greggy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Nope..who knows how they will grade out. However, he says that he is finally going to do a proper inventory so he'll know what gems he still has left. That's what I'd say also...

icefires Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 I don't think he meant that comment the way it is being received. Then why not explain your perception. My perception is that he is calling Arthur an insufficiently_thoughtful_person for paying too much for this book (that he has been searching for for 8 years). Greggy does not even have a 9.4 of this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggy does not even have a 9.4 of this book. would've been tough to find a slabbed 9.4 eight years ago . don't see why the price paid should be criticized until the next copy comes along and it sells for a drastically different amount- if that were even to happen.

And it is tough to find a slabbed 9.4 today - only two copies exist, and this one is the only one that has been up for sale - EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awe4one Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) You're not a totally impartial observer here... Let's put this issue in perspective shall we: - A 100 pager...but not the 1st 100 pager. - Adams Batman cover...but not the 1st Adams Bats cover or even a SH compilation cover (DC-6). - It's a reprint comic...nothing original but the cover and a couple illustrations. - HG copies are numerous but very few have graded as high as 9.4. That in itself doesn't necessitate 2K. I'm happy for Joker...but I can't help but to think there are few people (count on one hand?) that would be willing to pay over 1K for the issue. And don't try to use the auction as proof otherwise. Some of those were thrill bids with no expectation by the bidders they were going to win... This auction proved one thing and one thing only...someone has bragging rights to the highest graded copy of a moderately desirable issue in a competitive collecting genre that has one winner and numerous followers...

Jim You're right. I would not pay half of that even though I would love to have it. But I am not going to talk about "losing your tits" for someone who wants it that badly. The content of this book, the cover, and whatever else is in the eye of the beholder. To each his own. Not everyone has the same values for each thing. Arthur got what he has really wanted for a very long time, and he is extremely happy, who are we to criticize? I am very very happy for him.

I will go out on a limb and say his comment centered more around greggy and his penchant for 100 pages and really had little if anything to do with Arthur, IMHO.
