I am a WW1 > S1 > AS8

The WW1 on Clink had amazing eye appeal.

Same here, in terms of cover preference. Does anyone know if the OA to those 3 covers exist ?

I agree.  I know that the "CVA Exceptional" sticker gets a lot of grief on the Boards, but the fact is those books consistently present better than the assigned grades.

i feel like being in her own self titled book is a big deal for many people. sensation 1 lies in a strange netherworld between first appearance and first issue of ww. i also think ww1 is a better cover. i'd rather have ww1, personally. 

I’ve got the complete opposite opinion.  Don’t care much about self-title, Sensation cover is light years better than WW1, 2nd appearance (and story in AS8 continues here and most likely was originally planned for his book).  Sen1 is definitely he better book to me.

I agree and despite being an unpopular opinion, on the average a book that garners the CVA sticker tends to present nicer than other copies.

i know i'm in the GA section now, but to make a SA analogy, it's sort of like saying which book is cooler, ff50, the second surfer cover and third appearance, or silver surfer 1, his nine hundreth appearance and first cover of his own series. to me ss1 comes directly after ff48 in terms of desirability. it's a special thing when a character has a book named for them, imho.

looking at the top scoring results, I can't get over how a Secret Wars 8 in 9.8 sells for $700/800 and a 10.0 just sold for $32K

I’d understand the sale price if this were an 11.0. But it ain’t!

I think a normal 9.8 sells for about $400-$450. The double signed one sold for $605. Got to love the power of the gem mint though. I mean nothing new lol. Pretty sure if that cute little New Mutants 98 CGC 10.0 ever hits the auction block it will break or come extremely close to $100K.

Oh yeah I definitely remember that sale from what feels like a million years ago lol. And since that sale, a 9.9 has sold for $23K at auction. Consider prior to that $23K sale, 9.9’s were selling in the $7K-$12K range on the average. I mean do the math, there’s like 10 9.9’s that can sell in the $20K range. That single 10.0 could be the first copper/modern book to break $100K.

I venture tmnt 1 in 9.9 would do the trick, although none (yet) exist. Perhaps 9.8 one day...

Oh yeah, if a TMNT 1 first print 9.9 existed it would EASILY do it. Probably sell for several hundred thousand. I wouldn’t hold your breath though on a TMNT 1 ever garnering a grade of 9.9 lol. With that black cover it’s insanely lucky enough to get a 9.8, and it’s so rare already. Definitely possible in the foreseeable future a 9.8 may break $100K, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that.

Well, I would also agree and this should be completely expected because this is exactly the service that the submittor/consignor is paying for.    

Similarly, if you are paying CGC to have a book graded, then you would expect a CGC 9.6 graded copy to actually be at a higher condition level than a CGC 9.0 or even a CGC 9.4 copy.  After all, isn't this the exact service which you are paying for when you submit a book into CGC?  

With respect to the "CVA Exceptional" sticker, I actually think the "QES" sticker from ComicConnect imparts a bit more information to potential bidders.  Especially when the CVA sticker is just a generic sticker while the QES stickers on the back comes with a detailed itemization of the specific attributes that qualifies the book in question for this sticker.

I’m curious, do these companies suggest the stickers to the consignor, and if so, does anyone know how often? How much do they charge for the sticker/service?

Comiclink  called me with a suggestion of a CVA sticker on a book I had submitted for grading through them, to be sent to auction. I believe the cost was $35.00 at the time. I went with their suggestion.

They contacted me during a Sept. or Oct. auction this year and said it was $12. I’m not sure if the price fluctuates based on the value of the book or not though.
