Do we think this trend in newstands will filter down the grades ?

my newsstand copy is around a 7 so technically do we think this is worth more than a direct 7 ?? 

Most recent 7.0 direct sale = 600 in May. 
most recent 7.0 newsstand sale = 640 in April

Wonder if the buyer cared enough to look at the back

That corner crease was a major reason as to why I’m glad that I didn’t win

Awesome.  An 8.0 in a 9.8 holder 

Money well spent

Comiclink actually posted a back cover pic?  Surprised to see that on a book this modern.

It’s got that sweet jagged edge that we all love as well....

Guess it was graded at 5pm on a Friday   Do people have any idea what they are doing when they spend this type of money?  I can see flippers not caring because, after all, it is in a 9.8 holder, but collectors?  Heck if I know whose buying these books.

Just curious as I know nothing about ComicLink. If this clearly is a misgrade does the buyer have any options to cancel?

There’s no way there’s only 5 9.8 newsstands 

How are you arriving at this number?

 

 

Looking at gpa sales and extrapolating.  As I said, I THINK there’s 5 copies of newsstand in 9.8.

Would love to know if anyone has more info

I did a bit of study on it last year about this time... http://www.slabdata.com/blog/2020/amazing-spider-man-300/

Rough estimate was about 1 newsstand CGC 9.8 for every 38 direct CGC 9.8 on ASM #300.

Current CGC Census totals for ASM #300 are 1,109 universal 9.8 and 286 signature series 9.8.  If you do the 38-to-1 estimate, you'd get 28 newsstand CGC 9.8 universal and 7 newsstand CGC 9.8 signature, for about 35 total (estimated).

I love the newsstand but personally I think the books with 3+ sigs are more important.

Before the summer last year I was searching for this book like a mad man. I just got back into collecting and made a short list of comics I wanted to get. I remember seeing 2 on Ebay at $2500 but passed cause I didn't have the cash at the time. Then of course when I did they were gone. I do remember being picky because if I'm spending that kind of cash. I wanted to make sure it looked pretty clean. So jagged edges, Mis-wrap's or bent corners were a definite pass. So seeing now how people spend that kind of money on a condition like that is crazy to me. 

Note: I was able to get a 9.8 copy before they jumped.

I must have gotten lucky because I barely notice a jagged edge on mine, maybe just a tiny, tiny section of the cover.

So is this book destined to trend like IH181? A book that has no shortage of availability in all grades, but one that continually demands a high price through pure popularity of the character. It's gone past the 30 year mark now too so pretty old really. Which is also weird as back in the mid 90s I felt like getting a book from the silver age was ancient! The gap from ASM300 to now doesn't feel like much at all.

Is was mentioned a few pages back that 10k for a 9.8 could be a point it stalls for a while. If it powers through that barrier then there's nothing to stop it!
