Hearing about the new 9.6 made me want to check out the latest census numbers.

 

And I thought it would be an interesting a thread re-railment attempt. So here are some looks at the of AF #15 census from the last 5 years. Quite a bit of shuffling towards the top end. (With props to CGC Census Analysis.)

 

In August 2011, there were 14 AF #15s in 9.0 or better. In August 2016, there are 19 AF #15s in 9.0 or better. Unless my math fails me, that's less than one new killer copy per year, at least books that made it to CGC.

Thanks for posting those census data, Barton. It's clear that to flip a high grade AF15 for profit, buying an ungraded copy and submitting it is rarely if ever possible going forward, and the incentive for manipulation is stronger than ever.

 

That said, the comic is doing remarkably well in terms of value for those willing to leave their copies alone, too.

I'm not sure why the CGCdata.com website is different than CGC's census. Maybe it's one of those hybrid label books - restored and signed?

One would hope so. If someone had a 9.6 blue label signed they should be jailed.

Nothing much. Carry on with AF15 talk.

 

If memory serves, there are at least 2 CBCS 9.6 restored copies. One is currently listed on HighGradeComics.
