But, I'm happy to have grabbed if for $175. My losing bids were #12 - $252, #13 - $225 ( I have a CBCS 9.8 WP at CGC for crossover regrade now. So, I wasn't as committed to this one), #18 - $185. All of those were last minute snipe bids that weren't good enough to win. There was just more competition among a very few of us who we're willing to go well beyond GPA to lock up books that don't come up often. As I said, I felt pretty confident those bids we're well more than enough and it turned out some of you guys we're willing to do even more. He lowered the price for me not you . I was just waiting for him to get rid of the shipping cost. Im hindsight I should have just bought it and not pay for it until he got rid of the shipping (which we had agreed too via email). And it sounds like I saved you $75! You owe me;-). Edited October 10, 2019 by Xenosmilus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMan Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Boardie Pickycollector had a Godzilla raw run for sale around here a while ago. And if it was from Pickycollector's collection, well, it's probably better than a 9.8. Edited October 10, 2019 by NoMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books are plentiful. Your time will come. wormboy, Timmay and Xenosmilus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a Grand Seiko SBGR023 tho! http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=msg&th=1841774&rid=0 Here's what someone says on the Seiko forum about the Godzilla Grand Seiko (I know you don't care): The strength of the Grand Seiko watch is met with the power and force of the king of monsters and with it a brand new creation in the sport collection is born. The creature makes its fierce presence on the watch in a number of ways. Godzilla's signature roar and the "heat ray beam" that it shoots from his mouth to strike his opponents is expressed in the rays of the red dial.

I think he had the raws posted a few weeks back and also he said he would not break up the run (I asked). It was all or nothing, very picky lol.

They are the books from my collection, that is why I don't want to break the run. it seems cheap now that I see this eBay insanity. speedcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only for the 9.8's. I think the ones that can get good money are 6,8 and 14. Big money 12,13,18 and 23, REALLY big money 15,16,17 and 24. Just my . Anything else I'd say $100-ish.

Xenosmilus Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 My fear may have come true. That auction might have driven up the prices for Godzilla's, There is a 9.8 #23 for sale on eBay for $250 . I spent $200 on mine and that that was overpriced!

speedcake Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I’ll just stick with my quest for a nice complete raw set. The premium for these 9.8s seems a little nuts Corona smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedcake Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I hope you get it done! It’s a really cool series, and if it’s truly tough to find 9.8s then I’d imagine the pricing is here to stay on them. Xenosmilus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
