How it this possible when it came out just a couple weeks ago...?

That's some crazy turnaround time. OR perhaps a favor for some one...

Most likely. I have bought convention variant issues and walked them straight to be graded. Never paid the extra money for same day turnaround but I can see someone doing that.

@DarthLego Wait, the Blue label is coveted? All this time I thought it was the standard label that 90% of the books get. Thank goodness that seller is around to enlighten me!

he'll probably still get $85 for it 50 years from now.

meanwhile, some silver age book in his collection is weeping for a nice CBCS holder...

Dammit! I hate when these people get Kool-Aid all over the place.
And even though it's a 9.9, he still spams the listing with "9.8"

Ridiculously worthless book that some thinks has value...Ofcourse a guy made millions of the pet rock, so I guess I don't know squat about comics anymore. I'm taking my ball and going home.

Since the write-up talks up the holder and CGC more than the actual book, it seems to me that the seller is actually "working" for CGC. Or at least, got quick turn-around times as a favor for his marketing scheme. So to a casual collector or investor, his wording is more to calm any fears over "rumors" about the new holders. Luckily, most of us know better.

Anything in the world is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. And everyone likes different cups of tea.
