Skunkboy replied to Brendan H's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
WOW! Amazing book - congrats!!! I think your pics undersold it a bit - I was also thinking 8.0 max. That's a good mistake thought - congrats!!!! -
9.4

This. Beautiful copy!
-
Agree with the above - 9.6 with a shot at 9.8 after press? All I see are the slight indentations on FC that look very pressable. Gorgeous book!
-
Tough to tell what's going on the with the upper right corner FC - visible wear on each corner on BC brings it down - 9.0-9.2
-
8.0-8.5

7.5

Hi all - would love to get your take on this GI Joe 1. Outer structure of the book seems fine, however there's an issue with the staples I haven't seen before. it appears that during manufacturing, the inner staple ends somehow went out instead of in. This did cause some tearing to the centerfold, however it is securely fastened. Any thoughts on the grade and how CGC would view this? Thanks!

Are these keys worth it for the price?
Skunkboy replied to Comic Pingu's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
I definitely understand your concern, and feel that it's a common one, but I don't think the takeaway from what's going on is that "nobody will be able to afford the market". Consumer demand drives market prices, and right now we're seeing how historically high demand is. What will happen moving forward is that collectors will adapt - there will likely be a day in the near future where owning NM 98 or UXM 266 in CGC 4.5 or 5.0 will be just fine for many collectors. I remember IH 181 shopping about 10 years ago - I really only wanted a "nice" copy - 9.0+ (lol), and my budget was about $1200. I didn't pull the trigger on anything because I couldn't find the right copy within my budget and didn't want to feel like I was "overpaying". Well, we know how far that $1200 would go these days, and I'm now hoping to eventually pick up a well-presenting copy in the 4.5-5.0 range . -
Bought a bunch of raw books from Buzzetta - shipped immediately, and one of the best packing jobs I've seen - recommended! Thank you!
