Didn't a higher grade version of this book just recently sell for crazy money as well?

Not sure. There's a $1400 sale in 9.4 in GPA. Could be what you are refering to. Avengers books are just going stratospheric right now.

'Bout time.That 25 has one STRONG COVER.I remember back in the 60's how outstanding that title was.Rascally Roy was really cutting his teeth on that title.My first one was # 56..."Death be not Proud."That $700 bid may be the result of two snipe-proof bids colliding.I must admit that I've lost a dozen auctions for that book.Foolkiller listed a nice one a couple years ago while I was taking a bathroom break and missed out yet again.What a drag.GOD BLESS...

It's an absolutely classic cover: artist, inks, layout and colour.

 

However, this copy does have a cover miswrap. I don't know if this is true or not, but I always wondered if the white of the back cover showing on the spine does a good job of masking any stress lines that might otherwise drop the grade significantly?

That's a forumite selling that - looks like he knows where to go for top dollar.

 

That is a really tough book to find in HG.

OK, is it just me or this price completely INSANE :screwy:

Avengers 25

$731 for a 9.2 Avengers 25 is triple the highest GPA price... TRIPLE. I know it's a cool cover and all but I thought the insanity was supposed to start at 9.6 not 9.2.

 

Your answer is within your question. You can't expect "insanity" to adhere to cultivated limits.

I'll back up Nik. I've been getting outbid badly on a lot of auctions lately. Must be tax return mania...

I look for copies with a very slight miswrap ( 1/32" or so) for that very reason.GOD BLESS..

When I was a kid, I always looked for the miswrap, because it hid the spinner rack damage.
