Surely this must be a candidate for "most valuable book in the world"?

Personally, I'm glad to be collecting right now... in terms of back issues from eras prior, you can find some great deals out there. While I've been mostly a Marvel guy my collecting life, they are pretty low in terms of my priority right now... DC is definitely mopping the floor with them right now. About 5 years ago, Marvel was putting out some of the best runs in recent memory of the big two, but that has really changed in the last two years. Then you look at Image... I don't think there's been more consistently great output from a publisher in my lifetime. Even the lesser and overlooked books hold some creative value to me (Ringside... no one cares about it, but I thought it was great... then you've got the weird stuff like 8House and Island that people don't tend to care much for, but I've never read anything quite like those books.) Then there's the great Image books that haven't jumped up in value at all, like Paper Girls, in my opinion one of the very best books on the market. Other indie publishers are putting out great stuff left and right like Albatross, Aftershock, and even Black Mask to an extent.
The spec market does terrify me, though. Especially on certain Image books (Redneck, Seven To Eternity, God Country) and even stuff from the big two (Totally Awesome Hulk #22, I'm looking dead at you). I don't really have a point to this post but to say that I can kind of see where the OP is coming from, but this is certainly not a golden age for comics in general.
In a rather short time span i have read different stuff from
jeff lemire
jason aaron
tom king
jon hickmann
ed brubaker
greg rucka
Seth
kurt busiek
Scott snyder
a. Moores recent lovecraft stuff
+ All the above affiliated artists
You get My drift.
And i just went wow. And thought is this a new ... something?

The resto work that is noted on the label will definitely tame the price. I would not resubmit this book. First off, even if it got a 9.6, it won't help the valuation. It's still the Single Highest graded at 9.4 or 9.6 . I would also not risk a change of position on the resto work to a Purple Label. The risk/reward is not there. Very pretty book ! Shame some insufficiently_thoughtful_person worked on it.
I wonder who monkey'ed with this book?
price: pure folly imho...

I purchased a stack of The Buyers Guide for Comic Fandoms a while back and finally got around to looking through #145 yesterday. It's from 1976 and is the San Diego Comic Con report issue. It has 7 FULL pages of photos and a couple more of text interviews and info all about the show. Pretty cool . So, in the middle of the photos of comic guests, artists and writers like Steranko, Sergio Aragones, Mel Blanc etc. , I found a photo of a current boardie holding up a golden age book. It made me smile. I figure GOLD is the best place to post it.
Here's a sample of a few of the photos with our boardies shot at the bottom. Can you tell what book it is ? I'm pretty sure I know
and this one......
Hey
Mitch rocks ....!

I believe you are correct, I didn't see it on my initial look , but after you pointed it out, it's quite clear
If that is correct that this Brown area is inpainted, then 'small amount' is a misplaced term.
in the old grading system "small amount" meant small i.e. Down to 2-3 miniscule dots on the spine.

Not gonna be able to remove the color touch to make this book a blue label. I bet whorver is buying thinks otherwise. Lots of marker touch up on cover, bleeding through
Hmm ... book is slight (A). I have seen SA-books carrying this designation ("small amount of CT") with just 2-3 miniscule hits of CT along the spine. But you see "Lots of marker" on this book ?

I'll never have an autographed Stan Lee anything. When was the last time new price records were broken with Stan Lee's autograph on it??
Wonder when he Will stop defacing Books with his scriplings? He has not created anything since Kirby left Marvel. Go figure ...

I'm confused by how grading works. How does a book with the date stamped on it receive a 9.6? I've seen other SA books with stamps/markings on them that seemingly have no impact on the grade as well. I would have assumed any sort of marking would bring down the grade, or that you would need a qualified label that says "stamp on cover" or some such.
such a friggin awesome cover ...

The suits at Marvel corp. has mistreated raw talent from Kirby to Hickmann.

Probably a different set for anyone you ask, but in my opinion there is also going to be some overlap on stuff that is simply objectively bad in one way or another... art or writing, etc. I'm just pulling numbers out of thin air here, but I'd have to say that number is at least a third of all output.
I respectfully disagree.
Id say roughly 50% is commercial filler (to be shunned).
