Guess the last one just caught everyone off-guard.

The last one ending on a Tuesday did not help it either (for the seller).

It was a buy it now. Don't think the seller did his research.

I just purchased a copy of "The Little Endless Storybook" on eBay today for a "Buy It Now" of $9.00 plus $4.00 shipping

Being a HUGE Sandman/Endless fan, I have been wanting this book for years, but was always let down by the astronomical prices. Seeing this for such a cheap price (as opposed to $30-$40+ as usual), I couldn't let it pass by!!!

I could have gotten that for cover a while back. I'm not a big fan of the "little" versions.

I picked up:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars TPB Vol 1, 2, 3, 4
Star Wars: Dark Times TPB Vol 1

Each TPB is in beautiful condition and cost me $6.50 each.

Not a bad start to my Star Wars TPB collection.

That's cool. I wouldn't say i'm a HUGE fan of the little versions either, but I loved Jill Thompson's "Death: At Death's Door" manga and have also enjoyed her work outside of the Gaiman realm. Looking forward to reading it

Green Lantern, volume 2, # 89...in what I honestly think is 9.8....a book that could go for 120-150....for 45 dollars. I also got # 59, of the same volume, for 5 dollars, but it's in much rougher shape. I'd peg it no higher than 8.0, probably around a 7.5. A very nice reader copy, though.

I just couldn't pass it up. I know I shouldn't have spent the money, but when was I going to find such a great copy at the same price point? Not likely to happen any time soon, if ever. So, I pounced. RAWR! It's mine

Yep. Every once in a while, fortune smiles, and you just have to take advantage of the opportunity.

OOPS. The part of my entry that I didn't put in was "raw"...followed by "several times that in true CGC". Looking at the book again, I'd give it a 9.6. Still a damn nice deal. Oh, and that 59? It's a 51. Slip of the keyboard.

I have 2 CGC books. Both Eternal Warrior Gold. One of each type. The flat is in 9.2 and the embossed is in 9.8 and yes, both are for sale. Want to add to your CGC pile?

Knightt · Post by **Knightt** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:18 am

I am sure that they are both what I would like to spend, brother.

I understood it was raw, but I was letting you know that if you think it COULD grade CGC 9.6 or 9.8, you would be selling yourself short at $120-$150.
