The AC13 was originally owned by @nearmint  who if I'm not mistaken had the cover married ( only work done )

Yep, that was mine.  Cover purchased off eBay, interior from Comiclink.  The cover is unrestored, and gorgeous.  It was the interior that brought the grade down to 8.0.  If someone switched the interior for a nicer one, that book would be a conserved 9.2/9.4.

As the PLOD label clearly shows for the Action 13, it looks like there was more work done on the book than just a married cover.  :gossip:

Interesting to note that if the work was limited to just a married cover and nothing more than that, the book would not receive the PLOD label as this type of work is no longer considered to be restoration.  Doesn't make much sense to me, especially since CGC still has marrried cover or married interior pages listed as  falling under the Restoration umbrella.  They really need to update their website for their Restoration Grading Scale, although it's quite possible they themselves are totally confused as to what activities falls under Restoration, what falls under Conservation, and what falls under Qualified.  O.o  :facepalm:  :devil:

I firmly believe this copy could be resubmitted for a conserved label based on the notes.  If the pieces added to the interior were leafcast I would imagine it would be entirely plausible it could (and should) be re-subbed and receive conserved status.  Assuming there aren't any other significant restorative graders notes that are not posted on the label, that is (and there shouldn't be).

Rather surprisingly, not much action on these pre-Robin 'Tec books.  :whatthe:

Probably not the best idea to have these books lead the auction off right at the start because a lot of potential bidders (like me :facepalm:) might end up coming in late and not even be settled in yet.  doh!

Prices were definitely not very strong on these books this time.  :(

The 29 went just under 16

the 33 went 27

the 35 went 28500 I think

the 36 went just over 30

How do you guys feel about these prices? I’ve always believed the auctions that end near Christmas net prices that are low. I know the All Select 1 got big money(IMO). What do you think about these preRobin tecs?

Prices were below what I would have expected; especially, considering the recent hot market.  Like stated previously, wonder if being listed first tonight hurt the books.
