Not too shabby at all... my instinctively picking up NBA Finals Game 5 ticks (going with my wife) has thrown a rather large wrench into the works as well.

rjpb Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I threw down bids on 275 lots, and all but a few I had the high bid at one point. My usual win rate with CC auctions is about 5%, and I'd be stoked if that held up. Down to 168 as I type this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is definitely a great cover, but I simply don't see $38.5K or whatever it will sell for "worth of goodness" in this book here. Especially when you have a slabbed 9.0 Larson copy and another unslabbed supposedly NM copy out there somewhere. But to each, there own. And a boardie owns the mile high copy too Would that be this one or are we talking another ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's an actual NM copy, but that's what Chuck has it listed as in his MH catalogue. Makes me wonder where some of these Church Centaur books are since they all seem to be scattered to the wind, unlike the Fox runs, Tep runs, Timely runs, etc. which have pretty much stayed intact to this point in time.

Dealers have certainly made up such certs when selling collections in the past. I don't know whether CC intends to do so this time. I'm thinking maybe not or we would have heard something by now, but I don't actually know. exitmusicblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
