the blob Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 56 minutes ago, jsilverjanet said: look at 130, 133 I'm just talking about 132. 130 and 133 are not crazy like 129, but they're doing fine. I just got an offer at $27.50 (on a free shipping book) for my 9.4 132. It is a nice looking copy, i understand the buyer is probably factoring in a 9.0 or 9.2, that's fair. That is below the going rate, but not vastly. I don't see myself ever being able to replace it at $25-30 cost. Perhaps it is the current market messing with my head, but I am going to hold out. A lot of stuff I say "what the heck" when I get an offer, but I don't see a crash making that a $22.50 (after I eat the shipping) book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickycollector Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I had an eye on some of those books but now looking at the thread in the Comics General, not too sure... Are you saying that all of those books are not a old gentleman collection but rather books that were once graded lower by CGC, cracked and then re-offered for sale as raw in much higher grade?

I have one from an OO collection that is in that similar condition. I think that same seller sold an ASM 194 for $2,000+ WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps one or two are returns and relists, but these are all different books -- across many different titles and issues. Try searching the page for X-Men #101 sold for that seller. For instance, the top left back corner of this one versus this one. Alleged itinerary is: Buy graded comic -> Crack graded comic -> Press and/or Photoshop comic -> List comic at higher grade than original 3rd party grade. ygogolak and ThothAmon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully I didn’t take the time to look at them all. Experience tells me that if many of the completed sales are in fact the same book buyers are returning the book after examining. Ive looked at all his x-men 94 sales and everyone of them was sold more than once? Think I might message him on eBay and find out why.
