Everyone was talking about the 8.0 sale - but the 4.0 sale was actually fairly strong given the book was not particularly remarkable (OW pages, chipping, a bit of the common miswrap).    It went for $42k - most recent 4.0 sales were $37.5k (Dec), $32k (Nov), $31.2k (Nov), $36k (Oct), $41.4k (Sept), $38.4k (Sep), $39k (Aug)

That's what a good ole 1st generation label bump does.  Potential to get a higher grade if pressed or re-graded and likely better PQ.

Listed mine (CGC 6.5 off-white pages and great looking for the grade) for sale over at Comic Link

I think your asking price is overly optimistic given the results of the past months but I wish you good luck in the sale.

People had said here (when I posted images of it a few years back) my 6.5 looks like a candidate for a 7.0 I just never wanted to send it back to CGC to risky I was OK with it the way it is. But it is a strong looking 6.5 compared to many I have seen over the years hence why I purchased it.

Definitely much much better than this CGC 6.5 graded copy with all of the fugly Marvel chipping which the graders tend to ignore:  doh!  :p

Those are not for sale. I have a decent run I collect 1-100 mostly. And no I don't own the magical #27.

Not to turn this into a Tec thread, but I only own Tec 26 at this point.  I figured 26 was 1 better than 27.... Unfortunately auction houses feel differently.   I love those pre-batman Tecs. They've just gotten really pricey. 

Of course those early post Batman Tecs aren't exactly $1 bin books. 

For AF15, I have a lowly .5 that is missing it's back cover.  Some day, when the opportunity is right, I'll try to upgrade.

Another thing is I always buy the CGC graders notes before a big purchase and the one for my AF15 look very good as well. I have to find it I have it someone in my documents. If I had seen anything of concern I would not have purchased my book.

Notes are free now, so even if you lost them, you can recover them.

Here are the graders notes for my AF15 CGC 6.5:

Like they say..................................a picture is worth a thousand words, or in this case, a mere 18 words.  lol  :luhv:

Clearly, so much much better from a strict visual POV as compared to that Marvel chipped CGC 6.5 graded copy up above.  :applause:

The king of the hill! .  to say my copy is 1 of the nicest 4.5's I've seen is an understatement (IMO).  I've had many chances over the years to upgrade but never felt the need as this book is visually just as nice as some of the ones 2 or more points higher!

I feel that way about my 5.0.  I'm not saying it's the absolute nicest 5.0, given its page quality, but I don't recall seeing any 5.0s that are this nice structurally.  It's free of Marvel chipping and lacks any of the other major defects commonly seen in the grade.

absolutely, and a fraction of the cost of a higher graded copy (which may or may not look as nice)

This AF15 CGC 6.5 ends in a few days over at CC so far at 74k:

https://www.comicconnect.com/item/992325

Actually, this CC copy here appears to be visually superior and sharp relative to its assigned CGC 6.5 grade:  :luhv:

I am surprised the consignor didn't asked it to be verified for one of those stickers as that might have given it an extra bid or two.  hm  (shrug)
