I thought I paid high dollar for my 9.8 White pages:

$515

Not many white pagers I've noticed. I was going to nab that under $350 to compare against my 9.8W. What did you get yours for? I paid $395 2 years ago.

A 9.8 copy of that book once sold for over $760 back in the early days of CGC.

Figures in this range for perfect QP and PQ don't surprise me, but what surprises me about this one is that I don't even think the QP is all that great. It's hard to tell from the postage stamp-sized scans, but it looks like there's a slight crooked miswrap at the bottom-left.

I saw one go for $1,200.00 back in 2001. NM+ 9.8 WHITE.

$415... I think.?? Looks like I made a good deal, I would post a scan, but the system always tells me my scans are to big??? I have also noticed that there are about 10 ow/w to every 1 w. maybe even more. Its books like these that makes the CGC census need for page quality to be incorporated into its numbers.

Quite imPRESSive

I seriously doubt if that PPSSM NM+ 9.8 was PRESSED. I have a hard time imagining anyone pressing Modern books. Maybe I al still living in my Neanderathal world and need to get a clue...

I doubt anyone was pressing books like that back in 2001, but Modern books are certainly fair game today. For example, I don't think there's any doubt that the DD #168 CGC 9.8 that Jason Ewert auctioned off recently was pressed - new books fresh off the newsstand don't look that perfectly sharp and flat, let alone a book from over 20 years ago. Now there are some who will say it's uneconomic to press a book unless it's over a grand, but I have to figure that by now every major dealer and his brother has a press in their basement and that books don't have to be sent out to a resto expert anymore (plus, I bet they could get a volume discount from those people anyway - press 10 GA/SA books, get a Modern book pressed for free! )

 

Those people (not saying who they are) who may have recently purchased a press on eBay themselves need not respond to refute this post.

I'm curious what people mean specifically when they discuss pressing. Is this simply putting a book in a dry book press for a month or so or using some kind of steam press? I wouldnt worry about the book press, but if there is steam or disassembly involved that seems to be a problem. Can someone clarify?

[sburn_z]

Can someone clarify?

 

please?

I also wish to add that at the time these books first started to realize those crazy prices the cgc census hadnt come out yet or had just been out a few months. What would a white pager sell for today I wonder?

Not steam. Comics + Water =
