So I should not buy an ASM #1 unless it s a CGC 9.0 or Higher?

 

If I could I would.

 

 

IMO=HG as whole is dictated by the scarity or availability of the book, hence most BA need to be 9.4 and copper to now must be at 9.6/9.8 for me even to care.

 

I can find HG ASM 129 and Hulk 181 all day whether it's graded or raw.

 

ASM #1 in 9.0 or higher, not so much.

Only problem with that scenario is, when the time to sell comes along, you are limiting yourself to how many buyers would be able to afford it.

 

With 9.4s or better, you will have a much easier time unloading them to a bigger audience.

 

But again, I am speaking as an accumulator and not a collector :)

 

Very true. But in Johns case his best scenario I would assume may get him a 7.0 AF15. Which sell easily on the Link.

 

His copy, which he posted in 3 different threads recently and is now taken down, was maybe a 1.8? Hard to say from memory.

 

He's keeping that rag? I will have to talk to him..

 

It got graded out at an CGC 2.0 Blue Label.

 

Would have been a 3.0 if the cover wasn't partially coming detached.

 

 

You no longer have any credentials in the HG snobbery.

 

I know it is your grail, and congrats. Now sell that thing, and the rest of books worth something and buy a decent copy.

 

And that book got a key bump (thumbs u

 

 

It is for sale.

No scarcity has nothing to due with it. That is just a book that is available in limited grades.

 

Is there a Action 1 above 8.0? Yes

Is Action 1 6.0 HG? No.

Are there AF15's above 8.0? Yes

Is AF15 in a 6.0 HG? No

 

It doesnt matter. If a book is not available in a grade above 7.0 then there are NO HG copies available. And the 7.0 would be the Highest Graded.

 

And I will give you $10.00 for the AF15 (thumbs u

I would disagree as I am not here to impress anyone.

 

 

That wasn't an attempt to impress anyone, Friend-o. I've seen many people post pics of their favorite books here and I thought Green would like to see it. My apologies to anyone who thinks I was showing off...SA collectors only. ;)

 

 

 

Its true. In my shortbox. Lmk if you ever want to downgrade :baiting:

Find me a Hulk 181 CGC 9.4 with White pages :baiting:

 

Just because it's easy to find doesn't make it a cheap book. :hi:

Didn't notice this post until now.

 

You guys are taking my post entirely too literally and personally. It is a very nice book. There's no doubt about that and anyone would be proud to have it in their collection if that is what they like. However, a 7.0 Silver Age key still isn't high grade.

 

Therefore, leading to my comment, I would rather have several high grade Bronze Avengers non-keys as one mid grade Silver Age key. Nothing more than a matter of personal taste. Brunettes over blonds kind of thing.

Because I do not agree with your statement. I believe HG is HG and that is that. Scarcity has nothing at all to do with this. There is HG, and there are other books that are NOT HG. It is not subjective, or relative to highest graded copies, etc..

This is why I think that way.

 

If I were to only what is HG by your defintion then it would only start at 9.2.

 

The reason I feel HG depends on the availability of the comic is because I can look at a Action #1 CGC 6.0 as HG where as a DD #158 9.2 as not.

 

I get your point of course, but I just see it from both opinions.

 

For example nothing from 1980's to now is considered HG by me unless its a 9.6 or better, but a TMNT #1 in 9.0 I would consider HG.

A HG book is not strictly a NM book. I still say youre thinking is flawed. A 9.2 is HG. A 6.0 is not.

Remeber these all opinions. :baiting:

 

Yes but you would by definition be a NM collector not a HG collector. HG is just a really nice book, it doesnt have to be mint. The hobby decides what a HG collector is. And realistically a VF or up is HG. While a copper in 9.2 is not considered HG to some, it is still a NM- book. Which by definition is HG.

I know alot of collectors will consider VF+ from the silver age to be HG.

 

Here is mine:

 

 

1960-1965 HG= VF+

 

1966-1970 HG= 9.2

I do not believe in timeframe grading. But I understand what you are saying. I would not want an average copper book in 9.4, but that is just from availability. The book is still HG but I know I can get a nicer copy.
