Chicago Boy Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Why hadn’t the census been updated to reflect this book yet ? Has it not been over a week ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm a bit confused, then. So when and where was this copy identified as the Windy City copy? Only in discussions on these Boards? From MasterChef's very helpful timeline, it doesn't appear that it was ever identified as the Windy City copy by CGC or by Heritage in any auction listing.

sfcityduck Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) One question/correction: Quote On or about April 11, 2014, the 9.0 copy was listed on Jay Parrino's website "The Mint" with a note to call for price. Sometime thereafter the price was changed to $350,000. I know Parrino PAID $350K for the Pay Copy of MC 1. Are you sure he listed this copy for $350K?

sfcityduck Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I just read Parrino bought the Denver MC 1 also. So he had the Pay Copy, Denver, and Windy City? He lost more money on MC 1s than anyone probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been identified by Moondog, who brought the pedigree to market, and by Matt Nelson's website. Edited September 24, 2019 by sfcityduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have lost more on Church/Mile High copies than anyone too - maybe more than Gary Keller. Another case of a newcomer with money getting raped and pillaged by the hobby's insiders. I remember his initial listings, and after getting over the awe of seeing so many Churches and ultra-HG slabbed GAs in one place, I realized that most were total 3rd- and 4th-tier titles. The greatest run of All Flash ever assembled! sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcityduck Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Keller's auction of the MH Flash runs was a bloodbath. Loss after loss. It's too bad that he didn't hold them until after the Flash t.v. show came out. I think the hobby would have a much different view of those comics today if he'd held on to them.
