Here is my admission to the club! Avengers #4 is next on the list...

 

This is a 2.5 and I tend to prefer higher grade books but the overall look of this book in person is quite nice and I got it for a great price (the lowest recorded in recent times for a an Avengers 2.5 CGC book on Heritage Auctions)

Well done and great purchase price. :headbang:

did you mean a 9.0 sold in 2006? because I don't see a 9.6.

 

What got me to notice was the Boston Pedigree with a high cert# that looks like it was certified recently so I did a little research.

 

It is a crack, press and resub...I am surprised there aren't more outcry from others...maybe not yet ;)

Looking at that book I'm surprised that it would have received a 9.0 in the first place. Corners look really nice to me.

I owned this copy for awhile. I'm not sure this is the same as the 9.0 or if there were mutliples. I know the Boston 9.0 that I owned was straight resubbed for a 9.2. If it was pressed and became a 9.4, guess who left $20k on the table?

 

When you ask why people press, you've got a $20,000 answer right there.

Sorry to hear it was your former copy as a 9.0. It got an upgrade and still has it's pedigree status. I wonder if advance pressing technique will get it a 9.6 later. hm

Looks extremely sharp now...definitely should be more flat (pancaked).

I've been noticing on my own submissions that cgc has been leniant on (some)corner abrasions and strict on spine wear. So I guess if you can get those spine breaks out on a white cover you can get pretty good upgrades.

Yes, that's true. However, let me say that when I had it in hand, I did not think that the book should have been graded anything but a 9.0

My #4. Best comic purchase I ever made.

That has got to be the best looking comic I have ever seen- super stunning. Same goes for the Av#1 CGC 9.4. You got some good retirement $ there.

Easily a $100K issue. The demand is just starting to pick up on this-i see no end in sight. Forget Showcase 22 (Green Lantern) this is the real symbol of America.
