That's what I thought. I don't understand how they get away with these scams. Obviously noone's buying, but he's pitching a fake version. So should be illegal or just against Ebay guidelines.

Anyone who is spending that kind of money on a book will do their research first and figure out the authentic copies from the fake or reprinted ones.

I highly doubt the book will sell

And here's the answer 

100% fake. Very easy to spot

Book is getting graded.  I guess we shall find out soon.

Funny how the PQ got better overtime too .  This absolutely proves once again (to all the naysayers) that PQ can change for better or worse if that same book is re-graded or in this instance, re-holdered.  It's all based on opinion I guess.

They were generally tougher on PQ for old label grades.

That's true as well for the 1st gen labels, but I have resubmitted books in newer labels just a few months apart to get pressed, and the PQ changed from white to offwhite-white and another from cream-offwhite to offwhite.

Absolutely a gorgeous 8.5 copy.  Between the two 8.5 copies, this I think is the better looking one.  Love the colors and white colored covers with no tanning.  So if this book was just re-holdered, why did the PQ change from offwhite-white to white?  I thought if a book is re-holdered, nothing is changed from the old label.

I don’t know if anyone’s heard about this, at least I think I saw it correctly on CGC’s instagram page. They just graded a brand new action 1 and it’s an 8.5 with white pages! Was this an upgrade or an undiscovered copy?!

Not sure how this was freshly graded.  The book was graded in 2017.  I'm guessing it was just simply re-holdered?

Incredible feat and accomplishment, well done!  Now I know why you are Mr. RareHighGrade!

I saw what the Punch #12 just got, as I don't have the history with that book like the Mask books, but it seemed to do just fine...  

The CGC 5.5 sold for higher at CC last year I believe for $70k+. The brittle paged copy 4.5 i believe sold less than what it did last time it sold.

Yep that was one of the big surprises. 25k, 30 maybe. But 50k,  gee whiz.

Was shocked too at that price. I believe my max bid was around $23k. When I saw the final hammer price I was just  

I had the Cap 1 CGC 3.0 valued at $120k max. Book sold aggressively considering there is tape in the interior pages. And you know how tape does overtime affecting the pages... 

A dealer at last year's SDCC sold a DD #1 CGC 9.8 for something like $800k. Whoever paid that price took a bath too big time!

Yup!  I expected to go for at least $100k

cheapskate

Couldn't find that last dollar off my couch 

Beautiful copy Prof X. Looks way better than the assigned grade.  I didn't check the notes on it yet but my guess is possibly some staining somewhere. Yeah the gold label does seem to kinda stain the cover of the book. Tough to find pure white covered copies.  Most are yellowed/tanned from what I can see.  Congrats with the nice pickup!

Very nice. My boxes are lime and I prefer that but honestly I never thought about it until you said something. It doesn't seem to affect the other colors right? Maybe one of the greens is actually a 1st print.........no no just joking , just joking. 

Thanks man!  Yeah I was picky about buying my copies.  I wanted to make sure there is no marvel chipping, no yellowing or tanning on the covers, no writing, etc. Yeah, I don't think colors are affected whether it's a lime green or dark green colored box.  It's possible that one of the greens is a 1st print, but I guess no one can prove which one or if it really is true.  So, why not just own both variations 

I'll be there tomorrow only

No bids for the Flash Comics Ashcan book. Like the first time around, looks like it will remain unsold

I think it's valued between $200k-$250k. I'd be shocked if it went for more.  If I had the money, i wouldn't want to pay that price for a GSX #1. There might be more 9.9's coming out sooner rather than later and will definitely decrease the value of the first 9.9 that was graded.  Too much of a gamble, but to each their own.

I know I'm only 12 but I couldn't help but notice something.

Starting March 7, in your "final post here".

Loved every minute of both episodes thus far. 10/10!!! Greatest thing Marvel has done in quite sometime! Can't wait for episode 3 tomorrow!

I feel that with the new label notes for Supes #1, first printing might get a slight premium in value while second and third might remain the same value as how it is. 

For me personally, yeah it's cool if I owned a first print, but I wouldn't mind if I had say a second or third print...
