First Bronze Age Book to crack $100K

[Korvac Saga]

Didn't see a thread on this yet, but apparently that famous Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.9 sold on Clink for $150,000. That would make it the first bronze age book to crack $100,000.

Do 9.9s and 10.0s really count? They seem... artificial or commercial.

[Gatsby77]

I take it was a Hulk 181, CGC 9.9?

Yes, it was. Typing too fast + not proofreading!

Please, PGX labeling carries less weight than air.

You take a book, say a 9.4, and weave some modern day magic to change it in to a 9.9 or 10.

 

I've heard it's possible but it might just be a vicious rumour started by rabid intellectuals.

That's because you are a rabid intellectual.

It's been my experience that pressing doesn't really produce a 9.9 or 10.0. All the 9.9s I received were for books that had not been pressed

 

Furthermore, I wasn't alluding to them being pressed, but to the idea that 9.9 and 10.0 were really artificially assigned grades as it is almost impossible to distinguish a 9.9 from a very nice 9.8.
