Or a good way to have someone on tv point out that the eye appeal is lacking ! wonder if he sold by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't so sold on that. I thought the copy in and of itself had decent eye appeal. I do think that it was substandard compared to another book around the grade that might have presented better than grade. I don't have access to Heritage at work so I cannot compare. Also, let's be honest. Anyone on the dealer side of things is not going to gush about how great it is even if it is great. I would also be curious to know if Torpedo made an offer on the book "It's doesn't have great eye appeal but if you are looking for cash perhaps we could work it out." Any chance the owner of the book (even if at that time) can shed some light on this book and that episode? I remember when Greg Reece was on he described the experience.

Bronty Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think it’s a fair point that it doesn’t look amazing fir a 5.5. That said given covid price increases he may well have sold at a good profit by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 And sure the dealers won’t gush, esp if interested, I agree. But they weren’t unfair either IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aman619 Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 Figures. Every comic segment on that show is a setup. Always a known professional,dealer or collector. As if they’d ever really sell to a low bidding pawn shop setup. grendelbo, Point Five, waaaghboss and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Linguini Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I was asked if I wanted to go on Pawn Stars. This was about five months ago. It was not for a comic book. They looked through my comic collection on myslabbedcomics and said they had TWO items of mine they wanted to write a "proposal" for to see if it made sense to bring me onto the show. I would have to pay my own air fair BTW. Anyways, They asked me if I would be ok with having their expert break open one of my CGC cases to examine the condition of the item. I told the person that the company that graded the item would be shown on the show as experts. So yeah my conclusion is that the entire show is fake. And yes they told me that any offers made for my items would not be confirmed sales. pemart1966, Maskedvigilante , grendelbo and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chum has some lawsuits as well. However most parts are scripted.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
