Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave This explains most of it. I think there is a timing component to it also. When you factor in the variables of when pressing became a common practice and when the books achieved "slab worthy" value, that may play a role in the distribution of grades. ASM 300 is 11 years older than NM 98 and 4 years younger than Secret Wars 8. But it achieved wide-grade "slab worthy" value before both of these books...in an era when pressing was not widely available. So many of the slabs with grades below 9.0 may not even exist today. In fact, many of the 9.0's-9.4's on the census may well have been cracked and pressed since they were first graded. Certainly many were not cracked, but that 34,000 number is probably overstated by several thousand, all of them likely being less than 9.6. NM 98 and SW 8 would be more likely to have already been pressed before the first submission. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck And and and...TMNT 1 is a magazine! Pedantics aside, I guess the bigger point is that there are less ASM 300 9.8's than one would expect to see when comparing it to other moderns...regardless of the ratio. ASM 252 is similar to ASM 300 in low number of 9.8's and almost 3-to-1 ratio of 9.6 to 9.8. While Secret Wars 8 (same age as ASM 252) has a high number of 9.8's and almost a 1-to-1 ratio of 9.8 to 9.6. Certainly, there is an explanation here, and it most lie either in the printing (colors, etc) or the preservation (reading vs going unsold?). Very well could have something to do with both. |

| One day I perused the census pre-covid & post covid for many of these books (and others). The differentials were almost unbelievable in many cases. And we wonder why values are suppressed post covid. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders Personal story about Snickers. They were my favorite candy while growing up. Up to about 10 years old when I got hold of an entire fun size bag and ate all of them one fine evening. And then vomited them all later that night. Never touched that stuff since 10 years old and I'm 59 now |

| @Davethebrave is discussing why there are so many ASM 300 submissions. @CaptainCanuck is discussing why there is a relative dearth of 9.8 submissions. The two subjects actually don't conflict with each other at all. There are tons of high-grade copies. The calculated median of 9.2 is probably understated when you consider how many books were likely cracked and pressed for resubmission after initial grading. A surprisingly low number of them get a 9.8 grade. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia The range of submissions -drives- the relatively low percentage of 9.8s in the pop report. Because ASM 300 is the most valuable (mainstream) modern, it has the widest range of condition books subbed. Many moderns have majority 9.6+ subbed. Not a reflection on actual grades of the full population, just the economics of what makes sense to submit given market value. Some other minor drivers are clean+press timing, book specific attributes, but these are secondary to the economics of submissions. |
