tth2 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks Tim (thumbs u Hopefully this one will like comics...his 2 older brothers are not interested at all...I took them to a comic convention last year and we came out with a box full of star wars figures and legos and no comics... Sounds like a case of bad parenting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The 9.8 JLA #101 just went for 12X Guide. It was one of the better centered copies that I've seen, but still... My elitism may be showing, but no way I'm shelling out over 5 Bills for a post-1970 post-#100 book with a cut off DC logo & right edge thumb mark. Congrats to the winner; I'll use my $500 elsewhere. Rick There is yet another 9.8 JLA 101 in the Heritage weekly auction, and the Census now shows 6 9.8 copies (with undoubtedly more to come). I feel sorry for the bidders who paid $507.88 for the copies that sold in Jan and Feb of this year. Well, actually, I don't, because that was a really dumb price to pay.

Aman619 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I hope its getting cristal clear that buying ANY 9.8s is dumb.. if the reason is the desire for a scarce desirable collectible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookley Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yep, as more of these 9.8's get graded by CGC...the price just keeps dropping... at least for bronze/copper/modern... I can't help it, but I'm a completionist...and would like to get all the JLA issues from 101 to 261 in CGC 9.8...I will wait it out until the prices come down to what I think they're worth...with this economy...that time may be soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookley Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Anyone here submit a JLA #19...I see there is now a 9.4 on the census Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I hope its getting cristal clear that buying ANY 9.8s is dumb.. if the reason is the desire for a scarce desirable collectible! No, there's nothing wrong with buying 9.8s per se. What's dumb is overpaying for a 9.8, particularly a BA, CA or modern 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Anyone here submit a JLA #19...I see there is now a 9.4 on the census Man, I hope it's not the 9.2 PC copy pressed up or something. Wow, I think this means every JLA issue now exists in 9.4 or higher. This and #3 were the last to fall, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's nothing wrong with buying 9.8s per se. What's dumb is overpaying for a 9.8, particularly a BA, CA or modern 9.8. that was clearly implied in my post. I dont like writing more than I feel is necessary, even tho it opens me up to misinterpretations like this. Because today buying 9.8s = overpaying. got it? I believe in collect what you like, so sure 9.8s are cool to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 As am I. But let's be clear- that 9.8 #101 was overpriced because of the flaws I mentioned, not "just because it's a CA book. $500+ is still a lot of money for that issue, but would be far more justified if it were a true/solid/strong 9.8 book. And had White pages. And was the sole 9.8 specimen. And was signed by the writer/artist/inker/editor. And... 'Course, if/when a JLA movie is ever made(?), all bets will be off for the foreseeable future! Till then I'm perfectly content with my White page perfectly registered 9.6er. Hey Sal, let's start a club (there are currently 21 9.6s). Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 OK, I can't sleep so I'm surfing comic websites -via GPA- that I don't normally view on a regular basis. And lo & behold I come across this... A $10,000 JLA book (guess which one) Anyone have any idea how long ago this purchase went down? Or how blind the buyer was? I normally don't criticize purchases, buuut dang!! Talk about buying the label!! Just sayin' And yes, I'm aware of CGC's lax attitude towards mis-wraps, but c'mon? For $10K, how bout #9 (origin ish) in 9.6...or #4 (GA) in 9.6...or #1 in a soft 9.0... Then again, #38 in 9.8 sold for $2600 back in Aug, so what the do I know???

Rick how about $10k for a book that hadn't been pressed up from a 9.4 like this one has been. that's right, same book they had on the site a while back that was a 9.4.
