cheetah Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah, I think if we all made such good investments, this would be a happy thread, indeed. The #4 on its own deserves major kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It's not going to get any better with collectors like me out there who are inexperienced at grading or don't open the books up much in order to keep them in the best condition. I've had that #1 for almost 20 years and I probably opened the bag and looked at it three or four times since I bought it. And it was worse with higher grade books. I bought them in 1993 and I doubt I opened them up more than twice. I guess the lesson is to stick with slabbed books until I'm educated further in the fine art of inspection. Oh well, My $750 investment in the #s 3,4 and 6 should be worth $25-30 grand now. Not bad. Now what to send in next? I've got a nice TTA #35 and an FF #12. I'll probably send in one of my #57s.I've got one that is probably at least 9.0 but then again, who knows! That's an amazing rate of return .

Aman619 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 woulda been better is the 1 had panned out as well as the others though. Like it was SUPPOSED to... if it hadnt been restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassemble Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Received this week from CGC. Obviously, a major disappoinment with #1 and a slight one with #3 (a small stain on inside URC; you tell me if it looks worse than #6 ...) but not so with #6.

HighVoltage Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 They all are nice. So sorry about the #1... but it still presents very well. Love the #3. It's one of my fave Avengers covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Bob you weren't tempted to run this in a Comclink auction? I know they have a 9.4 in their next auction but straight white pages would pay a huge premimim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have a 9.4 in their next auction but straight white pages would pay a huge premimim. I got an outstanding price for the book, and didn't have to pay anyone a commission. Especially a house that runs auctions with the identities of the bidders kept secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
