This may be the wrong forum, so I’ll apologize in advance.  But my question is about all the big books out now that have blue labels, but note “Very small amount of dried glue on spine of cover”.    Isn’t this restoration?  Or has CGC relaxed their standards?

I've found that the proper way to get a reasoned response to that question is to ask it in the sales thread of someone who posts a book with that label notation in the "For Sale" forum.

A bitter sweet addition, really wanted to add the White Mountain 9.0 but too slow on bumping up my max bid but I got the copy.  It is in a steamy creamy holder so can't post the full image.

I know sometimes these things fall on deaf ears (sometimes because no one knows, or because some do but are sworn to silence lol )

But i'll put this out there any way: Did a Boardie pick up the Prize Comics #18? 

I did my best, but I knew I was out after the 3k mark.  Hope it went to one of the locals.

Yes , it jumped in the last day but didn't go up anymore Beyond the winning bid. I was prepared to go up a little higher but my snipe attempt was off by a second. 

Probably would have still been outbid in the end, but I'll never know. 

Oh well, like  @G.A.tor always says cest la vie (hope I spelled that right)lol

Hopefully the results will unearth other copies. :slapfight:

I'm lucky that I can only afford to be a spectator for most of these books anyway. :banana:

I dropped out after throwing in a 3807 bid which didn’t go through because someone else had already outbid me so at least two other people were bidding above me. 

What was the final hammer price? 

Nice pickup. I am a big fan of that issue as well. I managed to pick up a nice copy just months before it popped up on everyone's radar.
