Nothing earth-shattering, just a little low grade goodness here.

If I can remember how to resize it I'll replace the raw with graded in my sig line.

Beautiful Leroy! Looks like a VG :cloud9:

This book does present VG. There must be dome hidden defects we are missing.

 

Oh...just caught spine split.

CGC ceiling grade is 1.8 for completely split spine.

 

I will take any spine split 1.8 that looks like that all day long.

it's a good defect to have when you can get an otherwise nicer book for a discount. And in the slab, it really doesn't make a difference

Thanks for all the kind words guys. My wife thinks it's just another comic and is not impressed at all. lol

 

Well if your wife ever decides for you to get rid of your comics, you can send them to me and I will kindly accept em :baiting:

My quest for a pre robin Tec is on permanent hold until I pay off my birthday gift and finish re-equiping my business.

Did any of of buy the 31 or 35 that sold on eBay tonight? Someone got a great deal

 

Honestly i think the seller did a very poor job. I would have gone after a few of those books but i am not willing to drop 10k+ on a book with those poor pictures. I suspect that impacted the prices. I also think there could be a lot more defects that were not visable which is common of low grade books like that.

That was definitely a "not how to" guide on selling big dollar books. Seller did not do himself any favors, to be sure.

10K was my top on the 29. The 31 i thought was to high for the grade. The 35 was the best. I really thought the 35 would sell with nothing left on the table. Was wrong. Think a swamp man bought that book?

But that book could have issues not seen. It just really worried me. I know some of the pre hero books popped back up rather quickly and I wonder if that is because people didn't like what they got.

 

I won the 37 with an angry bid, so we will see how it comes I guess.
