I figure that many (most?) of you have seen this, but for those who haven't...

 

Marvel Comics #1 Pay Copy

[Paratrooper]

Ouch $20k BP sucks

Ouch! All that writing all over the cover sucks.

It's the first 110k that hurts more...

Apparently it has its appeal. (thumbs u

 

I think I might be able to dig out an old copy of Micronauts that my nephew once used as a scratch pad while doing his math homework...

I know all the Pay Copy arguements. It is a great historical book. I just have always had a problem with the CGC grade based on the writing on the cover. Grade it along the same standards as every other book. If they want to grade it that high, put it in a Green Label.

 

I don't think the final hammer price would be drastically different given the historical nature of this copy.

I agree. Guess my attempt at dry humour was so dry it evaporated.

 

I added a "wink" for clarity... (thumbs u (but now with the wink and the thumbs up next to each other, I can't get the image out of my head of the opening scene of Episode 1, Season 2 of Twin Peaks -- with the old room service guy standing over Dale Cooper.... sorry... just ignore me).

Looks like a good solid 10 footer to me.

It was just bumped up another $10K

[Mr. Spider-Woman]

Is a 19.5% buyer's premium high or low or what? Do other auctioneers have a buyer's premium that high?

[drewincanada]

Comiclink is 3%.

 

Yes, 19.5% is high. I factor it into any bids I make on Heritage. Take the final amount you want to pay (including BP) and divide it by 1.195. That's the max you should bid.
