If I do get to a point that I'd ever want to sell it do think having it "conserved" would be a smart thing to do just to bump up the grade up to a 3.0 or so? No resto, just conservation.

No resto, just conservation. and I would advise just the opposite...it is, what it is...you restrict potential buying pool if you have it conserved...let the potential buyer make that decision...better to have a larger buying pool than a smaller one (conserved accepted crowd) Tbone911t, Tsp99 and batman_fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Come next month I’ll be the proud owner of my second Superman 1. Photos of both my current raw copy and soon to be graded below. Both are coverless with the raw missing the 1st two wraps and centerfold and the graded fully complete minus 1/4 of page 16 missing.

He had it listed for $85K best offer so I imagine he sold it for less than $85K. It was sitting at that price with offer option for a while.

I just checked eBay and there is no sale of the book in the completed section. Most likely was either sold privately through his website (wondering if it will be on GPA) or if not his book the consignor asked to pull the listing down.

Dark Knight Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 A Supes 1 in CGC 1.0 with supple pages sold this year for $100k. The nice looking brittle copy if sold for $80k+ I think was a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book is marked as SOLD on HighGradeComics. Don't think consignor removed listing. Doubt sale gets reported to GPA.

Doubt sale gets reported to GPA. Interesting. Well I find it very hard to believe he sold it for $85K. He had best offer on EBay so it would be in someone’s benefit to get it for less. But regardless I would have paid $85K if I’m being honest lol. Brittle pages is tough, but having the entire cover and a 1.0 is awesome. And considering the other copy as mentioned sold for over $100K, this price for his copy seemed reasonable. Dark Knight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Not to mention Supes 1 is one of the tougher keys to find in unrestored condition. So any unrestored copy that is being offered up for sale usually gets scooped up pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I've purchased two, despite both being coverless and one missing several wraps lol. Edited December 27, 2017 by LDarkseid1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazingbob Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Book was not consignment, I owned it. Book has been paid for, it is sold. Just like my other sales it won't be reported to GPA. Edited December 27, 2017 by blazingbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
