As far as 6th Street - I thought this info was lost, but now it's found. Ebay romance from 6 years ago. There are more; books that were graded and listed but pulled (PR 19 as mentioned), books that were graded but never listed, books that were never graded. Maybe 100 or so in all. It's been a long time and you'd think the warring parties would have resolved their legal issues and the books would surface but they haven't. Some of these books went to at least six astute boardies. The TR 33 is one of those, but it will never leave his graspy hands, and believe me I've tried! Total sales $15,839 Average grade 6.8 Average price $546 I bought several of those. Like the rest of us, I wish now I'd bought more. Here's the PR 24. Note that it actually has some NRs (next to the guy in the tie). Even back then, they were a problem! comicnoir, Point Five and pmpknface 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one of our crowd ever claimed ownership...yet. And speaking of which - where to set the under/over for the upcoming 8.0? 25K? I could see it doing $25K. Really depends on whether the pq is a problem for some bidders. It is for me at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circle 8 is fine as well. I am more concerned with the quality of the books than the original owner aspect. I do realize that some pedigrees may be in higher demand because of the OO story (e.g. Okajima) but I don't think that should be a factor in deciding whether to include/exclude them from the list. I don't think they count these two as peds, do they? They do have label notations but they aren't on the CGC list. The criteria do mention that the collection should be an OO: "The collection must be original owner. This means that the books must have been bought off the newsstand as they came out. For example, a collector cannot buy a high-grade run of 1940s comics from various sources and expect it to be considered a pedigree. The original owner need not currently own the comics for the collection to be considered for pedigree status." Obviously, if they strictly applied the "bought off the newsstand" criterion, it would rule out the GFCs and, I presume, the new Murphy Anderson ped.

The highest graded copy, a mere 4.5, just sold on CLinl for over $900.00. Most of us would love to get our hands on that copy, and just about all the others. At the time I thought the 6th Street prices were ridiculous. Now they're a joke. I was actually surprised at how low that one went. Given it's the highest graded copy of a very tough issue, I thought it would easily do $1,500. I dropped out a few days ago and didn't check on it last night. I think the winner got a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sqeggs Posted July 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2019 Another of the Sixth Street books. This discussion led me to reach out to the dealer who first brought the books to market. He said he hasn't heard anything about the books in a couple of years. He had some news about the original seller that, uh, was not along the lines of increasing the probability that the books would resurface any time soon. The collection was larger than I had thought. He said he had sent to CGC more than a hundred books that hadn't been sold before he had to stop and had bagged and boarded about a thousand more. Several thousand magazines in the collection as well. A real case of what might have been!

Those older style slabs have open sides whereby you can slip a semi-hard cardstock inside and remove the rings. Very simple. I really like that style. Takes up much less space in a box than the new ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very simple. I really like that style. Takes up much less space in a box than the new ones too. Less susceptible to NRs, too, I think. Although lately, they seem to be doing better with the NRs. Not sure whether they changed the slabbing process or materials or whether QC is kicking the bad ones back for another go round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and all of his auctions are private bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
