F For Fake Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 On 10/8/2021 at 12:43 AM, Thisisrequired said: I would say you did well on the joes. If certain buyers didn't hate their stupid stickers they put on slabs I guarantee these would have sold for $15 or $20 more. Thanks! Yeah, I was actually happy to get them at that price. Ultimately cheaper than if bought them raw and paid to have them slabbed and shipped back, and I didn’t have to wait a year for them to get graded. For these books, 9.4/9.6 are good enough for me.

Ah, there’s that Grendel 3! Ha Sorry I ran it up on you, I’m glad it went to a boardie. I’m also trying to finish the set in 9.6. The painful thing is I had a 9.6 sitting in an online cart for $155 for MONTHS, and I just failed to pull the trigger. Then Netflix announcements hit, and now this is a $300+ book. Congrats and enjoy! djpinkpanther67 and SuperBird 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! Congratulations on the upgrade. I was considering getting the Head Lopper, but I decided I had spent enough this auction. Glad it went to a Boardee SuperBird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyed them back last year when I got my 1 in 9.6, and was like... ehhh do I need these? (and then I did lol) F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Awesome looks like about 80% of my auctions. GI joe is my go to title to “fill the box” to offset shipping. Once I would land one of the bigger books I would swing at most of the Joe books. I actually have some books I need in the final sessions so only bid on the 25 and 80 in 9.8. And yes you did well on those. F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the significance of this! Tell me more Here is one of mine, as you see Stan isn't doing Spidey's thwip nor is it "red signature" on the label. Mine is what happened if you submitted yourself and requested the "limited label". YOURS ON THE OTHER HAND the red signature and "thwip" was only available through Stan Lee Collectables website, where it was considered official "Stan Lee Merchandise!" They got their own specific label, since they were the "official brand" of Stan and a company that Stan would do "especially for" with the limited's and etc ernster, D2 and ThothAmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have "new" Stan labels in the future, but the licensing for these 2 examples is less likely to be redone. These CGC "label" or really any of the labels are still new to marker, so anything if possible but so far so good Edited October 8, 2021 by ADAMANTIUM D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, J Scott is an amazing artist, which is extra disappointing when he puts himself in the box of his single figure poses all the time That Stan Lee sketch is bang on.
