Um, Amazing Spider-Man #347 CGC 9.8?  

ParadiseComic's copy has 44 bids and 52 watchers. I go and show the lowest to highest and I see ParadiseComic's copy at the lowest basically verifying that you can't really find it cheaper than $83.. WTF is happening here?  :ohnoez:

Huh? It has always been a desireable cover but there are copies under $20 on ebay before shipping that look decent.

I see quite a few past sales for well over $100 so if people are starting to be desperate enough to put CGC 9.8s up for auction I can see why it's getting a lot of action (especially if it's only going for $83 in CGC 9.8).  Prices for slabbing are way up and CGC seems to still be strict so I'd not expect a $50 copy to pop up any time soon.

@valiantman

Is it possible for me on your site to generate a list of the top All-Time 9.8's?  If not Please post the data for the top 50 - thanks

 

What is considered a "top all-time 9.8"?  If it's based on sale prices, my site doesn't have any dollar amounts, just CGC census data.

No way - I can't let this once great thread slip to the 2nd page.  I can't think of anything even close to hot in the copper age books but nobody puts baby in the corner!

Dave Stevens covers and Rocketeer books seem to be doing well at the moment. That’s mostly Copper…

I'll say! I bought a lot of 30 or so of his covers in 2019. Those same books are worth close to triple what I paid then, when looking them up on an individual basis. And a few of his covers like the Planet Comics and Space Vixens issues are much higher now than a few years ago. Well deserved for a great artist who was not with us long enough.

Meant books with highest/most 9.8 pop counts

It's probably Spider-man 1 (Silver Edition); almost 11K. X-Men 1 is close, but the census doesn't differentiate between the 4 connecting covers.

Spawn #1 is highest on CGC 9.8 population, but Spider-Man #1 Silver is near the top (third).

^ Thanks man. Is the listing only attainable via the API?

Happy to report I own none of the top6 :)

I just went to this page, copied the top couple hundred books into Excel and sorted by the CGC 9.8 column. http://www.cgcdata.com/cgc/cgctop/

It's crazy that in the top 50 books submitted, there's 1 indy (Spawn), 3 DC (Killing Joke, Omega Men 3 & Batman Adventures 12), and the other 46 are all Marvel.

Alien Legion 1 just popped. About time someone made this into a movie - it is a great book, very highly recommended.

This is a book I’ve made a point to grab out of the dollar box when I saw it.  I don’t have a huge number, but I probably have 6-7 copies.

My friends and I loved this book when it came out.  The crazy thing was that it had a $2 cover price in 1984, when a regular comic was 60 cents.  So I always got a kick buying it out of a dollar box after 35+ years of inflation.
