Funny Seller Taglines

Sellers generally try and play up the product they're trying to sell. You'd want to mention if it's a pedigree comic or if it's the highest CGC grade. But sometimes things can get a little silly. One of my favorites is the tagline I've often seen attached to World's Finest #26. In it the acrobatic Robin the Boy Wonder awkwardly rides a unicycle while Batman and Superman hold up their arms to catch him lest he fall. It's a very simple, innocent image very reminiscent of the Golden Age covers. The line for the comic says, "considered by experts as the ultimate unicycle cover". Experts? Comic experts or unicycle experts? I seriously hope that was put up there as a joke.

My favorite one, however, is a recent issue of Captain Marvel Adventures #118 posted on EBAY, a nondescript issue in a series that's currently somewhat cold. Let's say you send in your comic to CGC grading and it comes back a disappointing 6.0. What to do? Give it away? Nope. The verbiage proclaims, "only 1 in 6.0". That's right. This issue isn't a dud, it's exclusive. Personally I have a 9.2 of that issue, the highest grade that exists but there are TWO graded 9.2. There is only ONE 6.0. And the seller has priced it based on its exclusivity. The sellers "Buy it Now: price is $199, a price more fitting for an 8.5 and that's IF people were buying CMA at guide price... and they aren't. The starting bid is $50 and I highly doubt anyone will bite even at that price.
