Number 6 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Ouch. Had to walk away from a couple of books I really wanted because the prices went at least double what I was expecting, not even keys either. Both had the “Original Owner” designation. Really hadn’t paid it that much mind but it seems to have had the affect of garnering pedigree prices for a non-pedigree book. Has anyone else noticed that phenomenon on Clink? Because if that “Original Owner” designation doesn’t account for these prices I may have to seriously re-evaluate this hobby. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke as a Joke Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 What is the validity of a non pedigree "original owner" notation? Rather vague to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed quite a few peds to stay away from, or at least analyze real closely before bidding. Original owner has lost its meaning, especially with dealer's touting that - no, your at least the second owner. Or maybe original owner never had any meaning, and has the same problem as some peds. Show me it means something besides uniformly carppy preservation that you can count on. MetalPSI and Turnando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many are experiencing that from the last Heritage ASM auction. The drink was for celebration, not sorrow or a headache. I had been trying to find a copy with an acceptable wrap I could live with for years now. It was $1400 more than the August clink 9.8, which I didn’t bid on, but far less than the $21k May example (which I was the underbidder). The May copy was superior to this one, but for $11k less Edited October 1, 2021 by djpinkpanther67 Correction batman_fan, namisgr, Off Panel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lizards2 Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 Got a couple so far that greggy will scoff at. The Sea Devils 17 was a score from a census viewpoint. Actually, the Superboy is too, and would be a new GPA low, if they used clink sales.

I don't like to pay over fmv or even. I have some extra money I need to put somewhere so went 20 to 30 percent over. Didn't win a single one of them. Wasn't even the runner up. My bids got beat by hundreds. Even on under $500 books they got beat by at least a 100. The original owner did great but imagine if he also had the cva sticker on his books!

Popular Post gumption Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 Went a little strong on this one yesterday on HA and yet was still surprised to win it.

Popular Post PKJ Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I have won more books in the current CL auction than all the others combined this year, was able to grab a few High grade Tomb of Dracula books I needed to upgrade for what people were asking for raw and in lesser grades a few months ago, same for TTA. A few below, Did swing at that Vampirella 1 in 7.0 and was sniped last minute.

F For Fake Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 This is what happens when you party a little too hard and decide to take a flyer on some cheap stuff, or as I call this “GI Joe: The Good Enough I Guess Collection”. Happy to have the War Child in 9.8. I’ll probably hang onto my 9.6 for the time being. Got sniped at the very last second on the Grendel 3, which is maybe a mixed blessing, as I could have had it for half that price a month ago. Stupid Netflix tax! We’ll see how the rest of the week goes. I don’t have my eye on anything big, but plenty of weird drek i apparently found appealing while flying the friendly skies. Don’t Drink and Clink, kids. Or do. I guess it’s fine! djpinkpanther67 and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
