Indeed! Looks better than many 9.0 or even 9.2 copies that I have seen of this issue. Another fine example of "Buy the book, not the label".

Iron Man #47 CGC 9.2 (old label): $375

To the best of my knowledge, this book has not been pressed.

One of the toughest BA Iron Man issues (along with #44) to find in high grade and this one looks better than its assigned grade. Almost flawless spine, some distributor's ink at top edge with a micro-ding that does not break colors and a very tiny crease on lower right corner that barely break colors are the only flaws that I can find. Very tight grading from CGC in those early years.

No grader notes available

Batman #5 CGC Fine- 5.5: $5,500  NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Classic cover and Joker story.

This book was NOT pressed and it would obviously benefit from pressing and cleaning if you are into that kind of thing (not me). Unpressed copies of such early GA books are today near extinction. Colors and gloss on this copy are unreal for a comic of that age. Graded in 2004, it looks gorgeous for its technical grade. Most recent sale around that grade was a CGC 6.5 that sold for $6,000 but feel free to compare that copy with this one: Batman #5 CGC 6.5

Amazing Spider-Man #86 CGC 9.0: $475

Old label goodness graded in 2002. This book was not pressed and it's pretty obvious when you hold the book in hands, it would however greatly benefit from pressing if you are into that (not me).

No grader notes unfortunately

Amazing Spider-Man #8 former CGC 8.0 old label: $1,850

It was graded in 2000 and looks better than its assigned grade, I would grade it as a VF+ and it could probably get higher if pressed. CGC was very strict on those early years (not the case anymore unfortunately...). I own this copy for over two decades and did crack it almost immediately after purchasing but kept the label. Among the defects in the notes, there is a name/store stamp on back cover and overlap of front cover which today are not considered as defects anymore. There is a crease on lower right corner and on bottom left side that do not break colors and would probably be easily pressed if you are into that. I did "upgrade" this copy by another CGC 8.0 that also looks under-graded but with better centering and full CCA stamp (which is very important for me) but this copy here has better colors and gloss. GPA prices in 2023 for a 8.0 did vary from $1,226 to $2,400 with the better looking copies selling for the higher prices. I paid a high price for my new copy and it was not easy to decide which one to keep and which one to resell.

[Straw-Man]

that is a gorgeous 8.0.  likely undergraded, and maybe white pages these days.
