Speaking of ASM 129 original cover art. Is there a link to that auction ? Or did the piece get pulled ?

Good question. I haven’t seen it lately either.  Anyone ??

Hasn't yet shown up on ComicConnect. Now that HA has publicized the Batman1, who the F really cares ?

I hope whoever buys it lives in a state with no sales tax!

Supposing the Batman 1 was to be the best copy in existence, I'd take the Batman 1

Well, in this case, if it only started out as a CGC 9.0 graded copy, who's to say that this is not only a temporary rest area on its journey to its final stop for this gravy train run.  

What's to stop it from being squished squashed to line up even more nicely to CGC's undisclosed grading standards and come back out on the other side as either a CGC 9.6 or possibly even as a CGC 9.8 graded copy before the gravy train comes to a full stop.

Actually, wouldn't this be a straight resub for a CGC label and a fast flip to make some real easy big time money for any purchaser of this book then?    

No. When I was offered  this book several years ago, I showed it to someone that “confirmed” it would likely be a Cgc 1.8/2.0 due to spine split. Of course what would happen today , who knows 

Yes, if it was several years ago, it's really hard to say as their undisclosed grading standards can certainly change over time.  

Especially when you have significant changes in their grading teams and also as certain defects moves up the chart on their Hit Parade over time while other defects might move down the chart.

That's what they keep trying to tell me at my AA meetings but I haven't seen any hard evidence to convince me they are right.

its the 3rd 9.0 upgraded to 9.4...not these 2

Using my patented system you too can turn your 9.0s into 9.4s

but in all seriousness the 9.4 looks amazing

That 9.4 > than those 2 9.0’s.  Every bit a 9.4 

Or is it possible that nothing at all was done to the book and this upgrade was simply a straight resub after an extended period of time combined with slightly different grading standards in place at the time of grading?  

Especially since grading is still really more of a subjective opinion at a particular point in time, as opposed to an exact science and a difference of 2 or 3 grade increments is considered to be within their acceptable range of grading variance.  

After all, you never know and it made me think of another book which I now remember:

Is this particular File Copy of Crackajack Funnies 9 here every bit a VF/NM 9.0 quality book or should it really be deserving of something much better (hint, hint.....say something between a 9.6 and a 9.9  ) than a mere CGC 9.0 graded copy?

What happened to the rusted staples? Can they be cleaned and not get a conserved label?

Wasn't white pants and Sean's hair style with the long flow all the rage back then in the 80's and early 90's though?

That Robin is just so dog gone dreamy 

given his recently discussed "attributes", he should have been facing the other way ...

Why, dear Sir...........................would you be referring to Robin, the Butt Wonder with your comment here:    

I guess Batman's nightly workout sure kept it in fine form.

that is a great question....apparently so...it seems more and more that  grading standards are being lowered and more modification of the GA/SA books which in turn leads to regrade and resub and regrade and resub and while that generates additional fees to the CGC and higher auction results, this "game" long term hurts the true GA/SA long term collector/investor with no assurance that some 8.5 copy is gonna come up to your 9.0 level at anytime. I would really like an answer to staple cleanng...that seems to be conserving

Those staples were chia pet rusted. I’m guessing the cover will detach at both staples at some future point. Ain’t no removing that rust
