Duncan Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I ran some of my CGC certifications numbers through the verification search and I had few books that came up with the top pop and 0 in higher. Does that really add any extra value to book or just simply means the highest in grade? Thanks to anyone that can help with the questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 It depends on the book, the pool of buyers for that specific book, and the condition grade and appearance of your "top-census" copy. There is no set formula. Personally, I'd never ask for or pay a premium for a 4.0 VG book, just because it's the top-census copy. Other collectors may not agree. If you share specifics about your chart-topping books (including images), you'll probably receive more targeted and useful opinions.

Cman429 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I deal in trading cards on the side and it’s funny but POP 4 or whatever is a big selling point in that community but as far as I’ve seen comic people don’t seem to care about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyers may not be so willing to pay up these days. There is also the example of the Hulk 181 9.9 that suffered from shaken comic syndrome and has no chance at being regraded as such.

revat Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I think it does add value, but also you have nothing to compare it to....so it's hard to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
