More annoying is how the pages fan at the bottom right. I never liked that. Whoever pressed that book should have done better. That would have prevented the "starched collar" look at the top right.

Can't express how much joy this brings me. I consider this book a low-key late-Silver Age grail. My target was always 9.6 WP and I am thrilled with my copy ... congrats on grabbing a 9.8.

Popular Post ChiSoxFan Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Since I referenced it in the "Are prices still climbing ..." thread, I figure I might as well post it. Yes, I overpaid, Yes, I know it. Why I did it ... I can only attest to the moment of irrationality that occasionally overtakes even the most rational-thinking people. I had been eyeing the book all auction. It's an old label beauty of a classic ASM issue, and for a while, it looked like I might be able to snag it at a reasonable price. Then, between 30 minutes to an hour before the end, the bidding shot up, and what I had planned to bid was exceeded. My rational side said, "Wait until the next one comes along." The irrational side of me that was aggravated said, "#%$& this ... I'm getting this, and whoever else is bidding, you're not getting it". All in all, happiness is not all about snagging a deal. Sometimes, it's about the rush of the item itself. I have always loved this issue, and I'll be happy to own this copy when it arrives.

It's an old label that looks and probably is better than its assigned grade so you probably did not overpaid ChiSoxFan and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, maybe I'm missing something (I don't follow Conan too closely), but GPA lists the last CGC sale back in June of a 9.6 at $360. From looking at the prices over the past few years, it looks like it's correcting back to "normal" prices before the COVID bump. It looks like a couple of sales during that period caused the chart to go bonkers : batmiesta and BigLeagueCHEW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
