Hey! Check this out!

Scroll down about half way and click the "Show New CGCs" link. Then scroll down that list.

Good for a chuckle! Bid away!

I think that comiclink works a little differently than other places though....you can buy the book right now for those prices or you can bid whatever you like for the book....the owner of the book then decides if he wants to sell it to you for that price...Also I am fairly sure that comiclink is a consignment kinda deal where you will pay comiclink and then the person with the book will mail the book to comiclink. they then mail payment to the owner and the book to the new owner...middle man /escrow kinda deal.....not really a true auction though so those books might go for a lot less....i think...I could be wrong....anyone know for sure?

Dawg is correct on the mechanics, except I'm pretty sure the books listed won't go for much less than their listing price.....hmmm....

yes the prices are a "little" high :wink: but I thought that people should be aware of the different style of comiclink...I gotta wonder why you would get these books cgc'd....I guess if you expected that you would get these type of prices I would get my copies graded and go ahead and cash out.... I think that comiclink is known for having some pretty high prices on average books....

Are you saying people will pay close to those prices, or are you saying they will go unsold? (or a mix of both?)

I'll guess that they go unsold at those prices...
(Even though a few are certainly nice to look at...)
but it's more important to know if "aug002" and "rotphungte"
have seen them... because who knows about those guys! :wink:

Why you would get them CGCd? Each one is a premium, not the regular edition. Comiclink doesn't have a way to designate a variant in the listing....

Conisder the recent 9.8's that have sold near $300 - like Solar 7. How crazy does a Unity Red 9.8 or Harbinger 0 Pink 9.8 sound at $750 considering?

I'm saying a little birdie landed on my shoulder and told me they won't be selling for much less than what is listed - with the obvious excecptions. I'm sure the seller would take $100+ for some of the 9.6s, like the Turok Gold that Boda passed on... :-)

Then the birdie took a big crap and flew away.... Bye birdie!

Pretty F'N NUTS!!! This is insane you could have a complete set of valiants for the cost of 1 of those books..inlcuding the harbinger pink and a Unity red for $750.....and there is no way that I would trade a full run of valiants for 1 book...it could be an 11.0 and it would not be worth 750...No way these books sell for anywhere near the prices listed. They are retarded....no way...no way...

Amen brother DawgPhan. At $750 I could buy 10 copies of Unity Red and surely one would come out with a 9.8

Two points:

1. Considering the 9.8 Solar 7 sale at $300, what is a Harb 0 pink CGC 9.8 worth then?? The sale is in the books, I'm sure Aug002 will pay up. What do you think if not 750? There are about 1/10th the number of H0 pinks versus the Solar 7...

2. Where are you going to get 10 copies of unity red at $75 each - not to mention ones that look like they might have a chance at a 9.8... A CEAR sold today for $125....

Aug002 might buy them. There was an auction I was watching and just removed from my list after it ended for a NM Unity 0 Red closing at 71 or 72 dollars. A CEAR would be a little more difficult to find. But would it be $750 difficult? Dunno. At prices that high your paying for the label and NOT the comic.

I've found unity reds to be particularly hard to find in high grade, probably because its so thin it damages easily. On the other hand all my copies of harbinger pink are easily 9.4+. I think those were just taken care of better even when valiant meant nothing. For 750 though Id rather have 10 copies in VF-NM then 1 CGC 9.8

Wheaton, here is the unity red auction that ended at $71. The seller states "Actually I have never seen this book in better condition. Send this off to be graded!":

and heres one that finished for only $30 just three days earilier. Here the seller says "This auction is for a VF/NM copy":
