Still in theory it is the comic book which is collectable, not the staple......so I don't see restoration designation to be revenant.

It has been a heck of year...start on New Years eve early...why not..

staple replacement with similar staples...has nothing to do with the book itself as long as the staples are from the same era...I know I complain about pressing the book...but rusty staples can ruin a book...replace if necessary to save book....

what is the point of pressing a GA/SA comic book...to "game" the grading system and get the grade pumped up on steroids. The comic book was not created to be pressed, page enhanced...unrestored should be just that.... restoration to newsstand condition by pressing...and grade enhancing...its a shame, the real 9.8 untouched gets to be lumped in with a jacked up GA/SA comic dilute the true Ga/SA census and true Ga/SA comic book value.

WOW never seen that before...great book

I think any alteration of a GA comic book is restoration, they just call it a different name...since that generates revenue.

As Dave from storage wars would say...Yeeppp..I have been there and done that too many times..

great comparison here, clearly the 9.0 printing wise is a superior copy or example of a batman 1 "top" cover wise..however I noticed it was on the right corner of the 9.0 it was showing inside contents so, I would rather have the cover completely cover the book's interior and I think the 9.4 overall is a superior copy even if pressed I doubt it would get higher than a 9.2 or double pressed due to that defect.

agreed, but it assures that BOTH the exterior and interior at the time of grading was the best copy in existence graded at that time

Lets not forget the last Action 1 was up over I think 1 million dollars from the last 9.0 because of the WHITE pages which were shown on the video...I do not think you can underestimate the value of white pages that elevates the Bat #1 over #27

I would have to second that...for one reason only WHITE PAGES and highest grade...it is a GA comic book in a class by itself...now the 8.0 #27 tough call...but this 9.4 looks very very sharp

I agree, resubmit is the game...

It looks like my estimate of 2 million might be a bit low...could be 2,160,000

First appearance Mystery in Space #21-1954...classic DC 50's SF

I think any stimulus will have a positive effect on the GA/SA comic book market, especially on the low end material and increase demand.

To me higher sales price..higher sales tax...right

The bid price has topped 1 million with BP at 1,020,000 early on WOW

I cannot understand why any seller would want a BP either?

I think for high quality books HA is worth the difference,CC charging BP is just the begining but in terms of website and buyer reach Ha is the clear #1 by a mile

any classic space cabbie?....

great stuff....thanks for the scans

super...thanks

I think the book is super....I would say $700K

Super photo...thank you and MC
