We should all keep an eye on eBay to see if he tries to sell it there. How long til we see polished_gem_comics selling it as a straight off the rack unrestored 7.0?

We should all keep an eye on eBay to see if he tries to sell it there. I would be happy to own that book even with it's restoration/trimming etc. I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for it though -- maybe $50 (way less than it has to be worth-- worts and all). What is it realistically worth or is it basically worthless (short of my $50). I'd have to assume it is still somewhere around $1500 in realistic value. No idea-- is there GPA analysis for PLOD 3.0 books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea-- is there GPA analysis for PLOD 3.0 books? It appears this seller bought it off of eBay and it's showing on GPA as a CGC 3.0 (A) restored/trimmed copy that sold for $3,650 on May 5th, 2020. If we ignore the CGC 3.0 (cover trimmed) listing on GPA.....and focus on only the similar CGC 3.0 (trimmed) GPA listings......this is what I found: Note: (SA) would be slight amateur restoration (C1) indicates on the Quality/Aesthetic scale it's rated as "C" or "Poor" and on the Quantity scale it's rated as "1" or "Slight" (A) would be amateur restoration CGC 3.0 (SA) trimmed sold for $645 in 2011 CGC 3.0 (SA) trimmed sold for $999 in 2012 CGC 3.0 (C1) trimmed sold for $1,200 in 2015 CGC 3.0 (C1) trimmed sold for $1,175 in 2015 CGC 3.0 (A) trimmed sold for $2,229 in 2018 CGC 3.0 (A) trimmed sold for $3,650 in 2020 (this is the book in the first post in this thread) Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TOS 39 unfortunately has the bottom edge slightly, and poorly trimmed. In all honesty it looks like some kid just cut a small sliver of it off for no good reason, it wasn’t Dupcak’d or anything. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryw7 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 An update: the seller has changed his eBay ID. bballard3340502 is now doctorsofdunk13. Just a heads up. 01TheDude, kav and theCapraAegagrus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
