Yes of course I'm sure. Basically I mean in 15 years a 1 million dollar book has become a let's say 4 million dollar book, and that's being conservative I think. What I meant was would it be realistic to think that 4 million dollar book in 2024 will be a 16 milllon dollar book in 2040. I think, and I could be wrong, but the days of these mega books multiplying in value like that are probably gone. At some point the summit will be reached. 

You might think that.  But check out vintage Ferrari results.  The model made famous in Ferris Bueller just keeps climbing, one sold last year for $18 million, after another did $11 million in 2008.  They could be had in the early 70s for a few grand.  Less than 50 exist.  Pretty good corollary to Action 1, except you can't drive it.

You can't drive that Ferrari either...

Some things even a Ferrari can't help.

I agree that grading companies provide a valuable service, as they provide a 3rd party grade and resto check, but that said, I don't think it's fair to lump all dealers in the same bucket. I've purchased from &/or wouldn't hesitate to purchase raw books from some dealers like Bob Storms (highgradecomics), Mr. Bedrock (bedrockcity.com), James Payette (jamespayettecomics.com), and mycomicshop.com (which even has a reputation for undergrading), to name a few. No offense to anyone that I left off; just naming a few that came to my mind first...

Thanks for your recommendations.  I will certainly look into these dealers

That's a pretty incredible price for this classic cover last night...

I like this better :preach: And click the link and see real nice white pages.

Verify CGC Certification | Action 1 Comic | CGC (cgccomics.com)

Hariri's second purchased Action 1 9.0 (sold by Adams) makes me say Hmmmmmm.

Spine splits top and bottom. Piece almost falling out on bottom of spine. Divot on interior pages that looks like it extends through the book.

If the resto can be removed, then the price will be more than justified.

I just went to check out the previews for the upcoming April Signature Auction and there were so many low grade GA books that for a second I thought I had accidentally opened up the ComicConnect auction.

Heritage should reimburse you for the time you wasted, and, more importantly, the trauma you suffered. :sumo:
