Unsold Action #1 and Detective 27

[kav]

It seems popular to give Kav grief AGAIN lately-- and that's a shame.

 

I didn't see this thread as trolling-- I was kind of interested to see this was listed and did not know about it until this thread.

Lotta butthurt after my comments about selling to comic shops-the aching will die down after a while.

Dude trolls my thread and calls me a troll-sounds legit.

 

careful with the use of the "Dude" please.

'Guy' I mean

Hello Troll Guy!

Well, it is 1.5 Million Dollars. I mean, even if you've got the dough, it's 1.5 million dollars. That's a heavy decision right there.

[kav]

yep

plus the fact its been sitten there a while would give you pause

[Bronty]

I think it's as simple as what Rob stated. They're no bargain. At 1m they'd be gone. At 1.5 they will sit

[makeminemego]

Wow. A back cover scan. From Metropolis. Don't see that everyday.

[VintageComics]

Ah

that makes sense

I always assumed action #1 was always in demand with more people wanting it than willing to sell

 

There is a relationship between price and demand. If the books are priced on the high side buyers won't pull the trigger. You know this.

 

Maybe the books are not owned by Metro and the consignor is inflexible and waiting to get their price. There are plenty of owners

 

Also, the larger the deal the slower the buyer moves in my opinion. Nobody wants to rush giving away 5 or 6 figures.

 

Finally, the larger the price the smaller the bidding pool.

Eh, no.

Eh, no.

 

I hope you were stroking your upper lip and frowning slightly when you typed that....

interesting that they note a "small amount of glue" on the Action 1 yet it was given blue label. Is that common?

 

by the way-- the price is 7 figures

 

1500000

1234567

 

that's a lotta dough ray me!

[01TheDude]

one other thing-- am I correct to assume the more valuable of the two books here is the Tec 27?

 

some graders notes would be nice.

Maybe and I'm just speculating if the glue is no longer holding anything together but has separated and is just 'there' it is no longer considered 'restoration'. Like if you just spilled a dab of glue on a comic.

 

Yep fa so la tea man thats a lotta cabbage

So you have no clue, but are answering the question anyways.

 

Great.

[kav]

I'm just trying to learn

How does cgc grade separated glue?

Do you sell or fix those machines that fire tennis balls?

[steveinthecity]

Yes, a very small amount of glue on a GA book will receive a Universal label, but the glue will also be disclosed on the label.

 

There's much more discussion on this issue in the GA section.
