Pickie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Wow, I find that absolutely incredible. I could have lived with the brownish edges and I think that the inside pages from the back cover scan still look quite supple but the scenario of being the first to see small flakes coming off the bottom or the top of the spine kept all hopes down. Couldn't have spent this amount of money (56k) anyways but wouldn't have jumped on it even for half of that. Very impressive ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that some of the other board members here would seem to differ with your conclusion here as they thought this copy here would hit north of $60k even with the Slight Brittle pages. Especially in light of the fact that in some of the previous CC Event Auctions, they have been able to fetch $21,500 for a CGC 0.5 graded copy and then into the mid-$40k's for the same CGC 1.0 graded copy on two different occasions. Plus the fact that this exact same CGC 2.5 graded copy had sold in a CC Event Auction about 5 years ago for $42K when still residing in it's original holder: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/613404 Edited April 14, 2021 by lou_fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm.....................sounds to me as though the two of you are confusing the CGC technical grade with the entire premise of the QES labels. Both of the factors which you indicated in terms of the interior wraps and the Brittle Pages are technical defects which goes into the determination of the grade and PQ designations, as assigned by CGC. As far as I know, the QES sticker looks at the visual quality of the book assigns the sticker to it if it feels that its visual appearance is superior to how a standard or average copy of that book would look like in that same grade. From this point of view, they take into account things like color strike, edge quality, etc. which are some of the visual factors that CGC does not take that much into account when assigning their grades. The advantage of the QES sticker over the CVA sticker from my own personal point of view is that the QES sticker at least comes with the specific individual criteria that qualifies it for the sticker, while the CVA sticker is just a generic sticker for any book that meets their visual quality rating relative to the assigned CGC grade. I always find that individual detailed reasons are better than just generic reasons in this case here. As an outlandish example here, if you actually read the reasons for the QES sticker on the Sensation 1, it actually makes sense when compared to this CGC 2.5 technically graded book here: Now, which CGC 2.5 graded book looks visually superior to you, although I will admit that Borock apparently came on later to state that this book had been inadvertently overgraded, after all of the complaints from boardies here. But you do get the idea that copy of Sensation Comics 1 does seem to present much nicer visually than most other CGC 2.5 graded books out there.

D84 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I don't care about the sticker. Every interior page split is .5. It's a stack of pages in a cover that aren't connected to each other. Larryw7 and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would tend to agree with you about the "'Tec 35 finishing on the low side since it was even about $2K under the Overstreet condition guide price.
