You mean the seller's 94.4% positive feedback doesn't set your mind at ease? (shrug)

Mind boggling to me for anyone to spend $30k on a raw book.

 

I do like how the seller got a neg for an auction of a box of Sneakers. It never ceased to amaze what people will buy on Ebay...a box of Sneakers?

:gossip: snicker candy bars, not sneakers :baiting:

I suspect there still might not be a sale...could be a "ploy" to get our interested poster here into committing to buy...maybe a "buyer bought it for 30k, as you saw on ebay, but now can't pay...so, I'll let you have it for 29k, or whatever"

 

or, could just be a stupid person (shrug)

thanks for the correction :grin: I do agree that this "sale" looks fishy but if it is indeed a legit sale for $30k then, oh my.

That had to be the LOOOOOONGEST click of any collectors life to look left, look right, and then slowly X a well-ridden rubber-stained state highway, not knowing if an 18 wheeler is driving 120mph around a mountainous 90 degree curve 10 yards away!!!. hm

Yeah...with that type of money, it could buy you a genuine 7.0. Quite a bit of wear to be a 7.0. I don't know if anyone saw that light one inch right corner crease. Looks like a 6.0 at best.
as previously mentioned, if I recall, it was a in a cgc 6.0 holder at one time ( the small piece out of the bottom back cover is the clincher for me)... I suspect that is why the seller is "guaranteeing" a 6 to 8 from cgc... hope he didn't cause it to drop to a 5.5 :o

Yes.

 

"If the buyer chooses to pay for grading expenses with CGC I will guarantee a grade range of 6 - 8 . If the book is returned with a lower grade then 6.0 I will allow the bidder to opt out of the purchase. If the grade is higher then a 6 and the buyer pays the full bid amount I will reinburse the cgc costs in full."

It is amazing to me the acumen of this Board. Gator says he thinks he already saw this book as a 6. When I spoke the the seller and said I would hate to have this book come back a 6 at that price, he said, "Well, if it does just take it out the holder". I suspect that is exactly what he did here. Why else would a comic store owner for 15 years be shoping a raw AF 15 and complaining about paying CGC fees. That never sat well with me: if it is a 45k or even 30k book, why is he worrying about paying a CGC grading price....

I wish I could find a scan of it... I am going strickly from memory, but I completely agree... there is a reason this seller doesn't have the book graded...whether it is a legit reason or not, ANYONE that would risk spending 30K on a raw book, when they can spend less on a "done deal" is just a little bit deserving of what they get, in my book

The problem is that some people are clueless. They don't know the ropes. They also think they can grade from a scan and an overstreet guide. My local comic book shop owner has been in the business since 1988 and has never bought a slab.
