Can someone clarify something for me: was tracking the TAR 41 because I have one. Blown away by price it got, but when I went to see data some things didn't seem jive. This grade doesn't appear when I search CGC census, the slab #comes back null, so what's going on? Can't imagine a fake 1.5 slab? Huh? ???

Many collectors have experience this census glitch. The verification number not registered on the database.

Yep, that was my guess too. The public-facing verification feature is fairly recent, but CGC’s records stretch back 20+ years and were presumably input by lots and lots of different staffers. Those facts probably don’t play well with each other.

Seen it on older slabs for sure, Also can be a delay on new ones (shrug)

That was one thought I had - it was slabbed and sent directly to Heritage for the auction so no time to show up . . . except Heritage shows it in their census bar . . .

Yeah, it’s legit. Recently graded and for some reason it seems there has been a delay adding items to the census lately.

They sold one last August for $720, and I thought that was high.  $1500 for the Cinderella Tiny Tales book also surprised me.  I have extras on both if anyone's looking.

Thanks for posting these. Wow, that Cinderella Love 29 and Crown 7 (two of my favorites) went crazy. I bought these for peanuts (by todays standards) a few years ago just because I loved them so much. I am a bit astounded but so happy I grabbed them and hung on to them…

Well, you really shouldn't have been THAT surprised by the Cinderella Love 29 going so high since it was the one and only featured promo cover book for this latest Matt Baker Showcase Auction.  (thumbsu
