Axelrod Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I'm sure this question got asked somewhere and/or there's an easy way to look up this information, but I can't figure it out atm, so I thought I'd just ask if there was a way to know which books have received the highest number of 9.8 grades, period? Like, I think I may have read somewhere that Spider-Man 300 was the book that has been graded the most, but I'm wondering specifically about the books with the most graded 9.8 copies recorded. Like is there a list somewhere? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Cool site- didn't know it was out there. I didn't see a way to sort by the fewest number in the census - does anyone know how to do that? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fewest is zero, and it's shared by thousands of books. Edited June 2, 2023 by valiantman Microchip and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That either means the books are worthless or "SINGLE HIGHEST GRADED!" (but probably both).

Panda2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I was more interested in knowing which GA/SA titles have very few floating around in the census - there was a thread a while back about books with fewer than 50 in the census - and I seem to enjoy oddball books, so was just wondering if you could look at the other end of the spectrum.

Pull-out Spawn poster 30,797 6 77 14970 . Just looking at the "10" graded books is fascinating. Apparently there's a whole thing with "Pure Silver Foil" editions of books that basically all get graded "10". I mean, Amazing Spider-Man 1 Pure Silver Foil (2023) has 745 graded copies in the census and 741 of them are "10"s. And Incredible Hulk 1 Pure Silver Foil (2019) has 475 copies and 417 are "10"s. That must have been some kind of pre-arrangement with CGC, yes? Looks like the book with the most "10" CGC grades that might have been from actual customers sending the book in could be Batman: Damned 1 (2018) and there are 379 CGC "10" graded copies of that out there, out of 3557 total graded. And the "variant" cover for that book also has an absurdly high number of "10" grades, 319 out of 2452. Something probably going on there as well.

Nope, I pretty much know nothing about comics that aren't Warrens. But that does make a lot more sense. Now the part that doesn't make sense is why are they being discussed in a thread about highly-graded comics... Fraggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers About 37,000 different comics dated 1938 to 1959. Over 16,000 of those have between 1 and 3 CGC graded copies (around 44%). About 16,000 different comics dated 1960 to 1969. Nearly 7,000 of those have between 1 and 3 CGC graded copies (around 41%). Edited June 6, 2023 by valiantman MAR1979, Panda2 and Yorick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I recently found this out. Even if they are 10's it doesn't interested me as they are not actual comics. You're buying a silver foil front cover of the old comic. Nothing else.
