Why did you buy it?

[Mushroom]

If you think that was a good deal, then why wouldn't you BIN this one. Origin #3 is a five buck job and this one is $40??.

 

I suppose I am ignorant and I suppose that is why I don't collect moderns.

 

Transformers

Because no one gives a rat's [!@#%^&^] about Transformers: Armada #1. I figured if Darth's Origin #1 in 10.0 can sell for $2,000, a 10.0 issue of #3 should be worth at least $400. I think I'll try and flip it when I get it and see what happens.

Definitely flipper material during the X craze Origins are extremely common in HG with #3 being the most common IMO.

[doyle033]

looks nice. my favorite cover of that series. seems like a good deal to keep. to flip? might be a bit tougher. hope you get it though.

[ELBRUJO]

Good call, $400.00 book easy

[PovertyRow]

I don;t know. I think whomever BINS that book is just plain silly!

Bargain!

I think paying a super premium for any books released in the last ten years or so (with a few exceptions) is ludicrous. A silver age, bronze age, or even something from the mid-late 80's in that shape should demand a huge premium, but there is just too much ungraded stuff out there in perfect shape. I think it is insane to pay a huge premium for a 10 over a 9.8 as the difference is a judgement call at best. Once you get to 9.8 (even some 9.6's) you have pretty much a perfect book. On any given day, a 10 could be sent back and be graded a 9.8 or 9.9. Conversely, if someone has graded nothing but lower grade books all day and is all of a sudden shown a 9.8, they might see it as a 9.9 or a 10. There must be hundreds (if not thousands) of 9.8 quality Origin #3's out there. And when all is said and done, this is just a miniseries for a character with too many of them. Only a select few mini series ever remain important (like the original Wolverine mini or Dark Knight returns). I would buy a raw copy of this book for a few bucks and spend the rest elsewhere. I use CGC as a guide to help me buy high quality books, but IMHO I consider this type of purchase to be someone just buying the slab.

[Bonds25]

I agree. I wasn't buying it for future appeciation. I think $240 is a good price based on recent 10.0 sales, and I guess I'll find out in a month or 2 when I relist it.

[CosmicBob]

I saw you won that. I was looking at it, but didn't want to go above 200 for it, even though it was a 10.0. But your price seems like a nice deal.

 

Good luck flipping it!

[Darthdiesel]

Considering I sold mine in October last year for $460 - yes that was a good deal

Now good luck going for the whole set in 10.0
