Was the 8.0 Action #1 being the Larson discussed as well? 

There was discussion of the Action 1, but I don't recall if it was identified as the Larson.  May have been.

DA has the Allentown, right?

Walk-thru submissions?

What would the FMV charge have been to get these books graded?

Incredible set of books to come in at once. I wonder if it will ever happen again. I hope it does, but the odds seem low.

What an amazing time it is in the world of comics. Guess it was a matter of time before these insane sales would drive more raw copies out into the open. Must be nice owning mega grails 😩

Yep 3% fmv walk-thru. Would have been much cheaper if they had their copies graded years before. Probably the only draw-back, but they will make up for it greatly if they plan on selling.

Sorry if this was covered elsewhere, but I've been off the boards for a while (stinkin' life getting in the way of comics.)

Anyway, as I posted on my blog this morning there are two new major books in the CGC census- both added on June 29th- a CGC 8.5 Detective 27 and a CGC 8.0 Action Comics #1. 

In addition to the easily verified census entries, I was told privately, that the Detective 27 is the Church copy and the Action #1 is the Larson copy. Can anyone verify? As often happens searching for both books just leads back to my own site, so that's useless to try to verify. 

Also, does anyone know if these books are in the same collection? It seems likely, but it could just be a coincidence. I'd love to verify that, as well.    

I believe both of these are owned by...

At 2 mill that would be a 60 K grading fee a pop 👍

You'd have to think the publicity for CGC or CBCS to grade these books gives you an automatic discount. (how much is the question)  I'm guessing if the owner does get charged they use the OSPG as their value indicator

It just seems to get better and better, record breaking year for GA sales lead by promise and the big guns....it will continue in 2022 and year we could break 100M in sales next year.

Yep.  There used to be a cap of 3K? on walkthrough grading.

Looks to be all those books coming from the same owner since they were graded around that same timeframe? I wonder who it is  

No they're not.  The Tec 58, 62, and 66 are Promise books.

Tec 33 is when Junie began, he was 8 years old, and the beginning for him was lower grade as you'd expect.  Like Bat 1 2.0, Cap 1 3.5.  

The Promise books are rolling through CGC like a tidal wave, week after week.  What you're seeing is a decision by other deep pocket collectors to ride the wave perhaps and get while the gettings good.

How do you think these compare hammer wise to the AF 9.6 heading to auction. I have the Church Tec ahead of it and the Larson Sure behind it if all auctioned now

It was his copy once upon a time, I believe, but jettisoned from his collection long ago.

I think the AF15 is going to go bananas. The Church Tec might just go bananas as well. I think the Larson is going to be slightly more predictable since there are so many comparable sales now (although it will still be a huge sale)

I talked to him in 1982ish and he had just bought the church copy as I had just bought a copy from E Gerber but did hear he upgraded
