Wow!! For High-Grade SA DC Collectors21728

You do know that the new guy brings the donuts, right? DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user
First, let me say that this book isn't mine (I wish it was) and, to my knowledge, doesn't belong to anyone I know.

With that said, all I can say is WOW!! What a beauty! I'll be real curious to see how much this sells for.

How do I know this? Because I've done it myself. lawguy1977 private msg quote post Address this user
But is it a banana book?

WOW! It just got graded and it probably was this 9.6 sold in 2008 for $4k. I wonder also how much this "unicorn" will go for? $25k? Probably should have listed it in a Heritage featured auction. Alot of eyes are going to be on this one.

How can a book with that much (what looks like to me, tanning) be a 9.8?

@Rbolton That's just plain luck to get that one happy CGC grader who was having a great day! But you are absolutely right, CGC's own Guide allows a max of 9.6, and that's for the lightest tanning.

The first thing that cam to my mind was that it was a little dark (front and back) and I thought maybe it's the scan. I don't know but at a closer look the back has a lot of tanning.

I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery. DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user
Anything in the 4XXXXXXXX series books are prone to being overgraded and potential banana books, especially the 44s and 45s.

Granted it does look pretty, but so do most things from a distance.

Good luck to the buyer of that book when they decide to sell it and there are 3 or 4 more 9.8s on the market and quite possibly a 9.9.

I don't see tanning. With OW/W pages, it's hard to imagine the book is tan. Could be the scan.
It will kill in auction.

Pretty book but that book is still a 9.6.

I can see three small problems with that book that only allows in the 9.6 grade.

Still it's pretty....

I use both and I've yet to get a gift grade.

Now this is a pretty book.



And after the two imperfections were removed after a press.




When there were three 9.8s it was a $10k book.

And after Mark's copies were graded.




There's now ten in 9.8 after twenty years of grading.
What they are worth now? Who knows but I won't be selling because where am I going to find another copy for $320 plus grading in this condition.

wow I've got that Deadman in Raw in a box somewhere ... now I've got to go find it.

And a crapload of Weird War Tales, too. That was a favorite book of mine, as well as Weird Western Tales. I wonder if I can find enough of them to fix my car.

DC horror books are popular now.




My copy I hope will hit high 9s






So nice prices realized.




A potential 9.8 Mickey mouse copy with corners so sharp you need safety glasses to read it!.

@DWeeB1967 Wow! already beat my initial guess of $25k? Wish the rest of the market followed this trend. Losing my hat on some last year purchases. Well, at least it's still a buyer's market. Wish I had more $$$ to speculate.
