What are the odds that the person who told him to list it for $1100 knows the buyer?
I was the one who sent the story to Sticky, and I explained the situation to my wife first, who came to the same conclusion immediately. No way that book should have sold like every other green label. The back story should have been disclosed.
I was thinking the same thing. The. Same. Thing. This is what stinks about the hobby.
I went back to the start of this year to see who claimed the book on elite and I don’t see that book listed on their page. Did they delete the evidence. I wish the seller would share the name of the buyer. Doesn’t have to be shared to everyone but maybe just to SG
@@comicsandculture I've noticed they delete/archive posts once they have been claimed. I don't suspect it's done for any wrong reason other than to stop people from contacting interested users trying to sell similar books. If you have ever participated or asked a question in one of those posts, you will always get messages from people wanting to sell you a similar book.
Wait a minute........he didn't know it was an MJ until he cracked it? Why would someone marry the MJ insert and then sell it as a normal ASM 129? Also why did he crack it instead of CGC? Fishy.
The bigger scam is that people have been convinced that having additional ads in comics somehow makes them worth more.
Maybe you're new to this
People like the scarcity. I like looking for star stamps because that means they were sold on a military base. Whichever version it's a piece of history
How bout crack it out remove the insert and resubmit for a blue 8.5?
My first thought too.
Because hes never gonna get the highest value off it anymore. Remember he spent $4k on it bumped two grades down its 2k. Honestly his mistake was grading it in the first place.
No one made anyone sell anything. We all sell and take hits. We buy PGX with extreme worry as they miss everything and CGC is not obligated to call because for all they knew, the guy who sent it in could have married the insert. That's why you have a screen option before it is slabbed and graded. Elite makes a recommendation on recent sales and you can choose to sell or not. But under money duress you sell. He realizes all of this. He maintains a positive attitude because you don't have a better option. And it is a lesson learned.
Look
Don’t invest in comic books. Buy them to collect; sure sell extra stuff to fund your collection
It's a hobby for a reason. Hobbies cost money. Love finding deals to trade and maybe get some credit at a store to buy the comics I like! No one is making a good living flipping a few comics.
Correct me if I’m wrong here but if you crack a CGC slab and resubmit then the pop count is ruined. Since we know this is not uncommon then wouldn’t it be safe to assume most CGC pop counts are incorrect?
You are supposed to send back CGC the labels but I have never done it
I'm thinking the same thing that no way are the population counts correct anymore
There was a time when collecting comics was all about collecting comics…
The time is now, and its right or me. 🤘🖖
@@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq and the word is love
Ikr...all this speculation and every time someone's name is speculated to be in a movie the related or even unrelated comics surge...I'm like come on people point in case SHE HULK...lol and people was buying that comic at high prices.
im here for the sticky drama and the goose drama
Feel bad for the guy, just goes to show, don't buy PGX
The guy who bought it for 1200 will pop the staples replace them with correct staples from say a 190 ASM book and pull out the mark jewelers and bam it’s back to a 9.2-9.4 occhhh
Buying PGX with the intent to regrade and/or flip is an obvious risk that speculators take. Play stupid games...
You buy a pgx, expect a 2 grade drop switching to cgc minimum. Thats actually pretty good.
Yeah because CGC did an excellent job 😂🤣😅
I’m guessing this man is single, no way you would admit that loss to your gf or wife.
Most definitely these things fly way way underthe radar 😂
This guy brought on a lot of these headaches to himself. Not feeling bad for making such amateur mistakes
THANK you. Finally a voice of sensibility and reason in this joke of a commentary video. The guys a troll and an Absolute clown
This one doesn’t make much sense either. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to marry the MJ insert himself. Also, calling out a consignment seller for not liking their suggested price when he could have simple said “no” and tried selling it somewhere else.
This whole story feels like a bit of a reach
I feel sorry for the guy. $2800 bucks is a lot to lose. He got destroyed on every level.
Fuck me, thats terrible. Poor fella.😢
You will hear from the pumpers this is a time to buy. Be careful moving forward as the economy continues to struggle. Scammers in the comic industry will get more desperate as easy money has dried up.
You have to do opposite of the herd. Right now everyone is ultra bearish.
Be greedy when others are fearful. Be fearful when others are greedy.
Next few months or year could be great buying opportunities. Everyone’s pessimistic-be greedy yourself.
Now is not bad time to buy either.
Great insight!
I'm waiting until after November 5th to see how I feel about buying anything!
Great recap, good lesson to share. Thanks!
Of course they told him to sell it low, because they or a friend bought it, cracked it, fixed it, pressed it and got back a 9.0 or 9.2 blue label. A JOKE!
I can tell you for fact you're wrong. It's yet to be cracked, but rest assured it will be
One man's trash is another man's treasure...
Dan, I pay $4000 for my haircuts, so $2800 is nothing! 😜
How do we know this guy didn't try to get over by actually marrying a Mark Jewelers in there or bought a fraudulent one an didn't detect it? PGX is notorious for grading Frankensteined books. It's green because the mark Jewelers might have never belonged in the book in the first place
What's a Married insert??
I’m confused. The guy first said that it was a PGX 9.2 and later said it was a PGX 9.4. Regardless, was the book labeled as a Mark Jewelers variant by PGX or did the seller inform him that it was a MJV? Either way, isn’t $4000 an absolutely ridiculous high price to pay for it?
Yeah something doesn't add up. Guessing this guy married the insert himself. $4000 was actually a good price during the comic boom. Especially if he could resubmit it and get a bump.
I would never buy a PGX book at full market value. A person I pick randomly from my local comic book store can grade better than PGX. I have seen PGX books given a normal grade, and the book is obviously restored or qualified.
If you buy a PGX book expect it to be approximately 2 grades higher than CGC would have graded it.
This is a lesson in compounding damage started by purchasing a PGX slab.
Hey whats up? l dont trust the " experts". l have a large collection of Marvel and DC grails. If and when l sell them, l will grade them myself , maybe get some advice from the "experts " and ask what l think is fair. lf the buyer has a problem with it, they dont have to buy it. Only dude l took advice from was John Dolmayan, that was 16yrs ago, he had a comic booth at Frank & Sons collectibles before he formed Torpedo Comics in Vegas. He told me back then, buy all the Gold and Silver Age grail you can because in a few years, the're going to explode in price. He wasnt lying.
Good video!
If PGX is involved it going to be a big loss. Yes this is very sad indeed.
Keep it up 👍
I really feel for this guy but I don't understand how you think that it was CGC's job to contact him regarding the insert. They are grading the book that he sent them. If he had any doubts about it up front he should have contacted them to see if he could have the book returned as is if there was any indication that it would receive either a qualified or restoration label. Who he needs to be contacting though is PGX to get his money back as they are the ones that originally graded the book and either did not pick up on the married insert or they willfully did it. Then again is PGX even still around
CGC offers restoration removal. Why wouldn't they offer the service if they already have the book? They shouldn't have graded the book at all. From their perspective, they are receiving a book that someone is trying to scam them with to get the Blue Label. They should have given the customer the benefit of the doubt and offered to remove it for a price or not grade it at all. Elite undersold this, but this could have also been used to scam another less knowledgeable collector into believing it was a Mark Jeweler.
Also anything PGX I drop 3 grades
3 grades? Relax.
Lesson here is be careful when you buy and NEVER BUY PGX
Ive bought 2 pgx before and cracked em and sent to cgc and they both got the exact same grade from cgc. I have heard lots of horror stories though, so i would never buy an expensive pgx slab. Mycomicshop wont even accept pgx slabs on consignment.
Keep a watch on elite comics.....bet one comes up for sale with some of the same defects but without the insert.
if i understand correctly, someone put in a doctored ad of the jewellery shop that was in the original issue?
What I think happened is that someone took a jewellery shop ad from another lower value book and inserted it into this Book to bump the price up.
Sooooo, did Elite take down the sale post of the 129? I went to find it, and it's nowhere on their wall. I scrolled down at least a years worth of their post and didn't see it at all.
It’s been removed…
Yes, it’s been removed.
He took a bath....... but if he brought it before Mark jewelers started to become a thing why was it married to the book also why would PGX acknowledge the Mark Jewelers.
and next... EliteScum11 will be selling a blue label ASM129 8.5 which has identical flaws on the cover. 😂
No. You're wrong and very easily influenced by goons with a camera and an Internet connection. 🤡🤡🤡
Buyer Beware. I mean, do your homework. This guy got owned.
Watched this video. Was painful to watch.
s-dubya-p, not dubya-s-p but we all a lil dyslexic sometimes 🙌
There are several, but the #1 moral of the story is you buy PGX you're probably gonna get hosed!
Rolled the dice and lost.
He could get it to conserved if he took it to someone who knows what they are doing.
Here's my take. I think this guy did the right thing at the end, after making several bad decisions. He cut his losses and got out of there. He shouldn't have bought the PGX book to begin with, and before you submit books you had better know how to grade yourself. Know the signs of restoration and tampering. Know who to contact for questions.
ouch!
Take out the Mark Jewlers insert and while the slightly rusty staples are open, replace them with nice staples from a doner Marvel comic from the same time period. I think it will come back a Universal in the low 9's.
You have so much beef with elite that you had your wife make an account so you can still buy from them?
You lost $2400 on Hulk 181 😅😅
You are a rookie. Why do ppl even watch you?
And you never miss a video 😅😅
@@Stickygoose not for advice or good info though. I just like to see how you’re gonna contradict yourself on your latest video 😂😂😇
Stick Goose,Why did you sell your Hulk#181? It's the holy grail book of the bronze age.Yoi should waited till you had a better copy then sold it.
I never trusted elite comics, I'm glad they are being mentioned for what they are.
Ouch. But I think this is the kind of thing that happens when you sell under duress. He needed some money for something big in his life so he may have made a bad decision or trusted the wrong people and just took what he could get. Reminded me when I needed to sell my books or have the pickup repo'd. I took what I could get for them and kept on trucking... that I could have gotten more for them wasn't even really a consideration since I got what I needed.
I think PGX has a little bit of the blame . The person who married the insert with the book has the most blame . And Elite has blame also for telling to sell so low. Definitely sounds like someone who knows them bought it for cheap. And they will remove it and replace staples with period . correct ones. Make a couple of grand.
Why didn't he crack it out and have the bs removed? Then send it back in? That's what the person who bought it will do. Then that person will laugh all the way to the bank after he/she doubled their money. Smh...
I would never trust PGX
Yeesh. Just rip out the insert and resub. Some people are just ASKING to be robbed.
Well it just goes to show the snakes in this business still but I suppose wherever there’s business there’s gonna be snakes! Period! Still sucks majorly
Pretty sure I saw this sold on IG
Honestly this was mostly his fault
Ive seen fomos take bigger hits.
Nelson munce stylee... HA HA...
Can't be un-marry that insert for a Blue Label 8.5? I'd of called CGC on it and said I want it re-graded after it's unmarried!
He ain't just taking a haircut, homie got scalped!
You're leaving out the fact that Elite will cover the buyer's costs if the seller fails to ship what was promised.
You really have the worst takes on things. Anything for views, I guess. The Jack Doherty of the comic world.
Wanna roll sometime?
@@Stickygoose hahaha I'm always down to roll. :)
Sweet no gi?
@@Stickygoose your call!
@@Stickygoose actually, I play more tennis these days. Let's settle it on the tennis court.
