How is this a 9.2?

[Boozad]

Batman 227 is not a hard book to find.

 

It isn't hard to find a copy, that's true, but graded copies in 9.0 and above are not that common (71 in total between CGC 9.0 and CGC 9.8) in comparison to, say, #232 (292 in total between CGC 9.0 and CGC 9.8), or #251 (153 between CGC 9.0 and CGC 9.8).

 

I couldn't be arsed to look at any more books, but I've always found the relatively low census numbers on this book in the NM range interesting.

The books I focus on are ones with Adams interior art.

 

Buying a book just for an Adams cover isn't a major priority for me at present, although I'm sure I will get a 227 eventually.

I like the white pages. I got a response from them. They didn't quote an actual price, but hinted at $700 being the going rate for one in this grade and was willing to field offers. Thinking about it, but I'm not sure I can raise the funds quickly enough for it.

 

The last sale on GPA of a 9.2 was $457 in 2010...

 

The last sale of a 9.4 was $1,100 in June 2011...

 

Last sale of an 8.5 was $350 in May 2011....

 

I think asking $700 is a bit high but I could be wrong.

 

i paid $575 for my 227 here from FK. GPA is not the end all

 

What grade was it?

I'm certain that supa's purchase from FK was a 9.2. PQ was either ow or ow/w pages.
