    Ok, here are some earlier Rangers.  I do apologize that I don't have a scanner and have to take pics by hand.  And before anyone mentions it, I KNOW that busting these beautiful books free of their cases would get ride of the glare.  Don't even say it. :foryou:  I will say that I have enough raw FH books to keep me busy.

    Impressive!  8 and 10 are both tougher issues.

    I said back in '17 and I think it's still close:

    Mid-grade camp era books: 5-7x market for non-ped copy (example the Captain Midnight)

    High grade, classic cover, or military cover camp era books: 10x market for non-ped copy (example Yank on HA) 

    Non-camp era books: 2x market for non-ped copy (but this can swell to 4x market if the market has been okajima dry for a while) (example Firehair on CC a few months back)

    I think this falls into the midgrade camp era multiplier so 5-7x a regular copy, and a regular copy sold for just over $200 last year. So if it was listed for $1000-$1400 it'd get picked up. But at 20x market? That's a "I don't actually want to sell this" price.

    Seems like the Whiz 55 is priced about the same as the Whiz 58 that sold in the same grade https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/whiz-comics-58-okajima-pedigree-fawcett-publications-1944-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/121846

    Well, since all of you guys seem to be so infatuated with Danny Boy here, how about the thread from way back where he and a few of our very own board members here like Masterchief, Red Hook, etc. opened the kimono and everybody here saw for the first time what was actually going on behind the scenes with CGC and "certain people in the know" with respect to the "maximization of potential" on books.  :whatthe:  :whatthe:  :whatthe:

    That thread certainly took on a life of its own and not surprisingly, seem to :blahblah:  :blahblah:  :blahblah:  on for something like well over 150 pages of shock, anger, and total disbelief at the shenanigans that had been taking place for years.  Especially when everybody had been under the impression that 3rd party independent grading was supposed to be preventing these exact types of situations, as opposed to surrepititiously facilitating them through the laundering of manipulated books into an unsuspecting marketplace.  :mad:  :censored:

    I'd love to see this thread if anyone can dig it up.
