I guess that means CGC had placed a value of $1M on that copy of Action Comics 1.  

With having to pay that kind of money to have a book graded, it's no wonder most collectors don't slab their books until it comes time to sell them.

From the Ian Levine complete DC collection. Most likely conserved or restored; enroute to CGC.

I think the answer is two-part

 

1) if you were sitting on such a big book(s), should have been graded a while ago

2) if you ever decide to sell such a huge book, I'm sure the big auction houses will slab it for you at no charge or a shared charge in your favor

It's a shame that the owner is not using one of the big auction houses (HA, CC, Clink) to sell this collection.  The collection, with its extraordinary completeness, is too important and valuable to sell in a relatively unknown venue that will not be visited by most of the hobby.

Hopefully can steal some for bargain prices

Ian is a friend of mine. I believe his main goal was to complete every DC comic printed the Detective 3 was my copy I sold him years ago and he has sent me some nice pictures of his books over the years here is the last picture he sent me.

Here is my picture of the book and I know it's worth couple hundred more than the $1300 I paid Gerber. 

Surprised someone would pay 1300 for a blurry photo....
