Prophet78 Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Grade it. He says 9.4, but after a quick grade from the pic, I say atleast a 8.5 and there is no way it would get a 9.2. What say ye? -Jeremy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthdiesel Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 9.0 - 4 spinal crease - 3 that break color; spinal corners dulled or some fuzziness going on there? Still a nice copy to own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_collector Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Nice looking book, but I'd go 9.0-9.2 depending on what mood the grader is that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet78 Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 I may pick it up. This book was popular for a little while, then fell on its face when slabbed copies came up. I have been watching pretty closely. My only concern (beyone the spine creases) was the bottom edge and those two bottom corners. I still say it is a bare minimum 8.5, but if I get it, slab it I would be happy with 8.5 and up depending on price. -Jeremy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfilosa Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I have a slabbed 9.0 that doesn't look anywhere as nice as that. Nice book but don't pay more than $40-50 because if you spend $25 to slab it, and it only back as a 9.0, you could bought a slabbed one to start with. Still, if the back is nice I think its at least a 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet78 Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Thanks for the advice SFILOSA, I have seen copies of 9.2 go for $125+ and then just a few weeks ago a 9.2 not sell at $99 and another 9.2 go for $85. I was going to buy that one, but the seller was a [!@#%^&^] so I decided not to biz. And that 9.2 was georgious! -Jeremy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfilosa Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I could be wrong, but I believe one of the X-Men #50 that you saw had an arrival date at the top. That would definitely elimanate a lot of potential buyers (and keep the price down). I try not to buy books with arrival dates unless it is a book that doesn't come up for sale very often.

LordRahl Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I say I was planning on bidding on it until the seller spam emailed me this morning to look at this book since I had been bidding on another #50. I HATE that, so now I won't bid. By the way, no way is that a 9.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan777 Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 8.5/9.2 depending on the the position of Orions belt and the moons gravitational pull over at cgc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArAich Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 8.5/9.2 depending on the the position of Orions belt and the moons gravitational pull over at cgc. 9.4 if Jupiter aligns with Mars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet78 Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Yeah, that book I bid on several times, and even after a relist, and I may have even canceled a bid. Because if I remember right that guy was the [!@#%^&^] who was rude to me. So I didn't want to do biz. After all of it that was the book that was up to $120 or so in the first auction and didn't meet reserve and then sold for $85 after relist. If I would have kept my bid in, that book could have hit alteast $100. The writing on the cover was the straw that canceled my bid. It was a very attractive book. -Jeremy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph0 Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 More importantly, are we supposed to believe that's a picture of "Gig Harbor Comics" on his auction? If so, he's got one of nicest looking stores sitting on probably some of the most expensive land.. must be making a killing Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
