rucnok Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I paid to have it put on. many years ago i bought it off ebay raw...bought it as unrestored (back when you had to send money orders through the mail)...sent it to cgc and they gave it a restored graded of 4.0...then i sent it for professional restoration...the restoration guy said he saw some color touch but wasnt able to remove it properly so we decided he would work the book to get as high a grade as possible. then i sent it to CGG (which was new at the time) and they gave it the current grade.

A 2.5 sold in auction on ebay for under $10K. But on the flipside, 2 different copies of Showcase 4 with the top 1/3rd of the front cover cut off and issues on the bottom sold for $3K and $4600 and those books are likely 0.5 copies. So the floor seems to be going up but the lower grade copies don't seem to appreciate that much per grade point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanCooper Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 9 hours ago, Iceman399 said: what did it sell for there? The Showcase 4 originally sold for $45K plus the commission at the Phil Weiss auction. The commission would have been 13% if the buyer had paid by check within 10 days (otherwise 15% commission) Under best case circumstances, at 13% commission, the Weiss sale total would come out to $50,850 ($45K + $5,850 commission) The final floor bid at Heritage was $36K ($43K includes buyer's fee) I think Heritage charges sellers a15% commission normally. So, total for the seller at Heritage would be $30,600 ($36K minus 15% ($5,400) That means the seller took a hit of over $20K from the February Weiss auction buy to the May Heritage sale. This assumes that the original Weiss buyer was a dealer or someone with a resale number (no tax involved) and not Heritage themselves or someone who negotiated a better seller's fee from Heritage.

If so why no purple label. Does the colour touch have to go through to the other side, or when it gets that low it does not matter. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a spot of color an attempt at cover up or an accidental drop of a pen ? In this case, I think I see what you are referring to. To me, it looks like some pencil marks.
