[rob_react]

bump...

 

I wish I'd posted the buyer of the 9.2's ebay ID. I know it wasn't baddtiming/ matt@napahomes, but yet here-

 

Star Wars .35 cent Variants CGC Best!

 

he lists his "new label" 9.2 as 1 of 1 in that grade. I've got a question into him asking if it's indeed the same book. If it is, what on Earth could his reserve be for this auction? This book sold for 3600+ in July, he had to buy it from someone else, presumably for a premium and now he wants to flip it? Are we looking at a reserve base of $5000 for just the #1? I wish they had a fainting graemlin....

I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person! I forgot that Dan's old book was NEVER in the census. That's what I get for posting without having my second cup of coffee.

$7,600.00 and the reserve not met yet!!!!!!!! I guess there is still 3 days left.

.......Oh and did I mention the top bidder has zero feedback

[rob_react]

I'm thinking it's a fly-by-nighter just trying to see what the reserve is.

 

The under-bidder did bid $7500 so what do I know.

 

Well, I do know one thing, that price is nutso.

Somebody better break the news to Light that the 20K he had planned on budgeting to reaquire the complete 35 cent variant group may not be enough!

Hey, now. He can always get lucky and pick them up for $3 a piece from a unwitting dealer, the way I got my copies of #'s 2 and 4.

According to some board members, you are a theif and need to go back and give that poor unwitting dealer some serious coinage.

C'mon, I thought it was OK to rip off dealers as much as you wanted-they're supposed to be the experts. It's the small children, widows and pensioneers you gotta pay full price to.

Wow, up to $8100 now...pretty amazing, but it IS the highest graded book in the census, and there are some major Star Wars fans out there.

 

I've never understood the appeal of this book, but I've watched it increase steadily increase the price guide since the late 70s. It must be fairly "rare" for there to be so few graded copies and for the lone 9.2 to be the highest.

It's one of the more common 35-centers I believe, but relative to the rest of the 35-centers, the price is driven by the demand rather than the supply. This books has crossover-collectible appeal (Star Wars collectors like this book), and there are many more people looking for Star Wars #1 (which pre-dates the movie by the way!), than say, Powerman #x.
