my last five CGCs

[bubbles-migration]

 

received the last of my CGCs in the mail today, I would like some input on the way I should sell them. Grades were Spidey # 30 8.5 VF+ white pages , # 54 8.5 VF+ off-white pages , # 37 7.0 white pages , # 29 6.0 off-white to white , and # 33 appparent 8.0 VF slight pro. color touch small amount off-white. help me out guys, one big lot or separately? Yes, I do think the 8.5s were better, but I think I got good grading this time.

Sell the 8.5's seperately, and sell the others together.............?

I've only been watching a few months, do the higher grade books have white pages more often than say 20%?? I'm leaning toward a big lot, with virtually throwing in the restored book. I don't like the prices I am seeing lately on Spideys in the 30-37 range. #30 should be a $150 according to guide.

I would sell them seperately. My experience on ebay is that you get a lower return for bulk lots. I personally don't like bidding on bulk CGC deals.

Were these the grades you were expecting? Did you notice if CGC graded these harshly?

Sell the 8.5's and white paged books separately w/ reasonable BIN's that you can live with. For some reason, ppl will pay more for a 7.0 with white pages then they will with off-white to white.

I had what I thought were 8 NM books (and bought them as such..) but they came back 2 at 9.4, 2 at 9.0, and 4 at 8.5.

 

(Kind of disappointing actually... If this is a time of stricter grading because of all the new competition, then that's unfortunate. You'd hope for the same grading standard across the board and across time.)

Keep them until 6 months before the next movie.

I always get best results when I sell them separately...and with out a reserve....

I better be careful. The censors might be watching. sshhh. After my experience with their grading the last 3 months, I'm not surprised today. I do think the two 8.5 comics are VF/NM.

i agree with flipper, i've noticed the market for slabbed books is slowing down big time. you can thank joe_collector and deke for that

Isn't there an old saying that goes, " I'm a little worried this whole Spider-man / CGC thing is going to [!@#%^&^] out even worse than it has in the last few months." ? Confucius maybe???

I personally feel some people sell their books for that reason. Usually I find in a few years they say, Oh, why did I ever sell them!

 

So, if you don't need the money, I'd keep them until you do. You'll be glad in 20 or 30 years, trust me.

Sell them separately. The VF+ books can sell to high grade collectors but they won't give you much for the FN/VF or restored book. Put a reserve about 20% below guide on them or start the bidding 20% below guide. Put no reserve on the restored book and hope you get 30% of guide for that book.

 

There are so many ASM being sold on eBay that I have stopped even looking at them. I know five years from now, I will be able to get them no problem. And I really don't think the prices will be much higher.

 

Just my thoughts.

I don't know. I thought with a name like Bubbles you'd be a bit, well ...... younger. But ok then, in 5 or 10 years you'll be glad you did.
