing up their money for too long?

not from me...more that I don't have potentializable (is that a word) books any longer... most all the books I am buying are lower grade, cooler GA or some mid range SA, but not the nosebleed grades that pressing would be desirable (for the most part)

Please bring your WW's & Sensation Comics!

[John R]

Those are amazing sales. Congrats!!

[Primetime]

Did you write a market report the 2013 OSPG, and did Gemstone receive it safely?

 

Wish you had current vintage comics updated on your website
