Y'know, I don't give a friggin' hoot if you grade my Iron Man #24 or not!

So you listed this one up as a 9.6 and sold it for $24.95.

 

Wouldn't it have paid off to have it graded by CGC if it was truly a 9.6?

I beg your pardon . . . $24.99

 

And, to answer your question, No.

 

The trouble with HG books like this, they are a tough sell, being mid-run in the title with no real key aspects. It's a great book, but not a lot of buyers are searching for "Iron Man #24". If I listed this book at $14.99 or $19.99, that's probably what it would have sold at. It is directed at the completionist collector, who knows I have HQ product, that the books are already archived, and are guaranteed delivered without any question as to damage or loss, within one week of purchase, anywhere in the world. Repeat clients are responsible for over %75 of my sales, both on eBay and privately.

 

Having this slabbed would have been throwing money into CGC's coffers only. I've had numerous 9.4's of siimilar class books that don't even sell for $50 on eBay - where's the economics in that, if CGC gets $35???

8.5. What a lame villan!

 

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Iron Man beat the Minotaur.
