ADAMANTIUM Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Blowing my mind grapes that CGC decides to slab these? I found a "fine" condition one for $8 like 3 years or so ago, but it is a little less than half an inch thick! I thought for sure that CGC wouldn't ever slab them! @Namtak Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) That's a nice early book, I just wish the cover or contents were a little more compelling / sexier. I'm not sure that one will ever go for big bucks. At $860 I'm thinking that's already got room to move down or at least not up in that grade. Probably the only thing keeping it at 860 for now is that most people wouldn't even know you can send them in yet.

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Spoiler sounds about right after the 9,8 that started the thread as all the same pic listings and never shipping is why it's so low, probably? After this particular listing sold for $40,000 and etc several times with the same pic in the listing, here is yet another one. At this point it is just looking like the world may never know, the vale, or anytime soon.? as all the same pic listings and never shipping is why it's so low, probably? 1st pic I posted a page back in this thread, the new one is the single same pic listing...

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) This is what you get when clicking on any of the listings (same pics) $2000 or over Edited August 21, 2023 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember of the few emails that I've sent to gocollect were for mags to be valued along with star wars 4 35 cent. Turns out the #4 sw was there but it is 35c in the search compared with #1-3 35 cent easier search... Long story but idk why it is labeled in the search different, just keeps people from perusing easy idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shared that experience but with Gameboy, the NES the parents would afford cause they played too, but I remember a store called funcoland that had a print out sheet of what all was available. Unfortunately they never had them in stock, not quite the selection there is nowadays 😂 or not a lot of people trading back in for a few dollars Edited October 24, 2023 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
