I've always wondered about what people are thinking when they submit stuff like this.

[ubiquiti]

they must just think..."Well - it's old, so it must be worth tons of money"

THat is the only rational thought I could imagine anyone having for soemthing like that.

What I can't believe is that someone is willing to pay $20 for this POS.

[Bonds25]

- me too. My guess is they can't grade worth [!@#%^&^]. There used to be a seller on Ebay who sold nothing but [!@#%^&^] like this. And it wasn't even good stuff. It was comics like Superman #426 in CGC 3.5, Iron Man #122 in CGC 4.5, Archie #369 in CGC 2.0, etc. LMAO

Avengers 197 in 5.5?

..

Imagine the look on that person's face when they got their "gems" back!

The high bidder is a coinee....

'nuff said.

This book is truly a laugh This is a relist! I can't believe someone would submit a 2.0

[EggsAckley]

It must be the rare 25 cent variant.

[EggsAckley]

It is so rare that it is likely there will never be another one in the same grade.

I just checked the census and this is the ONLY CGC 2.0 in existence, so it must have value. But wait! There is also a single Poor 0.5 in the census!

[blowout]

Sellers says "Don't miss this hard to find X-Men book"

 

It sure is hard to find in this bad a shape.

Best bet to find some more like this is to search around a few dustbins out back of comic shops, or in boxes labelled 'Pieces Of S$$t' at cons.

The book graded 0.5 Poor is mine. I am putting it up on eBay next week...any takers?

[ninanina]

I'd like a CGC graded .05 in my collection, but it has to be auctioned just right.

No minimum, no competition, no freight, no cracked case, no reserve. Don't particularly care which comic it is. So, yeah under the right conditions, I may go for it.

[PovertyRow]

Hey - notice I made no derogatory comment or value judgement on it. Just said there was a lower one than the 2.0!

[vic6string]

It gets worse than this.. I was bored one day and started looking for the dumbest submission I could find. Check the census, there is actually a 5.5 copy of Hulk 2099 # 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to see that go on auction!

[Guest]

I think people buy books like this to have a CGC example of that particular grade. Not a bad book to have for that grade....beats the heck out of Hulk 2099 #2!

[Guest]

There is a captian america #2 cgc 0.5 on ebay now.....dont have the link....but i guess that sort of item is acceptable

[seank]

Captain America #2 in CGC 0.5

 

And it's up to $450 as of this post!

Several people here are aware that I buy a bunch of POS CGC books to make grading sets for customers, typically paying around $12-15 including shipping. For customers who are trying to learn to grade, the opportunity to have slabbed copies for comparison is valuable.

 

I have put together type sets (2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 9.4 plus a grade or two in between) for six customers so far and am working on a seventh.

 

But, to make it clear, there is NO way I would ever submit books like this. That's just nuts. But I will happily pay $10 for a CGC 4.0 copy of a book that guides at $10 in NM, because I am buying the slab not the book.

Lousy CGC shill. No wonder you only show your face around here once every three weeks now!
