Why was I brought into this? I specifically say I do not provide a restoration check on books. If I had charged for the service, and failed to catch the missing page, I could see mentioning me

Hypothetically was this book in your 8-12 books? Asking for a friend.

What if you only have the order number? Apparently, I was not smart enough to write down the CGC invoice number. 

I have a submission number you can check from your 8-12 batch I saved in an email.

If the modern graders are moving over, my expectation for the grades on the Golden Age books are pretty low now.

is now a buyers market? is a book being down 15-30% from last year's record high really very down? after all, many of these books increased in value from 2020 to 2021 by 100 or 200 per cent, some books more. i guess it tends to be the keys and semi-keys that increased the most in 2021 and most of them are doing just fine, or still increasing. the overall state of the world and the stock market are surely creating fear and uncertainty that probably won't help overall comics values, though keys are somewhat immune of late. but for non keys, will we see further drops? after all a book that doubled in value in 2021 and then lost 50 percent of that back this year still feels pretty up to me. though i wouldn't wanna sell it.

Personally for me, yes some are in ranges I am comfortable with, but granted I am not chasing the big keys at the moment(aside from Showcase 4). I needed to upgrade my Conan 1 and figured a 37% price cut was good enough for me. If certain books keep dropping and I like them I average down and buy another copy or two. When I go to sell to shift funds in another book, those copies have always had good returns over the years. 

To avoid boring you all, I deleted my full paragraph on the stock market and comics.

The big auction houses will tell you when the stock market crashes, investors flee into collectibles.  Don't know how true that is, but it appears true for at least the grail books.

I try to buy both while down, impossible to time any market though.

Shocked as well that stain held a 9.2.

This thread is like the Bermuda Triangle of the boards.  I don't know why I ever fly near it.

What did we miss? 

If you are in it long term it will not matter. If every post you have is an auction update it probably does matter.

1994 #25 (Jun 1982) Reader Copy

I'll give this to the person who claims it.  Let's say that you must have claimed something else as well, so you are still responsible for shipping cost.  FWIW this material will never be collected in a collected edition of any kind.  

I will take it.

It seems like this book is slowly creeping up with some recent sales.  Rick posted 3 copies to his IG account and think he sold all 3 before he even made it to the show a week later.

I think decent copies have been moving well for the past 3 years. I had been actively trying to find a 3-4.0ish copy for the past 3 years and they all were selling pretty quickly unless they had some real presentation issues. I had hoped DC keys would not have the same trajectory as Marvel keys but what you could buy a 4.0 3 years ago will be luckily to land a 1.5 now and that is what cooled my search.
