showcase22gr1959 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What copy is the 8.5 metropolis/CC one ? As far as I know the only 2 8.5s on the census are the one that Doc Joe has shown and the Nic Cage copy that sold through Heritage many years ago. Metropolis sold a 8.5 late last year. Comics trades hands everyday, so this copy may have been the Nic Cage copy Metro sold. They're different copies. Doc Joe and Metropolis copy are different because Doc Joe copy is not centered. My presumption is...maybe the recent 8.5 from Metropolis was a 8.0 which got bump to a 8.5. Also, maybe the Nic Cage copy was bumped to a 9.0. Anything is possible, unless we have good scans to verify this. Anybody has a good scan of the Nic Cage copy? Additions to the last post I made. When the books was bumped the lower grade was taken off the census (old label returned to CGC) and a higher grade is achieve. This is just a theory and again anything is possible.

peewee22 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Do you know the grades of the 23 & 24? Have not been graded yet. You mean the Mound copy is a cgc graded 8.0, or am I missing something here? Let me clarify: 1) The Mound #22 graded CGC 8.0 with C/OW PQ 2) The Mound #23 and #24 have not been graded by CGC yet. Are you kidding? This one´s a 8.0 and mine is a 7.5? Yep. Just down a couple of strong ones and start a new day tomorrow... Peewee, did you said the Mound copy is CGC 8.0? This will be the forth 8.0. If it is, the census has not been updated yet. there should be a 5th 8.0 added soon too You got the one you were after before, or a new one? until the deal is done, it is just a but I believe I am close What PQ? I gosta know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely the white page copy is ever so slightly more flexible than the ow/w....
