Would someone please help me understand why this raw copy is going for so much on ebay.  It's got very obvious resto in the lower right corner.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Spider-Man-1-3-63-Silver-Age-Marvel-Comics-1st-J-JONAH-JAMESON-Stan-Lee/152886319037?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

This ended up going for $7680 :whatthe: :facepalm: 

With that restored corner the best I see this grading at is around what?.... a Purple 4.0?

If they take the corner off to get a blue label that would make it about a 3.0 Blue.

Why are they paying so much for this???????

Thank you that settles that a resounding NO. xD 

I would say yes if you can't fill the hole with a 1963 copy or afford one.

This book continues to pick up steam. The 8.0 on CL sold last night for $34555.00, 3K above the GPA high (there may be non recorded GPA that I'm not aware of).

 

Thats a LOT of money for a :cloud9: book. I am really happy that this book is getting the love it deserves.

Again, it's worth noting that this is a copy with White pages, fresh looking and free of any visible defects. Don't know how the back cover looks.

Hey all!

Just paid this one off -- a small piece out of the back cover lowers the grade, but the front is 8.5 or so.  Thanks for looking!

Interesting results on the  ASM #1s on Comiclink.......a 4.5 with great eye appeal sells for $11,450 while a 5.0 with some more obvious cover flaws sells for $7700.

 

 

Indeed. Have two books ever looked so different though! Makes a mockery of the grading in a way, when you put them side by side:

Eye appeal is where it's at nowadays (:

I'm sure something is going on with the back cover on the 4.5

One of the reasons why back cover scans should always be shown. Over $10k book, and we can't see it!

Maybe it doesn't have one :nyah:
