I got this for $482 which seemed low to me off of Comic Link the other day Pricing is difficult these days with so many auctions/sales not reported, and any BINs on eBay priced at 1.5 nosebleed. But yes, that does appear to be an ok price, with your cost being about $100 off GPA set two years ago. And way under the eBay asking price. But interesting thing about that GPA sale: 2020 2 $560 $351 Apr-30 $560 2096941012 Apr-09 $351 2096941012 However, the grading notes for your copy are WAY more attractive than the GPA sale copy referenced above. Personally, I would be happy with your purchase. I think I only have a 7.5. greggy, Larryw7 and comicartfan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I picked up a few books on Heritage recently on one of their Sunday auctions and everything went below recent GPA#s. All the books were SA and BA Spider-Man’s, CGC graded. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post batman_fan Posted January 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2023 Paid for my recent Clink winnings. A few Spiderman’s I needed Another Daredevil 33, not sure how many copies I own now. Not Brand Echh (my guilty pleasure). I have been trying to put the run together slowly. djpinkpanther67, Tec-Tac-Toe, ThothAmon and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster's Lair Comics Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Does anyone know why Comiclink's shipping is so high? CGC can send a box of 25 slabs for about $45. Comiclink sends one book and it's $65. 37 books is $250ish..... They are using the Diamond Comics method of turning their shipping department into an income stream.

Shipping through CGC was considerably more pre-Blackrock acquisition. Also, CL is probably baking in cost of supplies in their shipping where CGC could be considering that into their cost to slab. But I think the not paying retail is where the majority of the savings come from. I doubt CL is making much, if anything, from shipping charges. The cost of shipping these days is outrageous and getting more so every day it seems. Microchip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, I think it's cheaper. A slab that's well packed is about what? $16 retail with no paypal/ebay/pirateship discount? Cheaper if using literally ANY merchant account for shipping.

I have no idea where you are getting $65 for one book unless you live outside the US. I'm in CL checkout right now and it's $35 for 2-3 books (ground), sooo considerably cheaper than $65 for one book. Unless you want expedited shipping, which is of course far more expensive but FedEx charges an arm and a leg for overnight shipping so CL would of course pass that on.

It was decently expensive, not crazy. Shipping was $65. I did contact my auction coordinator, and they explained it was "new shipping rates".

I have 2 books won in this auction and my shipping charges are $35 for 2-3 books (that is the available tier because I won 2 books). How can shipping 1 book be more than 2-3? Now, Express Insured in $60 and Overnight Insured is $95 but that is not standard shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaard Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I don't know for sure, so I might be talking out of my hole, but maybe, based on the value of the book(s), they use a higher 'tier'? I did contact Spencer to express my displeasure of the drastic increase in shipping rates a couple of months ago. From one auction to the very next one, it seemed like I was paying almost double in shipping charges. Disappointing.

Black_Adam Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I don't like shipping to cost more than 10% of the total transaction. With shipping to Canada from Comiclink $95 now, I basically don't bid on any comic where my starting bid would be less than $1k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
