Kevin just posted his first print (8.0 - signed) on the Bay with a starting price of $100. He must be eager to offload it.

Will be interesting to see where this goes.

there is a reserve, can't be that eager

Agreed. Hate reserves.

Help -- I've never been in the market, but the LCS got a 3rd print with 3 good creases or spine dings, so I guess 6.5? Is it worth the $50 price tag?

Not a horrible price.

I'm not ready to hang with the big boys yet, but wanted to share my latest pick up!

Sweet book welcome to the club. Looks like a big boy toy to me !

Really? You think "OW/W" is a "PQ" some people will frown upon?

Possibly. Seems people want WP on this book.

Given how random and arbitrary CGC is with their "PQ", I have always found that to be an odd consideration in a buying decision.

Well, given a choice between two books, same grade, one with WP, one with OW/W, which do you choose?

Price being the same I take the "WP". Would I pay more just for "WP"? Nope. Would I pass on a book that's fairly priced just because it is "OW/W"? Nope. Can the human eye actually discern the difference? Nope. Would the same "OW/W" book likely come back "WP" on a re-sub? Yup.

Book is sealed up. The only difference the human eye has to discern is what is on the label. It may not matter to you, but it does to others. You are aware there are PQ groupies, correct?

"Buy the book not the label". Structural grade is easier to discern through a slab, "PQ" is not. Yes there are PQ groupies as u say, but their numbers are not great enough to move the price of a book either way, and the rarer, more key, etc the book is, the less it matters even to the groupies . It only takes one sale of a "CR/OW" book at a comparable or higher price to debunk the whole myth that it matters. That's why it's never wise to pay a premium "just because" it says "WP" on the label IMO. That, and because CGC is notoriously bad at grading "PQ" with any kind of consistency anyway. Not really their fault since it would be virtually impossible to do so anyway. My understanding they originally did not even want to have a "PQ" notation on labels.

"Buy the book not the label." Some do, majority don't, IMO. Otherwise, CGC would be irrelevant. I have a 9.6 NM98, and a 9.8 NM98. The 9.6 is a better book. Not one person that has seen them disagrees. Which book will sell for more, however?

"It only takes one sale of a "CR/OW" book at a comparable or higher price to debunk the whole myth that it matters." Does this mean that one sale at a lower price proves ii does matter? I don't think either is true.

As I said, I just think it MAY be hurt by PQ. Might be offset by sigs inside. Guess we'll see in 24 hours. What do you think it will end at?

BTW, do you think PQ had any impact on the Action #1 that sold for $1M more in the same grade?

Unfortunately whether or not "PQ" matters can only be addressed anecdotally. But I can pretty much assure you that any mainstream book with a high slab rate u name I can produce in grade sales results where there is no or very small difference in price based solely on "PQ". Why? Because it is just plain impossible to quantify or prove whether or not the "PQ" was the sole deciding factor as to why a book went for more or less. I don't think that the "PQ" affected the price on that action 1 in the least. And I certainly don't think it made a one million dollar difference. It's an action 1, the book would have likely sold for the same if it had "cream pages". But we can never actually know either way.

As far as you 9.6 NM is concerned, sounds like it's worth a press re-sub.

As for the turtles book, I'm thinking it will go for $8500ish. (thumbs u
