  1. CVA is a service which is of some value to a segment of the slabbed comics buying community.

  3. Uniformed bidders are the worst. Thinking they're special because they've got a special outfit...
  4. NO one has ever said they will. What people have said OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER ad nauseum in this thread is that the NON-EXISTENT 9.6 and 9.8 copies of Cerebus 1 will - since they don't exist, it may be difficult, but bear with me - sell for a ˆsignificant premium over the corresponding graded Hulk 181s, and that the 5 copies of Cerebus 1 in 9.4 - as shown by GPA data, so this is NOT conjecture - sell for a 50% premium over corresponding graded Hulk 181s.
  5. I think you don't know what a Straw man argument is. The topic of this post is questioning if Cerebus 1 is more valuable than Hulk 181. The OP thought that idea wrong... perhaps ridiculous "Really Overstreet?". I presented actual sales that said Cerebus is more valuable than Hulk 181 -in 9.4. And speculated from that data point that the same would hold true in the better than NM grades. If a Cerebus 1 was ever graded 9.8, it too would also sell for much more than Hulk 181 in 9.8. A straw man argument is where one argues against a view the other person DOES NOT HAVE. That is not what I did.
  6. Comparing prices using different grades is the biggest straw man argument in the entire thread. Yeah, that's why this thread was a joke from the start. It was solely based on irrelevant numbers from an annual huge waste of paper. I've never started threads with titles like "It took you a full decade to realize this issue sells for 10x Guide? Really Overstreet?" because I knew it never actually mattered. Um... duh? You of all people should understand how auctions work. It's not like any of your beloved variants have more than 3 (if even that many) people bidding above 50% or so of the hammer in most auctions. Reminds me of certain other (versions of) books that are nowhere near as significant.
  7. That can't be true, because they weren't discovered until 1998. "Eminent experts" say so (I must keep things anonymous, so I'm not accused of "cyber bullying", you see, and thrown off the boards yet again.)
  8. The West coast didn't see these books until Nov 19/20. DC's official publication date is Nov 17.
