I guess there's no such thing as a run-filler any more. To me that's a $20 book raw.

I couldn't agree more 

Are you two sure about this, because word on the street was that it was 2 boardies (i.e. jimbo and Courageius Cat) that were in heat for this book and were in a big cat fight for it and took it all the way up to the final $3,960 winning price?

My thinking is that if it ever came back to market on a second go-round here, it would be probably one of the few Promise retread winners considering how well the Promise copy of Mask 1 did on its second go round. 

I agree.  It seemed like it belonged in the 100k club at the time (at least given the sorts of lesser seeming books that were joining in that parade at the time)  and was one of the few disappointments of the auction at 60k imo. 

Agree 110% with you that whoever got the Promise copy of Suspense 8 got it for a steal of a deal.  Especially when you consider that it was a CGC 9.2 graded copy with the next highest graded much further down at only CGC 7.5.  The single highest graded copy of a L.B. Cole all-time classic cover for only $60K, considering all of the other silly money being paid for PCH books lately in much lesser grades.  If only I could afford it.

Isn't the Church copy known to be in the 9.6 range? 

No idea about the grade except I know that Chuck had it listed as a NM+ copy in his Mile High catalog.  The one time that I did see it was when it was sitting on the top shelf inside a glass enclosed mahogoney amoire display cabinet with the Church copy of Mask 1 right beside it during the Diamond Int'l Galleries grand opening.  Absolutely no need to worry about dull colors here as even from a distance, the colors were just glowing as if the book had just come right off the printing press!!

I know you've stated you're not tech savvy,  but it should be the same process as posting the HA and other books you post here.

Copying pictures from auction websites such as HA, CC, or CL is just that.................nice and simple copy and then paste.  

Copying pictures from your camera to a computer................definitely NOT the same thing, let alone trying to copy it to a another platform.

My former copy years ago. Bought it raw and slabbed it. As far as I know, there was no color touch removal.

Found my old photo of the book when I took it around 2008.  Had a spine roll which I never had pressed out.  I thought I slabbed it, but I was wrong.  It was sold raw and in its original state.

Digital camera?

If so, it should come with a USB connection. 

1. Plug wire into camera and other end into PC. 
2. Turn on camera.
3. PC should recognize the camera automatically and give you a file folder view into your pictures.
4. Copy picture to PC or into a post on the Forum.

For comparison purposes, was the auction commission fees the same for both as the key for the consignor is the net they receive in the end?  

Close enough to make CC seem like a worse place to sell.

Curious- when you sold it raw like this what grade did you give it?  Did you judge it as having potential for CGC 4.5?

It's exactly the same thing.  Take a pic with your smartphone.  Access the Boards with your smartphone.  Copy and paste the pic from your smartphone to your post.

Or if you access the Boards via a PC, plug your smartphone via USB into your PC.  Access the photo drive of your smartphone from your PC and copy and paste the pic to your post.

Or send an email via SmartPhone to yourself.  View your emails on your PC and download the photo.

The point being, that it is very simple to deal with photos taken viewa a digital camera or a Smart Phone.

Our frustration with lame IT excuses boileth over exactly the same! 

Dean will probably reply that he doesn't have one of those newfangled smartphones, he's still using a Motorola StarTac, or that he doesn't use a digital camera, he still uses an old analog film camera.

At that time, I was sort of new in the hobby and didn't know anything about pressing and such.  I gave it a GD/VG grade. Now obviously it looks better with that spine roll press.

Yeah those were pretty dark- one upside of more books coming to auction, it's getting a bit easier to let the uglies go...

however I just couldn't resist this with the entire bottom edge of the cover missing!  Lol!  Telling myself it works visually with the other jagged edges in the composition, and conceptually in terms of the degradation and decay the dug grave foretells.  

I tried really hard to talk myself into this one!  You are obviously better at rationalization than I am.  There were a few other low graders that inched past my max bid.  I did get the Blue Bolt #113.  Clean punch holes don't bother me!

He's laying low, trying to avoid some visitors from down South.

haha- I was admiring that 113 too. def a very cool looking low grade book.  I wonder what other books that person had in their 3 ring binder?

Definitely more up with the times as I DO have one of those newfangled cell phones (i.e. an iPhone 6) and my better half has an iPhone 12 which she complains about every single day wishing that she could get her 6 back instead of the 12 that the kids gave her for Christmas the other year. 

Now, as for my PC at home which has all of my ongoing worksheets, documents, and the one which I am using right now and for pretty much everything else, that indeed might be a completely different story there.
