    I can see the hesitancy to shell out for a higher grade SA book with cr-ow pages, but I'm not that trustful of CGC's page evaluation, so on a slabbed book I have no way of knowing if one book with cr-ow pages has page quality any less than or even as dark as another book with ow pages.

    The great thing about sixty years of convoluted and contradictory continuity is you can pick and choose what to ignore. In my mind, not only did Gwen Stacy never sleep with Norm Osborne, but she's still dead.

    You can still find a lower grade FF 55 for $50 if you look, but I'd look for an attractive mid grade copy of a favorite cover from later in the original run, or as nice a copy of FF 72 as I could find, which is an iconic Kirby Surfer cover, but not as pricey as the earlier ones in the FF run.

    Paying 3x 9.6 price for a 9.8 when the difference is likely more reflective of a grader's mood than any qualitative difference in the book is crazy enough, but folks do like their 9.8 labels, especially on Silver Age. Paying 9X the 9.6 price is what people who have too much money do. Congrats to the seller on extracting some.

    NATIONAL COMICS #16 Apparent 2.0 ow-w pages Someone colored in Uncle Sam's lapels with a layer of blue ink, and then maybe tried to erase some of it. Cover is detached, 1" spine split at bottom, 2" tear at bottom of cover. The "10" written next to Uncle Sam gouges through the cover. $1200 Now $1100

    NATIONAL COMICS #7 EX-CGC 6.0 (CONSERVED) OW-W pages Spine split seal, cover reinforced, staples replaced. Cracked out of case, but still in sealed inner well. I think CGC was a bit generous with the grade as looking at the spine through the well it looks like was about 50% split prior to repair. That said, it has killer eye-appeal. $3000 Now $2800
