Spiderphill Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Unbelievable prices now on this one. $3,625 for a low PQ 7.0 is great! I'm getting reeeeeal close to selling my 6.0 W and 4.5 OW. May wait until the movie teaser shows up at SDCC http://www.ebay.com/itm/221482726934 Not every collector is a "'PQ' snob". And some outright just don't care about it, understanding the arbitrariness of it (barring brittle, of course). -J. low pq tends to fall short of books with superior pq when it's time to sell. So yes pq matters. This does not occur on any verifiable or consistent basis. -J. Okay Jaydog Overstreet. Whatever you say buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May wait until the movie teaser shows up at SDCC http://www.ebay.com/itm/221482726934 Not every collector is a "'PQ' snob". And some outright just don't care about it, understanding the arbitrariness of it (barring brittle, of course). -J. low pq tends to fall short of books with superior pq when it's time to sell. So yes pq matters. This does not occur on any verifiable or consistent basis. -J. Um, yes it does. Why don't you run a regression analysis on price and PQ for books in the same grade, during the same timeframe, and you'll see the correllation. After years of looking at GPA, LINK, E-bay, etc. prices, it becomes obvious that PQ does have an impact on sales prices. You are speaking in broad strokes. And this is simply not true. You cannot do anything more than provide anecdotal evidence to justify your opinion, and I can just as easily counter with anecdotal evidence to support the contrary position. If you don't mind paying more for that part of a label that is known for being notoriously arbitrary, more power to you. But as I said there are enough shoppers out there who it doesn't matter to, that negate whatever perceived price difference you think there may be. -J. Whatever. The evidence is there. PQ does effect price and you're only fooling yourself if you think otherwise. If you want to argue about CGC's consistency on PQ designations, that's a completely separate argument. Are you really going to sit there and tell us that the same ST #110 CGC 7.0 book with WHITE pages would sell for the same price as this OW copy? On any given day, absolutely. And you cannot state otherwise. That's the problem with anecdotal evidence....it cannot be tested using the scientific method. I understand that "PQ" enthusiasts love to look for that anecdotal evidence and say "A-ha-, see!". And a day or week or two later a CR/OW book sells for the same price or more even, and the room falls silent. "PQ" obviously matters to you and loads others, but it does not matter enough to enough others for it to truly and/or significantly affect price in the grand scheme of things. If a person makes a buying decision based only on "PQ", they are literally just buying the label, not the book. We are always told to do the exact opposite of that. -J. Actually, I have stated otherwise...anecdotal or not...it's a reality. I'm not a "PQ snob"...the primary reason it matters to me is because I know it matters to others...and impacts the market price should I ever decide to sell a book. And we pay CGC good money for their opinion on the grades and PQ of those slabbed books. Although sometimes their consistency leaves something to be desired, we cannot see inside a slabbed book therefore their opinion/label is all we have to go on. I think the "buy the book not the label" really only applies to the grade designation and visual appeal of the book, not the PQ. I think the key is - does PQ factor into the grade already? If i does, that should mean that between a W book and a OW book in 6.0.... the W book must have other issues holdin it back (since its not the PQ) and it might only be a 5.5 or lower structurally etc. if it had OW PQ. So there would be basis for saying that two equal graded books, it might be the one with the lowest PQ that must be better on other areas... ___ On the other hand i PQ does NOT factor into the grade, then it could be considered something extra and I would assume a price premium for equally graded books. I am not aware if it does or does not factor into the grade already, but I actually think it does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
