If I were seriously going after the Church Fantastic 3, I would want something in the $150k to $200k. If I was going after some of the pre hero More Funs, probably $5k to $10k would be good. Thanks! No fantastic 3 for me that's for sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Jon is going to make life changing money on this collection. Most books will sell for very good prices. Some will sell for stupid money. No matter what they go for, he will make a substantial profit on his initial envestment on every piece. He bought most of them back when prices were a joke by today's prices. I don't peg him for a guy that had that in mind when he bought them. He has always been a true fan and credit to our hobby. I wish him all the best and hope he drains all our wallets dry! lou_fine, gino2paulus2 and SushiX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well outside my comfort zone, that's for sure. Where are the extensively restored books? Well, anyone of the 3 books on top in the picture below should take care of your needs then: On 3/11/2017 at 7:38 PM, Sqeggs said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch, you have got to be one of the most dense people I have ever encountered on a message board. And FYI, if someone bids on an item and has the high bid, they win. If they bid and someone outbids them, they lose (sort of the definition of an auction). If I place a low ball offer and get outbid, someone was willing to pay more so no, it doesn't drive up the price or show artificial "real" bidder interest.

Dark Knight Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I thought about putting a strong bid on the Fantastic 3 book, but since I have a copy and I don't want to be selfish to have a 2nd, I'll let you guys bid among each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkdrawer Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Whatever Fantastic 3 sells for, I can almost guarantee Jon will be happier and in a better financial position than the new owner of it. 1/4 mill vs a book that most mortal men just dont understand or even heard of.
