Default Blast it I keep getting distracted! Ok! Last one until I post BA12!

I came across this for the awesome price of $70. I just couldn't pass it up, plus I love the signature placement again! But no more!

Have to focus! LOL

Dear me,

No responses. I hope I didn't overpay! :-(

I'm not too good about pricing signed comics.

Dear you ... save up those $70s here and there .... and then jump in at $1800 for a 9.8 BA #12.


I might join you at that rate .. but then again, I might just save up those $1800s until I get to a "JSC $10k original cover".

It is hard saving up for what you want -- it is so much easier when you know how to generate "Recycle's fund" - let fund generates more funds and so forth.

Yeah, I'm slowly getting the hang of it. This buying and flipping and then using the money to get what you want. Takes patience to learn how to do it and to wait for the profits.... At least for me.

Hey Marino. You think this was a good buy? By the way I am looking into a BA #12 CGC 9.4 from a local dealer. Pretty good deal as well. 9.8 is too rich for my blood with a baby on the way.

For $70 ... that is one hell of a deal since the cost of CGC alone is around $35 or so.

And for two signatures that related with the book, that is even better.

If you got an offer for $100 or more --- sell it!

I agree. If you like the book, then $70 is fine in my mind.

Midtown price for VF raw is $28. Then you have the cost for grading, shipping both ways, and the legwork of getting the signatures. If you like it, be happy.

Congrats on the "baby on the way" -- everything you picked from now on, it belongs to the baby!

There are plenty of 9.4s and 9.6s out there with reasonable price, if I was you, hold out for a 9.8 and you are done with it. If you pick up either 9.4 or 9.6, and then later on you save some, you will regret picking up the 9.4 or 9.6.

Stick it out and pick up a 9.8 and no regret or looking back on "should of" or "could of".


PS. Oh, make sure you have extra side-fund ready --- cuz diapers fund will run you dry!
