It’s a solid grade number but I have to admit I’m used to seeing copies from other collectors with cleaner whites and brighter colours than this copy. I can’t tell if that’s foxing or some general browning at the very top either. It looks to have some tanning on the cover edges inward too. Guesses in today’s market??? Actually it's brighter than the picture suggests ?? it's a bad picture for sure... Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szav Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) So....I guess CGC can't make up their mind about defects that warrant listing on the label, or it depends on who's working that day or something....Got this back about a month ago but didn't post it because I didn't want my copy to feel bad about itself being too close to the two 7.5's that were being discussed. The centerfold on my copy is fully detached, it's in the graders notes, and you can ask the boardie who sold it to me too! Still love it!

I was at a small local convention this afternoon and a dealer had a cgc 2.0 Canadian edition he wanted $500.00 (Can). I turned down 2 Canadian editions years ago, both vf, for peanuts.

They noted the centerfold was detached on my TAR43, but not the cover detached on my PR12. AND they were in the same submission bunch. I don't have many APCs, but that's an issue I'd like to own. 3.5 is GREAT!!! szav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 As many of you probably saw (and won) there were a lot of Bakers ending on eBay from Leroy. I bid on several but was in 3rd-5th on most. Only won a low grade Pictorial Romances 21. I am sure you will see it here on the forum soon enough for $20 more than I paid for it but maybe not. I’ve been keeping the ones I love but I date around a lot. It seemed that the prices, though definitely higher than a year ago, were at least within some level of reason. It also appeared there was a wider variety of bidders than usual and the one book that went higher (TAR 32, as One would expect) had 4 bidders bunches up near the top, as opposed to the common two nuclear bidders outdistancing everyone.

comicnoir Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hey Rick, what did the TaR 32 go for. As a Canadian I was not allowed to bid, so you have to think of that with the realised prices since my and others would have made an impact on the final price, if we were allowed to bid. Which we weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
