Daveb25 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Buyer probably intends to have it unrestored. I dropped out after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly good at determining unrestored value, but at a loss with restored books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was only slight resto snd still a 7.5 it will probably be rrreversed to universal. Daveb25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Thought this was pretty cool. Didn't know about this either The inspiration for the Joker Conrad Veidt from the 1928 film "The Man Who Laughs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, by request, give it the blue label grade it would get (in this case maybe 5.0) if it was CT scraped please without actually doing the removal. No reason other than a couple extra bucks to actually deface the book and turn it ugly. Shame. Shame. Shame. Or just treat it like additional damage and grade it harshly, point out where the CT is, anything but encouraging people to remove portions of the book itself. Just don't get how it is supposed to be more desirable with pieces of the book gone instead of letting them remain and treating the color touch like ink instead of polonium.

I've had my copy now for over 9 years and still loving it With HA 2.0 selling for $222k, would FMV be $200k ish now? Does the white pages offset the tape?

Dark Knight Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It was also a copy with very high eye appeal for its grade. And yeah the white pages too boosted up the final price since that's all the rave now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatCaesarsGhost Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) On that 2.0? Can we talk about that a minute? our collective shock and awe has so far been confined to a thread with “Heritage” in the title, so I think it appropriate we take the matter up here. I think everyone on this thread already values Bat 1 highly, but still. $220k for a 2.0? is this a bubble? Is this sustainable? What is the future for Bat 1?
