acesilver Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 What are your minimum grade requirements for your JLA collection? For me, #1-50 in at least CGC 9.0 or better #51-100 in at least CGC 9.4 or better #101-200 (if I decide to collect them) in at least CGC 9.6 or better 1-29 9.2 or better 30-99 9.4 or better I started at VF or better. Then got tired of paying to upgrade. So I finally settled on 9.4 or better for 1-50. And stopped collecting books outside of those. Even though I had 9.4 and 9.6 books scattered up through 120 or so.

acesilver Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Thanks Cap & Shadow, that 9.2 is the highest graded copy that I've been able to find in over a year. I don't believe there are any 9.4 or 9.6 copies and I think I saw the highest graded copy posted on this thread by our very own tth2 Yep, and Tim & I couldn't agree on a sale price at the time.

acesilver Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Depends on the grade range you're shootin' for. 9.0 or higher, a decade seems overly optimistic...even in these "internet-available" times. Unless your Uncle's last name is Gates or Buffet. But anyways. Rick What are the 10 hardest JLA issues to find in high-grade? (I'll define high-grade as CGC 9.0 or better for issues #1-26 and CGC 9.4 or better for issues #27-100) For 1-26, I think there are only four issues that are really hard to find in 9.0 or better: 3, 4, 24 and 26 I would agree with 3 and 4. The best copy I could ever come across between the two was the #4 at 9.2 that I passed on and I believe Rick now owns. At the time, the other issues I couldn't locate in 9.4 range were #6, 10-12, 22-25? Although I did find most of them in 9.0 range. It seemed like after the mid to late 20 issues you could find 9.4 with much greater frequency than anything in the first 20 or so imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acesilver Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Acesilver, Good to have you on the boards. (thumbs u I saw on your registry that you stopped collecting HG JLA. Are you actively collecting something else now? If you mean am I collecting any other HG titles or Silver Age, then no. I'm no longer in the hunt (which helps Tim out on carrying on the HG JLA legacy along with Rick ). I have gotten hooked on a number of current DC storylines, GL, GL Corps (love the Sinestro Wars story arc), JLA, JSA, Checkmate, etc. But unless today's age becomes tomorrow's Silver Age I wouldn't call it a Pacific Coast collection of stuff.

acesilver Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Welcome back to the boards, Scott! I figured I'd give you a head start on post count so now I have a moving target to shoot for. Edited November 5, 2007 by acesilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acesilver Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I see that the CGC Book of the day is a JLA #20 in 9.4. If I was still in the hunt I'd have wanted that one. It was one of the few I never could find in 9.4 within the first 20-30 that I needed for my run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good thing you were out of the market by the time one came up on eBay, so I was able to pick it up for some ridiculous price like 2X Guide without you driving me up. There's another copy on Heritage right now to tempt you. Prices are on the move in HG JLA-land, though, so I'm guessing this copy will go for more than the last.

Would love to have that JLA #20 in 9.4, but it's already bid up to $1000 for the next bid Acesilver, How come you stopped collecting HG JLA?
