So the QES sticker means... the book looks better than the average 9.9?   

 

I know,  it does seem pretty kooky. Here is why they say it received the sticker:

ow/white pgs; DOUBLE COVER, 1st cover 9.8, 1 of 1 at the top!; QES Certified - Criteria met: Preferred staple placement + Flawless staple area + flawless cover edges + Color Deep Strike(Red).

I have noticed a lot of the QES stickers note staple placement and color strike. I have an Iron Man 55 with almost the same notes.

Wow!  Double cover, Edgar Church, 9.8 & 9.9 covers..............too bad it doesn't have "white pages". 

 

 

 

Yeah . That's a deal breaker for me.

Not too sure about staple placement, but that's probably because CGC tends to grade based upon the so-called "technical merits" of a book (Promise Collection notwithstanding ), and really not so much upon visual factors such as color strike.

OW/W pages are not a deal breaker, but you could argue that white pages should be a requirement for a 9.9 or even a 9.8 or 9.6.

From your lips … Looking at GPA magic eight ball was not optimistic. Toughest issue of about 10 I need to complete my run. 

[batman_fan]

It is a spectacular copy, likely worth pursuing hard if you can afford it.

He most certainly did if he's the one that bidded $60K for the book which means a super strong final price of $69K with the 15% BP juice in there.

Looks like this book along with the other Centaurs just keeps on rocketing up as it sold for $38.5 on its first go round as a CGC 7.0 graded copy in the original Jon Berk auction back in 2017 and then resold for $54,002 as a CGC 7.5 graded copy in 2019.

Another Centaur that did real well was this copy of AMF V2#5 as my high bid from this morning did a sexturple by the time it was all said and done:  

https://www.comicconnect.com/item/967640

Closed with a bid of $30,500 which came out to a final price of $35,075 which represented an almost 50% ROI on the $23,655 that this Larson copy sold for back in 2019.  Definitely a much stronger return than the huge negatives which we have seen on 37 of the 43 Promise Collection books that have come back into the marketplace on their second go round to date so far.

Looks like a nice 9.0. Wonder what brought it down.

Maybe the it's one of the buyer's favorite books, but when it was auctioned in 2019 he didn't have the cash on hand and has kicked himself ever since for not just making it happen and also for not buying the Church copy when Metropolis had it for sale 17 years ago.  

Maybe.
