So this guy has one feedback and drops a Marvel Comics 1 out! Does anyone know this guy, or is it a scam?

I could see having a question if he had no feedback. However, with a solid 1, I think we are all safe to bid.

You first..

hello all...

I sent the seller an email this morning, asking if I could inspect the book in person, before I bid on it...waiting on response

Looks like the same copy I saw at Wondercon a few weeks ago...

Yes, that is John Dolmayan's book. This ebay seller is not John Dolmayan.

 

Yah, that's his name...forgot it...the drummer...so this must be a different copy...

 

Nope, this is the one and only CGC 9.0 Moderate (P) in the census.

That's my old copy.

 

West

Do you know who did the restoration on that book, West?

[FFB]

Yeah with that kind of coin you could get the Cage copy, unrestored.

 

For that kind of money, you could almost get an unrestored 8.0.

 

Might need another $20,000-$30,000 at a minimum.

 

 

The CGC 8.0 Larson copy just sold for $101,575 four months ago. That's only $11.5K more. If an 8.0 non-pedigree copy came up for sale, it might sell for less than $100K.

True but that was a good price and didn't that copy has slight glue on it? Personally I wouldn't care if it did but for some high grade GA collectors that is like skull and crossbones. This issue came up when the Marvel Mystery #2 CGC 9.0 was being discussed. There sure is a huge leap in price from a 8.0 to a 9.0, almost double.

Yes, you're right about the "very minor" glue. I had forgotten about that and it probably did affect the price somewhat.

 

Let me revise my statement:

 

$90K -- you could probably get an unrestored 7.0 for that.

Do you know who did the restoration on that book, West?

 

No, but it was slightly restored and sold in a Sotheby's or perhaps Christies auction long ago and then was re-restored, leaving it with moderate work between the 2 times it was repaired.

the larson copy was held down due to the furor surrounding it, going from purple to blue, AND being very faded. a pretty non-stigmatized 8.0 is going to go for more inho.

OK, OK, for that money, you could get a nice, unrestored 2.0!!!!

auction gone

It would have been funny to bid it up to a Million, that is if we were sure it would get pulled. I would have taken pics of the page when it hit a million.
