It's probably the same 9.6 that was pressed into a 9.8.

 

Why would anybody pay $7K for a 9.6 (30X guide) unless they were sure it would get a 9.8?

 

Inquiring minds want to know because frankly it makes no sense.

 

Boy, I wish there were archival scans of these great books selling in Comiclink auctions. Wouldn't it be amazing to see so many 9.2's turning into 9.4's, 9.4's turning into 9.6's and 9.6's turning into 9.8's. And of course they are all consignor books lol. I'd almost say that Comiclink has taken Heritage's business model to the next level except that with Heritage you could actually see the game.

 

 

But solely from scans, how would you know it would get a 9.8 once pressed?

 

It's a hell of a risk to take. Unless... hm

 

I guess anything is possible but I know that 9.6 book real well.

 

But how would you get to know a book real well if it's in an auction (shrug)

Wolverine 1 9.9

 

This book has already hit crazyland. At 1700, it is already 300.00 ahead of the last one sold. The amazing thing is there are like a dozen 9.9 and one 10.0. I guess this book was one of those that everyone bought 6 copies, bagged, and put away for 20 years.

Well, the new Avengers #57 9.8 is obviously not the same book as the one that just sold for $7000+ so I guess we can put that conspiracy to rest. Love the date stamp or hate it this is one killer book.

Lucky you, sad to see you might have left more of Nik's money on the table.

 

Ouch. Wow...where did that come from Bob?

 

Do you have a chip on your shoulder? Is there something you want to talk about?
