Sqeggs Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Sooo with that paper loss on the spine, no way this is a CGC 8.0, right? Maybe a 6.0, assuming no hidden problems? https://www.ebay.com/itm/173123231453?ul_noapp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I will have any Baker books at the show so move by me fast if that is your quest. Rumor has it Harley might be the person to see...

I think that strategy would be called a "reverse-Harley." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I usually can’t afford his prices especially on those so I will leave them for the heavy hitters. I’m a poor , cheap, box cover. Besides, I have “other targets” first and already have a couple of deals already lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know I know Everybody should just set their bakers in a separate box under the table during the Dealer perusal period and then put them out at 9:30.

Hard one to call, the piece is big enough not to be an 8.0 or a 7.0. 6.0 sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s any consolation, I don’t open until the public gets in. I hate going to shows where the room is picked clean before I get there. Not that it matters because I’m a “small fish” in there anyway. The dealers find me anyway. Ricksneatstuff, Dr. Love and comicnoir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not - such an obviously over-graded book from those knuckleheads is usually not seen as an accurate indicator of market values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't know if people noticed that in its recent auction of a PGX FF 5 in (I think) 9.2, CLink felt obliged to add a disclaimer. I wish I had copied it exactly, but basically it said that if it turned out there was a problem with the book, the buyer's only recourse was to complain to PGX.

Maybe a 6.0, assuming no hidden problems? https://www.ebay.com/itm/173123231453?ul_noapp=true This is the exact same slab that sold on eBay in December 2015 by seller comicnut1969, who then failed to send TAR 9 and a host of other books that he had auctioned, including one that tallied to about $10,000, IIRC. The fool's PayPal email address linked to his Facebook party DJ account, totally giving him away, and I figure eBay busted him bad, since they had to refund all the sales he had made that month. Eugene, Oregon, was listed as comicnut1969's town; this new listing shows bargainhunterstore is in Springfield, Oregon. Oregon is where the slabbing company is located. Hmmmm.

Who would slab a high-grade SA semi-key with PGX at that late date, unless .... sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
