Yup, been saying it for years ever since AS 8 started hitting those record prices several years ago that it was way overpriced and that the book will go back down to earth someday. Kinda reminded me of MF #73. The problem was solely because AS #8 is and was widely available for sale in multiple venues (auction houses, comic conventions, private sales, etc.) and no WW on the cover which really was a turn off for me. Also the book shot up way too fast, unlike Sensation 1 and WW 1 which in my opinion have had steadier growth. Here are some examples I recorded on past sales during its height:
CGC 1.5 Brittle - $15,700 (2017)
CBCS 1.5 - $21,250 (2017)
CBCS 1.8 - $27,500 (2016)
CGC 2.0 - $31,000 (2016)
CGC 4.0 -$53,775 (2017)
CGC 4.5 $49,400 (2017)
CGC 5.0 $58,000 (2017)
CGC 5.5 - $83,900 (2017)
CGC 9.0 - $411,000 (2016)
Seems that current FMV of lower to mid grade is around half of what I posted above. To those who want a copy in your collection, I think now is the time to buy
