Going to have to disagree on that, and it certainly would not be a $1,000 hit. That book looks just as bright as any I've seen. Plus books with "CR/OW" on the label routinely set new "GPA highs" all the time. I'm betting that missing paper on the right hand side, which directly impacts eye appeal, had more people questioning if it was a legitimate 8.0 than anything else. Still a very good deal for the buyer. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaydogrules Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 C/OW for SA Marvels = death knell. Except when they're setting GPA highs. Show me any Marvel SA mega key and I will show you comparable sales across most, if not all grades with little to no differences in price based on the "PQ" on the label. Marvel chipping is another story, but too many collectors take the "PQ" on the label with a grain of salt for it to actually and consistently affect prices. (thumbs u -J.

jaja-mon12 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) C/OW for SA Marvels = death knell. Sometimes I will give in depending on the grade & rarity of the mega key issue. If it was a CGC 9.0, I most likely would have bid on it. (thumbs u An 8.0 on the other hand is more commonplace and therefore is not as a necessity to me. Also, I am more inclined to accept CR or CR/OW pages for primarily GA books. (thumbs u Edited August 4, 2014 by jaja-mon12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It would certainly be a surprise to the major dealers that I know to find out that page quality doesn't significantly impact sale prices on SA Marvel keys. The ones I talk with about consigning books for sale all want to know what the page quality is before estimating what they expect to be able to sell them for. It seems to matter to their customer base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might be willing to pay a "premium" for a certain "PQ" on the label, some buy the book and not the label. The lack of consistency and the loosey-goosey nature in CGC's "PQ grading" is ultimately the great equalizer in price when spread across enough sales. -J.

Marvel chipping does seem to hit books rather consistently on price regardless of the book, as it does directly impact eye appeal, unlike "PQ" which is unseen and notoriously inconsistent even upon resubs of the same book. The lower the grade, the less impact chipping seems to have on overall price. But again, the hotter, rarer, bigger the book, the more buyers you'll have and it only takes one of them to pull the trigger. (thumbs u -J.
