    Sorry for the digression, but back to the topic on hand:

    Anybody else here think the purchaser made an astute and very timely purchase here at $598K while the AF 15 market is a tad soft and this purchase will look like a steal once the heat of the market cycles back to the Spidey books?  hm

    No...the guy got ripped off! :screwy:

    I've been looking at a lot of Silver Age books recently. The old CGC label books consistently look better than let's say "half" of newer-label books. I suspect that pressing has to do with it. I want a book that's 100% natural. I don't want it to be as flat as possible. It just doesn't look right to me. I feel like pressing will make a book with a 'meh' wrap look a lot worse when flattened.

    What SA books are you looking at?

    There's not too many old (burgundy & blue) CGC label books around. :whistle:

    Why would you a buy a 9.8 Silver Age key for 5 figures, when you could get a 9.6 for $8k?

    Why buy a 9.6 for $8k when you can get a 9.4 for < $4k?

    The prices seemingly continue to cut in half for each grade below. Why the insanity? Especially when the line between grades 9.0 and above are so thin. What is wrong with you people!?

    This is, of course, speaking to the graded-comic market and not the raw comic market. Is the raw market any more stable and reasonable?

    Do you own any CGC comics? :taptaptap:
