my 3.0 w/color touch 0

[BIZZARRO]

Well, I pulled the trigger and consigned my 3.5 (all 3 sides trimmed) With HA for the upcoming auction.

It was a 3.0 with some color touch..... sent it back it to remove the color touch and behold, Now they pick up trimming?

The guys at HA said I should still do well. I just want closure and move the money into a blue label in the near future.

Any idea how much % difference from a blue label I might see?

What is the book in question?  All sides trimmed is really the death knell for a comic book and depending on the book you should expect to get 10%-25% of blue label price.

Yeah, I've got an Avengers #1 CGC 8.5 with all 3 sides trimmed. I'm figuring it'll wind up at well under $5000. Maybe under $3000. Eh... I paid under $1000 for it...

...such is life.

I'm confused and not sure if you are talking to yourself or have multiple personalities or something.

No, I am in all of my senses, I was responding to guardian comics question....."What is the book in question?"

I was using the boards knowledge and experience to draw information on and determine what my outcome may look like.

Thanks for pointing out that I looked like I was talking to myself.

Maybe if they missed the trimming the first time you could send it in and they'll miss it on the third time

Write “Steve Ditko” on it purple marker, sign Spider-Man’s face “Stan lee” and scribble the whole with great power thing across the rest to hide the resto and creases. Then send it to pgx and it will come back a 9.2 unrestored signature series and you can sell it to we love comics.

You should see a nice return from your investment...

12 month average for a Universal in 3.5 is just over $20,000. Most recent sale for $23,000.

A trimmed 3.5 sold in 2015 for $5736. But that's 4 years ago.

I think you'll see close to $10,000. JMHO; YMMV.

A trimmed 3.0 with CT sold twice in 2018, once for $9300 and again for $9050.
