So if I bought a book on Ebay signed by "Stanley"...that's probably not going to work out very well for me?


Unless maybe it's Psycho Circus or HTD #12 & 13.

9.8s and 9.6s will be so common that the 9.9 and 10 will really command premiums.

I refer to the difference between a 9.8, 9.9, and a 10.0 as the "Got Lucky" quotient.

Can’t argue against that!

I truly think you’re on to something. I can’t imagine a grader looking at 9.8 and 9.9 seeing much different.

In all fairness, I’m not a grader or pretend to be one on tv, but 9.8 is mint/ near mint and 10 starts to feel like an A+++

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

That's exactly what I meant, but it works both ways.

In my area, Restaurant X is getting 4.5 stars rating from professional food critics .
Similar cuisine Restaurant Y is getting 4.7 stars from professional food critics.

Both have White Chairs.

I'm thinking I should go to Restaurant Y since it has a higher rating and is only $150 per plate more. Their plastic plates are much clearer too. Makes total sense to me. Someone else's professional subjective opinion is absolutely worth the exponential differential in cost per plate ....... I think?

I remember when just having certain books in a collection was enough. It wasn't about the "grade" of the book. I can't believe people are this persnickety about grades. What a bunch of malarkey.

I agree with this train of thought. I would trade a 9.8 BA 12 for an Adventure Comics 247 4.0, they are about equal value.
