Trying to not seem like a conspiracy theorist here, but I began collecting Savage Sword of Conan mags back in the 80s, completed my collection in the last 10 years or so and then began buying CGC graded copies and at the time, wrote down, one at a time, the information from the CGC census for each copy. There were a few dozen, give or take, that had low or even no CGC graded copies at the time. Over the next few years I spent considerable resources buying copies, then in the last year or so, noticed that all of a sudden many of the low to no graded issues now have 9.8's and some of the lower issues (#1 in particular) suddenly have waaay more out there. When I wrote down #1, probably 8 years ago, the census had 128 9.8s. Now it reads there are 163! I get people find old copies now and then, but when I saw that within a month, around 25 of the low or no CGC graded copies have 9.8s (and they are priced pretty high), if feels a bit of a stretch. I asked CGC about it and received a response, but just wanted to get other collector's thoughts.
