It's too bad your sale won't show up in GPA, because it would be great for the book. I've always felt 9.6's were under-valued, as that grade is in the top 4.9% or so of all copies ever graded. (thumbs u -J.

-J. judging by the current news of secret wars, i'd say there is quite a chance she does become a regular rather Spider character rather then from an alternate universe character... I suggest you read up on how its going to work son.... You were wrong then and you're still wrong. Alternate universe characters possibly crossing paths with the real characters from 616 in a Secret Wars crossover doesn't mean jack. You are seriously overestimating the "potential" of this barely three month old re-hashed, gimmicky character. Son. -J.

Book ended at $6777. Wow. I wonder how much of that price is attributable to the small doodle that they included with the book. -J. I doubt the doodle had much affect on the price. The book itself was really sharp, rich colors and a perfect wrap. I think picky collectors are starting to realize the wrap on this book is difficult in high grade, most people keep the nice ones and when they do come out for auction a premium is paid. I believe this is why there is such a variance in the realized prices at times. You nailed it. I'm the one who won this book last night. I've been looking to buy this (not holy) Grail of mine for a long time, and none of the previous books struck me as "the right one". I saw this book, and knew it had to be mine. No idea why, haha. It just felt like the right book. I overpayed, no doubt. But to be honest, this book is extrememly important to me (2nd favorite character since I started collecting comics as a kid), and I'm never going to sell it anyway. I went for the GS XM #1 too, but my bid on that got smoked. The prices for these books were way more than I had anticipated. Anyway, here she is. My new pride and joy. That's a damn fine looking copy Viking. Well done. Congratulations on the pick up! -J.

-1. Gwen Stacy is not a new character. This costume is new. And apart from some playful ribbing regarding her footwear, I guess you missed the last half dozen or so posts where everyone complained about the fact that she is NOT wearing the costume on the announced cover. -J. That would be the case for anybody from Superman/Clark Kent to Spider-man/Peter Parker. The hero is always in higher demand than the alter ego imo. Yup. (thumbs u Although here we have a previously existing character shoehorned into a previously existing concept in an "alternate universe". The neat costume being the only actually "new" thing, I don't blame fans for wanting to see it prominently on the cover. -J.

I went on a mini rant, when I did not have all of the facts. Nothing wrong with Marvel asking him for it, or even him shopping it to them. Either way, its a nice piece, and yes I think wearing a costume would have been much cooler. Agreed. Especially since that's 99% of this incarnation of the character's appeal. -J. What does that say for the long term appeal and success of the character? -J.

Good lord man, where are you getting this information from? Or are you just completely making things up to artificially pump this book even further for some reason? -J.

You could probably pick almost any nondescript modern out of a hat and wonder why there aren't more copies in 9.8 on the census. That might just be about the worst basis there is to overpay a large amount of money for a generic modern book. -J.

Congrats on the snag ! Snikt needs to update the club list again. ! -J.

It is marginal but with that much missing cover and the combination of other flaws it probably is properly graded as a 0.5. But it might be the best 0.5 you'll ever see. Wouldn't surprise me to see this copy set a GPA high for the grade. (The one currently on ebay.) On another note, is it just me or do there seem to be a relative dearth of AF 15's on the market these days? The conventional wisdom is usually "you can find an AF 15 in pretty much any grade any day of the week". Hasn't seem to have been the case for the last few months or so. -J.

Ahhhh marriage. Congrats on the pick up! You got a nice deal. (thumbs u Only one left on ebay now.... -J.

Could be the 9.8 SS somebody immediately popped when the seller lowered the price.... ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wolverine-1-CGC-9-8-SS-Campbell-dead-pool-variant-/271723387086?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3f43f9d8ce -J.

Lots of neat costumes in this one. -J.

Who me? I just got here! -J.

It is gonna hold it's current value. She's here to stay. I know I am in the minority. I also own ZERO copies, so I think my opinion is unbiased, Take it for what you will. I have no dogs in this fight,. I hope it crashes, honestly, so I can buy one at a price i'm comfortable with. I just don't see it happening. Patience Grasshoppa. You will have your chance. This time won't be different. (thumbs u -J.

I'm not sure I have ever heard of something like that actually making a difference in value. -J.

Nice book congrats again ! Wtf where's QC at CGC with the mis-cut label? -J.

Actually, it went for 20% less than a 6.5 ow/w that sold last year. I believe the difference in prices realized is indeed due to the chipping and missing corner piece on the copy just sold. While the CGC-assigned numerical grade is an important factor in determining a key's value, so to is how nice the comic looks. I am inclined to agree with this. It's still a helluva good price for that though. Only $6500 less than the 5.5 below it, also on comic link? Wow. I think that would have realized more in a straight auction. -J.

It went 10 % less than the last 6.5 from a year and a half ago. And $4k less than a 6.0 that just sold on comic connect. I can't imagine the chipping was that big of a factor... -J.

Somebody got a hell of a deal on this one: http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsearch%2Easp%3Fwhere%3Dsell%26title%3Damazing%2Bfantasy%2B15%26x%3D1%26y%3D6%26ItemType%3DCB&id=1010991 -J.

Nice snikt! Great haul. -J.
