    I’m sure I’m beating a dead horse with this topic, but I won this off of ebay at auction recently and I was very disappointed at the quality of the book once I inspected at home.  I’m giving the seller the benefit of the doubt at the moment, but he only posted 4 grainy pictures with the comic inside of the CGC bag and, in hindsight, I should have asked for better pictures, but it is what it is.  
    I have quite a few 9.8s in my collection so I’m not a total newbie, but I just want to make sure I’m not completely crazy about this being over graded.  I think a 9.4 is probably appropriate, but a 9.8? Mr Magoo must have been doing some freelance for CGC that day.  
    Anyway, I see a color breaking spine tick on the front and a couple on the back, multiple color rubs areas on the front and back, color loss at the bottom left corner and bottom edge, a 1/4” color breaking line at the top back edge and the worst being a 1/16 corner crease on the back corner. 
    Let me know what you guys think?21BAD899-95BD-4C4E-A534-4061A3507BDB.thumb.jpeg.de719796c54f4f8dc1372a675bb44861.jpeg214DA318-76BA-4368-830D-BE8A3E16F1E2.thumb.jpeg.b1579af93f493a60e3d2f67a602e1c18.jpeg02E6DBBC-8F80-42F4-85F9-2DF7435FA1E6.thumb.jpeg.50704642813a3dcd8b7d0d40b61dd8c6.jpeg02E6DBBC-8F80-42F4-85F9-2DF7435FA1E6.thumb.jpeg.50704642813a3dcd8b7d0d40b61dd8c6.jpeg992FE154-AE73-492B-935F-975E43AFD247.thumb.jpeg.21ab53dcf6b3f771eec2ae1b7ebcfd9d.jpeg

    There is NO way that book should be a 9.8.  If I was in the market for that book and it was sold to me that way I would be pissed.

    They aren't prices to sell you know that right?

     

    I think those prices are absurd but how can anyone be surprised if it does sell? There was a Ultimate Fallout 4 Djurdjevic Variant that sat on ebay for months with a crazy asking price and then it sold.  Do I think it will sell for the asking price,  no but I do think a high offer will come in and be accepted.

    What, do you think the graded population is low?

    Here's some context:

    By the time Ultimate Fallout 4 was published, there were over 2k copies of NM98 and over 5k copies of ASM300 on the census.

    By the time Ultimate Fallout 4 had 100 regular copies on the census, NM98 had over 6k copies and ASM300 had over 8k copies.

    ASM 300 has been worth submitting since CGC opened and New Mutants 98 not quite as long. Ultimate Fallout 4 didn't become really popular until a few years ago.

    I think given more time we will start to see the same amount of submissions as the other 2 books.  I just listed those 2 books because of their popularity.  I mean ASM 300 is almost 33 years old and NM 98 is 30 years old, heck CGC started grading in the year 2000!

    Please flood the market with them so the graded issue price comes down and I can finally afford to buy one ??

    I am not sure how far down the prices will fall and if it does it will not be by much.  I was looking at some census data and I was shocked to see the grading count so far on this book considering the popularity.

    So here is the current count
