In terms of the CGC 7.5 graded copy of More Fun 73, here's a copy of another CGC 7.5 graded copy of a book and for the life of me, I can't tell which one appears nicer from the front cover, with the back cover looking even nicer than the front cover for this book here:

I guess some poor submittor didn't know or understand the full rules of the grading game and most likely got the just bludgeoning of the CGC grading hammer as a result.        

Not sure where it's going to end up at, but sure looks like a steal right now at a dig deep deep down into your pocket whopping $6 for a File Copy of an almost 80 year old book.

Are saying that Matt's no longer with CGC?  

Have they transitioned to Jason already and looking for their next maximization of potential opportunity to solicit regrades?

Is someone actively trolling for a strike?

Maybe it's a joke? today is April Fool's Day, the 1st, not the 4th

Sold on Apr 4, 2021 for:$7,800.00

Maybe that's when the auction ends, so it defaults to that date? That did seem odd to me.

Kind of sad to see these very early and super rare pre-hero DC books like this one here still out of favor with today's generation of collectors and only able to sell at a discount to condition guide, as opposed to the men in tights who wear their underwear on the outside all going for either huge premium or even at multiples to condition guide:

Perhaps the Guide is .... 

Spoiler

wrong

My conclusion based on the limited results is I will not be winning anything in this auction 

GA prices in the Platinum session were actually pretty restrained in comparison to SA and OA.

pandemic on last legs... party is almost over. Pretty soon it will be just us and the crickets and tumbleweeds buying comics again.

The Billy Wright books are nice.  My Tec 9 is BW. I am seeking a Tec 1 but it at least needs to be complete so not this time. Some of the PCH books are unbelievable, including the USA 1. This Bailey Cover has to be my new favorite. 

 

Stunning copy!

You might be right. This might be the high point, after which we fall back to earth. Which makes buying decisions really hard right now

[Aman619]

Tough market to be buying in... prob not a great time to lock in on grails and keys. But, also prob a new dawn in all investment categories so who knows?  Stock market has  been rising for a decade too.  Dow at 33K ?/. S&P at 4000? What the?  It would be so much easier to understand and plan if we only knew who is doing the buying at these prices.  Has Heritage been adding new accounts like crazy for the past year? Or mostly still same bidders? 

[Chief1332]

What goes up, must come down?  Money is cheap.  Interest rates at lows not seen in decades, before I was born.  Investments/profits for everyone with a 401k at an all time highs?  Gov trying to give money away and rolling up that debt, folks stuck at home, discretionary income to spend on other things of interest... adds up to fun fun fun, until daddy takes the T-bird away.

If I submitted a book like that, it would come back as 5.5.

Just sayin'

Knowing my luck when it comes to these kinds of things, it would probably come back as a CGC 4.5 instead of the CGC 7.5 gift grade that More Fun 73 received.

No need for me to troll for a strike since it would seem that the CGC sin bin is pretty much a regular pit stop for me.  

Although Mod1 seems to be trolling me when it comes to threads about Covid-19 or the Post Office, I have yet to be banished for any of my posts when it comes to grading.  Although I do indeed jokingly point out some of the negative aspects of CGC, I do admit that all of us here as collectors or buyers and sellers of comic books are far better off and safer with CGC here, then if we did not have them here.  

Although nothing is ever perfect, just wish that they can sometimes be a bit more consistent when it comes to some of their grading.  Of course this is difficult to achieve since grading is just a professional subjective opinion at a particular point in time, as opposed to an exact science.  Especially when it comes to grading over different time periods, as that Four Color 22 was graded back in 2019 as compared to the More Fun 73 which was graded just a couple of months ago. 

Then again, this book which I saw in another thread here was graded only about 5 weeks ago and yet the front cover scan (no back cover scan as per usual with a CL auction ) sure looks much more presentable with its sharper corners and much much less spine wear than the slightly higher 7.5 graded copy of More Fun 73:

I know, it must have been that nasty looking "S" done with the black felt pen marker that brought the grade all the way down.

So, are you saying that I will now be able to pick up a copy of Transformers #1 in the loonie bin box again instead of trying to save up my $44K?  

Especially since I thought I had a copy of that invaluable book, but guess I must have stopped buying the first 3 issues of all of those countless new series that Marvel was trying to offload to the collecting public back then.  Totally pissed me off as they were also raising prices at the same time and seemingly trying to bankrupt poor collectors like me by trying to make us fork over another dollar for another one of their crapola new books back then.    

[Aman619]

I had --- or have --- a 9.8... its in my database.  But until I locate it again who knows!  Im rich!  (or was it a 9.9 that sold for that much??)

Forget the Transformers #1.  What you need is the first 3 issues of Shogun Warriors from the Tri-colorBrian Looney Bin...only $43.95K...
