I took them for crippling back pain for many years, now I'm off them for good due to quite drastic side effects. So I have to get my endorphins a different way.

Who do they think they are, dealers? More market Sh$ting if you ask me. Finally, someone addressed the elephant in the room. Couldn't agree more. I just hate everyone who bids me up or outbids me, full stop. I wish they would cut it out. Ideally, I would announce publicly what book I'm after, and everyone would just back the hell off.

Since I have been after Amazing Mysteries Funnies V2#4 for the longest while now and I currently have the high bid at $320, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please arrange with all of the other potential bidders not to place any more bids so that I can wing this grail of a book for $320. Please tell all of the other bidders to ignore the last 2 auction results at something approaching $3,600 and $5,400 respectively, since they are no longer relevant due to this new rule we now have in place.

Hmm.........must consider retracting my bid now. Well, it's still less nickels and dimes as compared to the AMF V2#2 and V2#5 which are already at $4,302 and almost $9K respectively, with still another 20 days to go. With Tim's influence here, I am quite confident that my current high bid of $320 for only a 10 cents book should still hold and be good to go to bring this little baby back home to me.

Black_Adam Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I know it's not Golden Age, but I was surprised to see the CGC 8.0 Journey into Mystery #85 from the Jon Berk collection is now an 8.5 and listed for sale on Worldwide. I assume the bump in grade was due to a press/clean/resubmit. Does that indicate the comics from this collection weren't pressed before being graded by CGC the first time around?

I assume the bump in grade was due to a press/clean/resubmit. Does that indicate the comics from this collection weren't pressed before being graded by CGC the first time around? Yes, of course not, since a lot of the long time old school collectors like Jon and Magik with his current Heritage auction offerings don't really believe in pressing their books. Just take a look at the All-Select 4 which went from CGC 0.5 Poor to a raw Qualified Fine on Worldwide or with the Amazing Man 21 which went from restored with color touch to a scrapped out unrestored and was still able to retain its same Fine - condition grading on Worldwide. No point looking to buy since I believe they are both already resold at pretty much double the Berk CC prices. Goes to show that CGC is extremely punishing when it comes to grading unpressed books as most of Berk's books present much nicer relative to their CGC assigned grades, as confirmed by most board members here who have been pleasantly surprised after receiving their books in the mail.

comicnoir Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Also it would have taken Jon's books twice as long to reach market if he had them pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
