    Keep in mind, the 10-30% is a range. It's not a definitive %. Each book is different but that's generally the range I discount for the books as marvel chipping increases. Not sure if the market is "100%" on board or not (sales are too erratic these days)

    Welllll, she will not settle for anything higher than 10% decrease, according to her 50 posts. 

  2. ASM 11 CGC 8.0 OW

    This happens to be my under copy.imageproxy.php?img=&key=31b352271b3a5a4b

    1100$ shipped US, presents extremely well and has never been pressed. A lot of visible NCB stuff going on, so it is safe for you anti pressers.

    Making wildly fanciful statements like this, do you even realize that the primary grader for the newer company is the same primary grader for the first several years of CGC's existence?  Any CGC slab sporting an old label or an earlier example of a new (second generation) label holds a book that was finalized by the same grader.  

     

    Surely, there's a space in between 'not wanting a single one in one's collection' and 'CBCS does not equal CGC'.

    This. I don't think supergirl is aware CBCS is ran by an ex CGC president/primary grader. I think they also have some very competent ex CGC graders on their staff.

    So to pass on a gorgeous book is foolish, especially at a slight discount.

    You can't compare a final hammer price with a book graded by CBCS versus the #1 grading company in the hobby CGC. Everyone knows CBCS brings much lower prices at auction. By the way the book you are talking about has both marvel chipping (and I have seen much worse amounts of it than what shown on this AF15 CBCS 5.0.....this is by no means the worst 5.0 when comes to chipping) and marvel pre-chipping.

    But yes if the MC is major then it will affect the price much more than one that has only medium amounts of chipping or better only minor chipping or the least worst of the chipping options......that is pre-chipping.....then comes a book with no chipping at all. These would be the 5 categories I would base myself on before buying a book. What percentage each one brings is another matter (I simply do not know). In the end the interior counts as well as the back cover in making a proper judgement call before buying a book for it's overall grade (we are putting a lot on emphasis on marvel chipping so I add this so people do not forget the remaining factors on a book before spending big bucks).

    In this market a clean CBCS 6.5 without chipping will destroy a clean CGC 6.5 with chipping. 

    Chipped AF15 do not get premiums.

    An anonymous one at that. Who is it? Maybe the art was sitten' in that warehouse Marvel had in a scary part of town that was categorized in the 70s and came from there. But who took it from there?

     

     

    I believe the "story" is somewhere along the lines of an employee(janitor?), took a ton of OA(complete books), and sold them. Don't hold me to it though, I remember it vaguely from a thread and I'm unsure if the af15 was in there.

    I remember this one.  I wish I had it back.  You definitely got the best of that trade by far!!!!  Luckily a raw copy that was in the wild fell into my lap and graded out at 4.0 so I'm not too depressed.

    I caught ya on tilt after the grade came in, was even at the time though. Either way, it's safe with me. I can't afford an upgrade.
