 GA/SA market ...Your Market predictions for 4th Q  are ????

I expect continued divergence between SA and GA markets based, in part, on supply considerations. GA scarcity has made certain books coveted (and rising) even while the SA market cools. One wild card will be when CGC starts grading pulps, and how much appeal they have to GA collectors. 

Fantastic Four 69 $10

Hulk 148 FN $12

Hulk 160 VG/FN $10

Hulk 166 FN- $10

Iron Man 119 VF+ $10

The fact anyone would sell a 2.5 reprint boggles my mind. 

It seems likely the buyer thought it was a first print at those prices.

Does CGC have an arrangement that waives the FedEx $1,000 maximum on collectibles? FedEx will happily take your money for high insurance coverage, but if you file a claim, the maximum is $1,000 for "collectibles."

FedEx Declared Value $1,000 Limitations

Individual packages with the following items are limited to a maximum declared value of $1,000:

1. Artwork, paintings, drawings, vases, limited-edition prints, fine art, statuary, sculpture, and collector’s items
2. Any film, photographic images, negatives, chromes, and slides
3. Any commodity inherently susceptible to damage or the market value is variable or difficult to ascertain
4. Antiques, furniture, tableware, and glassware
5. Plasma screens
6. Jewelry or Furs
7. Precious metals (gold, silver, or platinum)
8. Stocks, bonds, cash letters, or cash equivalents (stamps, traveler’s checks, lottery tickets, money orders, gift cards)
9. Collector’s items (coins, stamps, sports cards, souvenirs, and memorabilia)

"insurance coverage of up to $50,000 per package procured by CGC." it could be another provider of insurance https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10238/return-shipping-updates/

Heritage September auction CGC X-Men 1 8.5 went for $78k.

Just around one year ago there was a heritage auction sale around $170k

Temporal discounting: collectors anticipating X-men would enter the MCU  shifted to more near term opportunities. X-men will have their day in the Sun.

Amazing Spider-man #40

I would grade this as a 4.5.

IT HAS AMATEUR COLOR TOUCH IN MULTIPLE SPOTS

Mainly along the spine but Spidey also took it right in the crotch.

It should be obvious from the pictures

Decent gloss. Couple of creases upper left front cover.

Bronze Age? According to Cgc those are moderns baby!

That is just cgc's tier distinction, which is different from defining an era of comics. The definitions of eras as subjective, but the 70s are almost always classified in the bronze age.

Kinda sorta close. But it is the exact font as Stranger Things show. 

 

Fair point

Yep.

Complete, exact and total "Stranger Things" ripoff (of their homage to Stephen King).
