Talk about selling the label rather than the comic

[gozer]

I just thought this ebay auction was odd ...

 

One of the only comic auctions I've ever seen where there IS an image,

but it does NOT show the book!

 

A THOUSAND dollar comic, and you have to go look in Gerber to find

out which issue of Rangers it actually is!

 

We ARE the weirdest monkees ever.

I don't get it.

if the books are worth that much, then I think there is a feeling that the seller ought to include a full scan of the book, back and front, instead of a chintzy digital photo of just the label. Showcase the product as much as possible.

Absolutely. Show the full book. All 9.X books are not created equal, even though they may grade equally. How centered is it? How well cut? Any writing allowed in the grade? How good are the colors (the book does seem to show some of the classic red fading (but slight based on the small area) that Fiction House is plagued with. It's like buying a car based on a photo of the door.

Or worse yet, just the pink slip!
