burntboy Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 harry, are you going to keep us in suspense or will we see a list before the books start showing up at pedigree? i'll have a full disclosure here as soon as the last batch gets graded, which should be in about 10 days........................

RickHigh Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hey, Burntboy. Can't wait to see that list!! In the meantime, he's another 10 center that you don't see that often. Not super high grade, but not too bad. This is the first appearance of the Atomic Knights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 complete list of 100 HG SA DC's will be in the Marketplace thread tomorrow..... With asking prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntboy Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Nope - no prices yet - that's gonna take some research. as with the Green Lanterns i sold 6 months ago, it takes a while to figure out what these books are likely to be worth. there is SO little data to use as a guide, as these books don't sell too often. one thing i can share with you is that in addition to GPA data, i will be using whatever "asking prices" the major dealers have been posting for slabbed DC books in the same condition and time range - and then beating those prices by a decent margin. seems to me that much of that retail pricing just hasn't been moving a lot of books off the shelves and i intend to sell these babies........ i figure the Keys and highest graded books will go fast and the rest may linger for a while, but i do have the luxury of time............... i asked Brad (redhook) to see what he could come up with as a logo for a simple COA as a couple of folks have suggested and i'm going back to Sid's tomorrow to take pictures of the old building. i lived less than a block away for 10 years. i moved in on the weekend of my 9th birthday and basically moved out when i got drafted a month after i turned 19................

Sounds awesome, Harry. Let me know if you need input on any of the prices, since a lot of sales for these types of books take place offline and won't show up in GPA. I promise to be objective (well, at least for books below 9.4 ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFB Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Here's a recent pickup of mine.... A very tough book to find in high grade and with bright colors. First Legion "tryout" issue according to some.

Aman619 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 i asked Brad (redhook) to see what he could come up with as a logo for a simple COA as a couple of folks have suggested and i'm going back to Sid's tomorrow to take pictures of the old building. i lived less than a block away for 10 years. i moved in on the weekend of my 9th birthday and basically moved out when i got drafted a month after i turned 19................ try not to just do a straight on boring shot of the front of the store to be put in a box on the certificate. Shoot it to integrade with the type. And try to captur ethat long ago Opie of Mayberry, small town luncheonette that is no more" feeling. Evoke the nostalgia for a time gone by!!! Maybe show the store at the bottom with clouds in the sky and create a border all around to frame the copy above it. Maybe at the top: From the BURNTBOY S I D'S L U N C H E O N E T T E (in a banner) Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Nice pickup FFB but those DC covers never cease to amaze with with how stupid they can get. New heights of lameness with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonker Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hey, I'm all for lightening up. It's just a buzz-kill sometimes to have these 10-centers looked at critically from middle-aged 21st-century eyes. I don't really come here for that, I get plenty of that kind of critical thinking in real life. Besides, most comics would be such easy targets if that's what we're all about. Instead, I'd rather appreciate them for what they tried to be, looking from the point of view of the 8 to 11 year olds many of us were when comics first became cool for us. Just a thought.
