scooter99 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 If he's not selling them he wouldn't care. Bingo. I also think that as time has gone by he realizes that those two particular books will have much more of an aura surrounding them as long as they remain unslabbed. The speculation about grade and value will continue to be fodder for new chat-board threads, convention discussions, and collector's fantasies until the moment the books are graded and/or sold. All of the talk adds to the perceived value in the long run. I would bet that the three million dollar books all hit those prices exactly because Dave's books have not been graded. I couldn't agree more. The mystique of the books unslabbed is fascinating . It would be cool to see a 9.4 or 9.6 on them someday. When I look at Eric Roberts AF15 in that grade, I get woozy!

By the way, I met the dentist in Baltimore and he was carrying a box of GA with him. I asked him if I could look at them and were they for sale but he refered me to his ad in Overstreet and walked away. Strange and unfriendly but conventions are a busy place with lots of people to see when you have a box of top of the line comics. bb Edited June 11, 2010 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I once bought a $180 Fawcett from him. I wasn't happy with the book, and asked him if I could exchange it for a $180 DC he had for sale. He replied that a $180 Fawcett isn't worth as much as a $180 DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo_Hogg Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I dont have any problems from Dave the Dentist. I have bought many things from him but I always keep it about business. I dont ever try to be friends with him. He sells a lot of top quality stuff, stuff that you cant find anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
