Hi, thanks for the offer, but that is a tad low. I'm looking for offers of atleast $100 and I wouldn't expect any offers past $200.

 

It is very difficult to determine the FMV of a book like this. Thank you everyone for your interest so far.

 

edit:

 

The PMs keep coming in.

 

I'll make a decision in a day or two. By then I think most people who are interested would have PMed me .. then I'll probably come up with a "buy it now" price based on the offers I have received... first person to pm me then gets it.

 

however, if before that someone makes an offer i can't refuse... i'll let them have it.

 

Also if you want more pics, let me know.

Man, that's a tough one. I'd imagine that the stamp removal would drop the price considerably (of which you've done). Just not sure how much. Is this considered an "Apparent VF-" book?

Yes, I would consider it an Apparent VF-. Do you guys think I'm grading it fairly based on the pic and description?

 

Over a year ago I posted this in the grading forum (different pics) and the grades for it that were suggested ranged from 7.0 to 8.0. At the time I didn't know it was missing the stamp.

[supapimp]

nope it would be a "qualified" VF- 7.5 grade since the book is incomplete.

 

[followtheleader]

Thanks pimp.

[eddly]

Ok thanks I wasn't sure.

I think you're a bit optimistic . . . that impact damage to the ULFC probably drops it to FN 6.0, 6.5 at best

I must've been on Holiday . . .

[eddly]

Ok lets call it 6.5 at best then. I'm not going to argue

Holy... I agree with you Divad

I think you could get around $150 on ebay for it with relative ease--there is always some wolverine fan that can't afford to pay the crazy prices this book commands so they should jump all over this decent looking copy- stamp or not! Pretty good chance you wil sell it here too!

I've got the MVS ,if anyone wants to play comic doc.$5,shipped.

Missing a MVS is one of the most grievious problems you can have with a comic to Bronze collectors...good luck...

 

But at least you aren't advertising the comic as "in grade" without the stamp as others have done....

Highest bid so far is $100.

 

Just a little history on this book:

 

I purchased it off ebay back in 1998 as VF. All the damaged was described perfectly... but they neglected to mention that there was no marvel stamp. I paid $140.

[Inhuman Fiend]

I would go the eBay route as well...heck, on eBay that book is at least a 9.2!

 

BTW...just curious...did you try and get your money back from the eBay seller who did not disclose the missing stamp?

[eddly]

I didn't know about stamps back in 1998 when I bought it. Only found out about that last year from reading the boards here. After seven years, there really isn't much I can do. I really just want to break even on this, and move on.

Don't worry, you should be able to get your money back by going the eBay route. You'll find plenty of potential buyers there who are willing to overlook the missing stamp to get their hands on an affordable copy.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I believe that most collectors on this board (like me) totally avoid incomplete books unless they are rare or dirt cheap.

 

Best of luck!

according to www.gpanalysis.com CGC qualified 6.5-7.5 copies of this book have been selling at auction for between $200 - $300 --I would not sell this book for $100 if i were you! put it on ebay!!

Thanks for the info. I'll still entertain offers here. But it certainly looks like this book is worth more than $35 now.
