So I am looking at a listing on ebay it's cgc graded and I place a bid.  The listing says there is a chunk missing from the case, but no big deal.  Then I see several other books that I would also be interested in.... but ALL of them have a chunk missing from the case.  Should I be worried about the book being tampered with?  Why would he have so many books with the same problem with the slab?

Hey, Semper Fi is a great seller, (have done a few deals with him, look him up on IG).. I remember seeing his post about this a while ago, when he got them the box was damaged on the way to him with like a dozen slabs all cracked at the bottom.  It doesn't effect the book, but generally sellers offer discounts to make up the cost of getting it reslabbed… 

I’ve never really considered buying restored books (hard to move in a funds emergency)... but damn these are tempting!  😍

Yeah, 1900-2000 seems to be the average, have seen a couple 9.8s go for a bit less in FB groups.  I just think it’s a bad time for this book tbh, the comic series ended, and the TV show is pretty much over (i hear anyway, I stopped watching it years ago)... I think it will need another shot in the arm to maintain this price level, let alone pump it up anymore in value... will be interesting to see what happens with this franchise.  Good luck with your sale!

Great books!  I want that AF 15... but am a tad short. 😰

.. and here I thought I just initially misread the title

Has this been shown yet? 

Not in this thread, but yeah, he said he did 10 exclusives for this issue, 4 on his site, 1 on comicxposure, 1 one ssalefishcomics and not sure where the other 4 ended up.. 

What is the current time from receiving he books before they are even processed into the system?  CGC received some pretty high value books from me (standard grading tier) nearly two weeks ago and they haven’t even been logged in as ‘received’ yet... normally I see this taking around 5 business days, but starting to get concerned.. 🙁

I’ve been on the fence for WWBN 32 for a couple of decades now, lol.  I almost bought a few copies in the 90s, but ended up going elsewhere with the collection (hindsight, eh?)... but better late to the club than never getting in, finally happy to be able to put one in the safe..

I don't disagree. GSX1 is a great book, and I don't think anyone is debating that...and it's certainly not the only one exploding. However, I've noticed the mid-grades for this book making particularly large jumps in "value" over the past month. We're talking 50% jump in 30 days folks...without new news driving it. BUT....GET IT WHILE YOU CAN FOLKS!! ONLY 8,000 COPIES, and counting, TO GO AROUND!!

 

 

That's what I said... this explosion began with the low/mid grades, it wasn't until they started jumping that the 9+'s started moving upwards, and the 9.8 is still pretty steady.. Books generally explode from the top and work their way down, so this GSX craze just seems strange to me.  (the way the rise began is crazy, not that the book is finally getting some love)

"Herd mentality, mob mentality and pack mentality, also lesser known as gang mentality, describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis. When individuals are affected by mob mentality, they may make different decisions than they would have individually." - look it up.  I think this applies to GSX1. IMO

People are in FOMO mode right now which is driving crazy prices... Odd that the 9.8 hasn't really fluctuated much, when 181 skyrocketed it began with the 9.8 which caused others to have to buy the best copy they could afford, so slowly the price jump filtered down to the mid and low grades...   This GSX craze seems be the opposite, seems to have started with the low/mid grade affordable copies which have slowly bumped up the 9s... Just based off what I've seen, sellers are creating the hype (it started a few months ago), and I'd agree the pack mentality and FOMO took over.  

But with all that being said, this has been a very undervalued book for a long time, so glad to see it finally getting some love. I don't think it'll reach Hulk 181 levels, none of the introduced characters in the book have the following Wolverine has, can a one decent character (storm), a few subpar characters (all the other ones) but the beginning of the new X-Men era compete with wolverine?  Will be interesting to see what happens

I'll take these:

asm 4 cgc 9.8 ss (2) Variant $200.00

asm 4 cgc 9.8 ss (3) Sketch $225.00

asm 4 cgc 9.8 ss Negative $250.00

 

Blah, bummed I missed out on this, have been looking for the regular color variant for a while in a 9.8, haha, congrats

well that didn't last long!

… Next in line just in case the current deal falls thru,  

.. The dream... 

I'd say 5.0, but not entirely sure how that tear or the tape will factor in... still think it's better than the fair/good description you bought it at!

Concur with the 3.0... a press could get rid of that little spine roll and straighten a few things out to make it look like a nicer 3.0, but still a 3.0.

I didn't take time to look up the GPA... but damn that just seems like a steal... congrats to both parties!

1.5 imo
