Wow.... $9 book in NM goes for $250 in 9.9.....WOW! Could we chalk this one up to spider-mania?

I've been tracking this buyer for a long time. All I can say is he collects only the best and he has deep pockets!

 

 

[Guest]

this FLcales person seems to have an awful lot of 9.9s for sale. Whats the secret?

[greggy]

It's call pre-screening tons of 1980s and 1990s [!@#%^&^]!

[dam60]

Isn't this guy the one who bought the SW 8 in 9.9 or over $600??? I believe he is a Harvard educated doctor, but at this point I am just repeated hearsay.

 

DAM

 

[Guest]

looks like its working for him. You mean LATE 80s and 1990s stuff correct? I wouldnt be so quick as to count out the early 80s as a decent time period in comic history. After that well......

[greggy]

If it walks like a duck.....

[Rickdogg]

Flcales and diceguy seem to have purchased from the same collection. Check out the books offered by both, very similar indeed.

He's at Harvard, not sure if he's a professor though either student or professor. Anyways, this is one of those books where just about every person you see with it, has it in really high grade. Pretty bad buy price IMO. But it does look like a solidly graded 9.9

yep he is a doctor and has a killer collection of ASMs in high grade.

[Guest]

then they probably have long boxes filled with late 80s and beyond in 9.8-10.0 condition......scary....I wouldnt buy those books at those prices even if they were graded an 11.0!

[g-man]

i also believe the good doctor is high bidder on ASM #136 in 9.8 on vault. Last check it was over $1600.....

[Ariamus]

His E-bay ID says it all...spider9698. He only buys Spider-man in CGC 9.6 or better. When CGC finally does registry sets like NGC does for coins, you can bet that this guy will have a complete run of ASM in 9.6 or better on the boards.

[g-man]

i think he has 100-200 in 9.6 or better (or close to it) already

[greggy]

Yeah, him and another fool is fighting over that POS book!

[Ariamus]

FLcales has a nice Thor that I'm watching, 360 in a 9.8 for my Simonson set.

[Guest]

He seems to have a surplus of 9.8s and 9.9s in everything but the friggin early Joes im looking for! Doesnt anyone have these issues? My struggle continues....

[dam60]

Does it scare anyone else to have a 9.9 or a 10.0 of a book? I feel like books in that HG (1) are just because the grader felt like giving it such (2) can be damaged very easily . . .

 

I can see a difference between a 9.6 and a 9.8 SOME of the time, but a 9.8 and a 9.9 NONE of the time . . .

 

Plus, if that 9.9 ever gets damaged even down to 9.8 range, that $250 book probably isn't worth $40 . . . .

Its not that I would worry about damaging the book, its the fact that if they grade more of those at 9.9 -10.0 itll just kill the value!
