Never fear Steve. Tec 35 went all the way to 9.8

In my mailbox Richard. Book was graded 2 days ago.

There's another low grade AS8 that will be auctioned off on HA in Nov

This is key before jumping to conclusions. CGC 6.5 B-5 as a starting point. Any idea what it was prior to its initial restoration? To hit 6.5 B-5, at best would be 1.0

No. There's restored and then there's super-duper-turbo-charged restored.

Highly likely.

I'd rather your copy too.

Doubt they'll be interested. O they been interested few times now along with my 1 To buy I'm sure. To have work done for you I highly doubt.

Doubt it. Wow what a way to hurt my feelings if i had any.

Doubt they'll be interested.

The Tec 33 9.4 was a 6.0 B-5 so this one was likely same.

Real deal. New label.

Bound to happen ...

But isn't the highest graded #22 a 9.0 [haven't seen the census in a few years] while there are a half dozen or so #4 in 9.0 or higher? Highest is a 9.2 (was my old 8.5 that thomas wilson bought, double up'd and then sold right away on Clink) - maybe 3 years ago. There is a 9.6 sc4 and a 9.4 sc4, but they're both really tough above 8.5, period. SC4 is tougher in aggregate (less copies). sc4 is also easier to get a high page quality on. sc22 next and bb 28 is most difficult of the 3. my dataset is a few dozen to several dozen copies of each. JD I disagree. Currently on the CGC there are: SC 4 Sc22 BB 28 9.6 1 9.6 0 9.6 0 9.4. 2 9.4 0 9.4 2 9.2. 2 9.2 1 9.2 3 9.0 2 9.0 3 9.0 7 8.5 3 8.5 4 8.5 7 8.0 7 8.0 7 8.0 23 7.5 7 7.5 10 7.5 15 The data shows that SC22 is the rarest in 8.0+ grade, next would be SC4 and then BB28. The softer price for BB28 in 8.0 is due to so many copies in 8.0. I agree that SC4 is printed in better paper with three copies with WP's in 7.5+ compare to one SC22 in 7.5+ with WP and one BB28 in 7.5+ with WP. There has been as many as 8 copies Showcase 4 and 15 Brave and the Bold 8.0 added to the census the last five years and compare to only 2 Showcase 22 8.0+ added the last five years. I love all three books, but SC22 is the rarest to find in high grade (yes, I have position on all three books). No question.

Anyone win the restored HA 6.0 copy ? http://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/superhero/amazing-fantasy-15-marvel-1962-cgc-apparent-fn-60-slight-b-1-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7139-93213.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013

Yup

I slabbed a 9.8 a few years back and got a silly lowball from him. Sold it to Metro for more than double. Not nearly as nice as Mr. I's copy though. Yes I remember it.

This copy belongs ( not anymore ) to colmoreman I bid fierce against him on this copy (at the time there were about 4-5 copies in 9.8 iirc) when it first was auctioned but lost. Not too long after, I picked up my own 9.8w ( at much less ) Congrats !

As of 2 (?) years ago he did not. Cal (Calamerica) calls himself the "King of IMSM". He is no longer as active a boardie as he was in the past. I used to taunt him 4-5 years ago that I was "Prince" of IMSM ( as I owned a 9.8w and almost picked up a second copy) and he was but a "Duke" ( as he has never owned a 9.8)

and today I come across this sales thread

Here's an upcoming 5.5 for anyone with the funds.

Great looking book. Do you have a picture of the back because the front looks better than a 5.0 Here you go. My kinda 5.0
