Yeah, pretty ridiculous if you ask me... The seller made out like a bandit with this transaction that's for sure, like taking candy from a baby. I really want to know the thought process of the bidders as to why they think this is worth over a grand. I still can't wrap my head around it.. Maybe they are paying for the CGC label because it says "Action Comics #1 from 1938?"
Speaking of CGC, they should really stop slabbing ridiculous things like this, it just lowers their standards. It seems like a lot of people are joking around about it like we are now on this board and it comes off as a bad look for CGC in my opinion. Heck, they don't even have the proper case size for something this small, all that dead space in there... I guess if there is potentially $ to be made, why not? Things like this should automatically be rejected for grading and encasing. Will we see vintage staples being graded next now?
