10.0 comics

29 posts in this topic

That's the same thing I've said countless times Meth...but some people are okay that it's completely luck of the draw between 9.8, 9.9, and 10.0. I also agree with CI that there probably is a quota on 10.0's (there probably has to be though).

The only reason behind the $1000's is that the CGC 10.0 "opinion" is highly respected in the industry and carries with it a weight that makes books of this caliber receive offers of that nature.

 

Sorry Darth, but the reason for the CGC explosion is because comics are now encased in plastic with an easy-to-read number on the front. You may feel differently, but to the new-money investors driving this spree, it's really that simple.

 

CGC creates the illusion that it's easy to invest in comics, when the reverse is actually true.

Agreed, the high end market truly is the essence of just paying for a number.. It's at the 9.8, 9.9, and 10.0 mark where there's a less then 50 percent chance that it would regrade at the same mark. The differences between the 3 are so miniscule that it could "sway" a book either way at any time..it's almost more likely that what books the grader has seen before hand has more influence on what high-end number it gets then opposed to the book itself. I realize this happens with any book as grading is subjective, but when you get to the "perfect" books at the high-end the true subjectiveness starts to fade as pretty much everyone can tell the book is "perfect".
