Does it say where it was sold?

 

Nope.

 

if you're a subscriber, email them and they will tell you

Or PM George on the boards. I did that before and he even linked me to all the auctions.

 

Thanks (thumbs u

Congrats on your score! ---what's the PQ (white, off-white, cream)?

 

Check out GPA for the value. Or if you don't subscribe to them (yet), just do what they do; check out the main auction sites & big boy comic dealer websites for their asking prices/realized sales. I'd start with Heritage, Comiclink, Metropolis.

 

A book like that, you should want to get as much info as possible before moving it.

 

Happy fact finding, Rick

 

*now that I typed all that, someone's just gonna throw the $$ up there, huh?*

pq is off-white to white,i have gpa but a 8.5 hasn't sold since like 2002

 

Cappel,

There was a JLA #1 CGC 8.5 Bethlehem Pedigree that sold in a ComicLink auction a few months ago. I believe it sold for $6K+

P.S.---Comiclink does not send in their sales to GPA

I was watching that auction closely and would have bid more aggressively, but

I didn't like the date stamp on the cover...

That book has been put up on ebay and other various sites numerous times with no buyers. Personally I didnt want that copy because of the ugly distributors mark/stain on the top of the book.

 

It may sound counter intuitive but JLA #1 seems a lot hotter then BB 28 is and the prices are showing this. I guess what someone said in another thread is true, there are many JLA completionists, not as many BB guys and because of that JLA #1 is bringing in some great prices.

TeddieMercede is absolutely right...I went to e-bay to check it out and that is the same BB 28 that has been on e-bay and other sites multiple times...

I checked GPA and the last BB 28 in CGC 8.0 sold in 11/07 for just over $4200.

 

$5000 is probably a good price for BB 28 in 8.0 if it had at least off-white to white pages and no distributor mark (that is a big eye sore)...

 

I also agree that JLA #1 is hotter...

 

It seems BB #28 is hot if it is ultra-high grade (ie: CGC 9.0 or better) or if it is low-to-mid grade and affordable. There was a BB 28 CGC 7.0 that sat on Blazing Bob's site (highgradecomics.com) for a good price for much longer than I thought it would...

Spook,

 

I remember that particular copy being on Metro's site for something like 5650, odd a key book like that cant hold its value, stain or not, but 4200 for a 8.0 last year is pretty eye opening.

 

Im am curious what a 9.0 would sell for right now at auction, I was very surprised that 2 very nice 9.0s (different copies) sold for a little over 10,500 at 2 separate Heritage Sig auctions at the end of 06 and the beginning of 07. I fully expected both to hit the 15K range and neither came close.

Yep, I remember those. Wish I had had some freed up cash to win those back then. I think if they came up for sale now, it would hit 15K...the 9.2 (toth copy) just sold for almost $36K...

Also, I can't remember (for those 9.0 copies) what the next incremental bid would have been...

There are always books in auction that I wish I could buy at the final sale price, but was unwilling to go another increment...

If you can get Heritage to guarantee that they'll all be in a Signature auction, then Heritage would be the best way to go, in my opinion. If they could guarantee only some in Signature and the rest in the weekly auctions, I would consider CL. Actually, since Pedigree is going to be auctioning the JLA 1-3, you might want to consider going with Doug since there's bound to be a lot of attention for JLAs because of those 3 books.

 

Any of your issues in 9.4 or better? :popcorn:

This was a sale made to a good customer last month. Stunning 9.0.

Very appealing book, bondguy.

 

Looks like the grade was kept down due to the corners (esp LRC), spine tanning & the top staple.

 

Has good coloring & overall centering (and of course, great pq).

 

I don't pay much attention to <9.0 pricing (that's my cut-off), but if you ever find a way to get that bumped to 9.0>, lmk because I'm all about the label!

 

Best to you on the sale on this super-fine book, Rick
