Must be lighting or bad pic.  The back is clean.  Thank you

Still a nice book though.  Congrats!

Looks like a 9.0 - 9.2.  Is that a stain/splotch on the BTRC?

Beautiful book.  I'd say it's in VF+ (8.5).

VG/FN (5.0)

Good (2.0). 

VG- (3.5).

Good+ (2.5)

Good- (1.8). 

Agree.  VG- (3.5).

Looks pretty cool.   I'm interested in seeing how that works.  

I think the OP stated he got refunded for the lost book.  The current owner of the book probably paid, and it sounds like it was a legitimate sale, a very small percentage of what the work is actually valued at.  If the value of the work was closer to like $50, then this thread probably would never have been created.

I believe married components generate a Green qualified label.

Yeah, it looks like it'll get a green label for married covers.

Those books are only back covers, not both covers.

The Idea is to find a coverless book and complete one book.

So to marry the cover to the complete book.  Still purple label, not conserve, unless CGC changed their stance on it.

I did, but i look everywhere, found nothing who worth it for the moment.

Try this thread.   

I'm sure there are a lot of scam sites out there, but if you're looking for a book (JLA?), then why don't you look for that book at legitimate sites or auction houses?  

Nevermind.  I see your other thread.  

Wouldn't the missing page prevent it from getting that high of grade?

I already decided to buy a new copy of this one considering the great deal i got for the whole run. However after bought a new copy i tried to correcting a bit this one but like it always happen i made it worst... 

What did you do to correct it?  It looks like tape pull on the cover now.

I think to books like Batman 227, 251 or Green Lantern 76. People continue to send these kind of books to cgc so im a bit confused about the increasing even in ten or twenty years.

It doesn't matter if people continue to send books like that in because it will continue to go up in price.  It's just the way it works.  Ask yourself, are there any books you would gladly pay 2013 or 2003 prices for today?  I'm sure you would.  As others stated, it's supply and demand.  Not many dealer will stay in business if they sold books for the price they paid for it.  They're going to have to charge more and if their replacement costs go up so does the selling price.
