I pulled an edge of spider verse 2 1st print out of a single short box for 5 bucks at a pawn shop. I have better luck asking than looking, many times theres a small stack somewhere behind the counter. WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't see many around my area that may try to check a few out next time I'm in a bigger city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their expert quoted the last three GPA prices for a 5.5.........but the most recent GPA sale for that grade was back in 2019 for $210,000. Things have changed a lot since 2019.......and he obviously didn't look at other grades for more recent sales. A 5.0 sold in April 2021 for $360,000. A 2.0 sold in September 2021 for $222,000.

Season 18 (this year) is the most current season .. but Pawn Stars usually offer 1/3 and up to around 1/2 price so bringing in that book was just for airtime.. that's an easy book for big auction houses Edited October 25, 2021 by littledoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point still stands. At that price.....it would still be a smart purchase this year. And yes.....they do like to offer 1/3 to 1/2 price because that obviously gives them more profit.....but there have been many instances where they offer much closer to the price they can sell an item for as long as it's not something that's difficult to sell. And Ricks usual B.S. of.........he has to spend a lot of money to get it framed.......it's going to take up a lot of room in the shop.......it's could take years to find a buyer.........wouldn't apply here.

In many of those cases it's never been comics. Usually militaria or entertainment memorabilia. They rarely pay up in the $200,000 range on something they aren't comfortable w or knowledgeable about.

Which is why they bring an expert in to educate them. And that expert gave them jacked up advice. If he had quoted the more recent sales figures on the lower grades, they would have looked like Moe Rons for passing on it. A 5.5 (even if it was over graded) for $28,000 more than the $222,000 that a 2.0 sold for last month.......and $110,000 less than the $360,000 that a 5.0 sold for in April? It was staged......but it was also a staged stupid decision. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think you're right about the episodes on this YouTube channel. The YouTube clip says it's from Season 18, Episode 29.......but the information I can find on the internet indicates Season 18 didn't contain that many episodes. So yeah.......who knows.

Robot Man Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Total set up. How would he know to randomly pull those out. That being said, even I would jump all over that load for $500.
