New Mutant 98 CGC 10 Gem Mint

[Bronty]

One just closed out at $3650.

 

The saga of Boston Corbett. His sage wisdom and economic teachings echo through my mind like the dulcet tones of an angelic chorus. True genius is not appreciated in its own time.

 

Luckily, dumbassery is "appreciated" the moment it is spoken. What a legendary tool that guy was. Every time his name is spoken I can't help but smile

[Bronty]

^ it makes me want to start an endless stream of NM 98 threads ... Just to increase the chances of Boston Corbett discussion

[Bronty]

There has got to be a board member somewhere in one of his classes... Dear god pls raise your hand and ask about the application of economics theory to sharp decrease in NM98 9.9 prices

[chrisco37]

Yep. That guy came on here and really showed us.

He owes like a couple of kegs of beer to the other 9.9 owners. I wonder if he has any interest in buying the 10.0? Wouldn't that make an epic thread?

[Bronty]

my head would snap.

[DBOi]

maybe he can hoard the other eight 9.9s and buy the 10.0 so if anyone was desperate enough for a 9.9 he'd be able to dictate the asking price.

That sounds like an experiment he may actually consider, with a supply and demand business case to validate the expense.

But if he was REALLY dedicated to his theory, he'd buy up all the 9.9's and destroy all but one. That would exponentially increase the value of the one that survived......

 

 

......theoretically.

Edit: I realize I may be pooping on someones sale or future book here so I will delete my comments

Don't tease like that. It would be must see TV. A thread that would be so riveting, I wouldn't take my eyes off the screen, and wear down my mouse and fingers from hitting the refresh button. The world would stop moving for that time. C'mon Boston... make my month.

I hope he sends you scans, discusses it at length with you.....then sells it to someone else

Is it just me, or is there an ever-so-slight abrasion (or impact) in the upper spin corner?

 

Also, for a 10 wouldn't the binding need to be perfectly centered?

Steve Borock clarified a long time back the CGC standard for a 10.0 is not the best printed book ever created. It is the best example they have graded, which can have less than White Pages as well. Hence, the Wolverine 1 Limited Series CGC 10.0 with Off-White to White Pages.

So wouldn't the first time they grade a particular book merit a 10

Interesting, thanks for clarifying.

 

Frankly, as a collector I would find a 9.9 or even a 9.8 with nice White pages to be more aesthetically pleasing than a 10 OWW.

That would have matched his statement. But no such luck.
