I wish it had better page quality, but I think the positives outweigh that fact. This is not a book you see too often. Looking back on the past sales, it seems that this one was originally from the Prospect Mountain Collection. Anyway, I love it! Cool book. Prices were strong for the most part, even on the non-war books. One or two books (like the Wonder Comics 10 VGF @ $2880) went for way higher than anyone could've expected.

I paid more for this one than I thought I’d have to. C’est la vie. goldust40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what if they got it slabbed and put it up at one of the big auction houses…? Bart Allen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some stock settings pre-programmed in that we played with a bit. Still a little darker than the old scanner but much better than those from a couple of days ago. adamstrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Picked up" as in somebody walked into the shop with them? If so, great to think that this still happens. ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We report, you decide. Irrelevant to the scanner discussion but it's interesting that Church copies have been a bit up and down over the years--or, at any rate, that's my impression. I'd guess that if both these books were auctioned now, the Church copy would hammer for more despite being a significantly lower grade. I think 10 years ago, the reverse would have been true. Similarly, not too long ago Okajimas didn't get much of a premium. Now, probably because of discussion on the boards, they get what may be the largest premium of any ped. The Promise books also commanded a significant premium, even though it seemed to me that more than a few of them were overgraded. I thought that may have been a passing mania but they seem to be doing pretty well when flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
