According to this Facebore commenting canine, the Yanks are cleaning up! :ohnoez:

Funny name for a dog, isn't it.

I wish I could say it was me cleaning up.  X-Men #6 may have been the last one I purchased.  The cat is out of the proverbial bag, it appears.

I wouldn't worry too much, Mec - I haven't cleaned up either and I live here. Or there, to you.

Too much time spent researching what exists, and not enough actually buying the bloody things. Well, Marvel anyway 9_9

Just wait until those Charltons pop though!

Now some sunshine to balance out the gray!  An Incredible Hulk #1 CGC 3.0 OW/W U.K. Price Variant sold for $19,375 earlier this month, followed few days later by a cents CGC 3.0 W that sold for $20,400, both on Heritage.   

Until the next one, how about a ray of sunshine from the history books!  IH#1 actually has some history of UKPVs outperforming cents versions in both lower and higher grades.  Back in Sept 2016, an IH#1 CGC 7.5 OW/W UKPV sold for $40K, higher than both the then-most-recent cents CGC 7.5 White-pager sale at $38K in May and the next cents CGC 7.5 OW sale at $37.5K in December 2016.  About a 5% premium over both cents books.  

And here's another from 2016.  In August 2016, a 2.5 UKPV sold for $7,269 when a cents 2.5 was between $5,600 (Oct 2015) and $6,400 (Mar 2017), the only cents CGC 2.5 sales around Aug2016.  That translated into a more significant premium for the UKPVs, about 20% on average.   

But then again, in that 2016 timeframe, a 7.0 UKPV didn't fare as well, so there's the inconsistency we expected in prior years.  Overall, interesting.

This was a pretty big disparity:

Right, I noted this a month ago here regarding some early ASMs, in connection w/ a FF1 sale.  Folks sticking w/ the familiar in these volatile times, more than usual perhaps.  Interesting times ahead, what w/ the ongoing pandemic-related correction, plus any impact of the looming recession.  Hopefully everything makes more sense (and cents!) 2-3 years from now.

Very tough Pencer, if there are better copies out there, they are all locked away, thats way better than the best copy I ever found :cloud9:

Best looking 5.5 I've ever seen. Is the back cover missing or something @Frisco Larson? :bigsmile:

I just checked the census and it's one of only two graded pence copies. The other is just one tick higher at Universal 6.0. So, you're spot on about rarity in condition. (thumbsu
