Does anyone care if it's a 9.6 from a personal collection or a 9.6 they purchased from someone else? Yes. Wait. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krismusic Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 As to the OP question I agree with @Buzzetta and the other board member when someone says its from their personal collection I have a tiny amount of hope and confidence that the book was well taken care of and hope that there is less of a chance there will be restoration. But I also like the back story. As for eBay though it tough as many pointed out 99.99% of stuff on there is from "my personal collection" it's just another marketing tactic. I trust the board members here specially ones that are more established or had pervious posts about finds from retired person etc.. So in some cases I can see where caring about if a comic came from a personal collection having some meaning or weight but on eBay I will take that note with a grain of salt.

Buzzetta Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I bought this Romita Jr Spider-man page for $200 off a 0 Feedback Buyer a few years ago on eBay... It was at auction for a starting bid of $200 and I was the only bidder with a lot of people watching. Another board member by chance said he was watching it and saw that it sold but didn't want to pull the trigger because it was a 0 feedback buyer. I was the one that bought it as I love a good panel page that tells the story on that single page. I met the seller at a Starbucks in NYC to pick it up. The board member for awhile was asking me to sell it to them but that's not happening. I don't care about discussing what I paid since it is framed and hanging up and not going anywhere. I have done extremely well on eBay as a buyer due to other people's paranoia and hesitation in buying on eBay.
