You're right.  I like performing rescue missions myself, but seeing the full ashtray and the feet..... I wonder if it kept some bidders away?  

You're selling something for $5000.... how about taking a couple extra minutes to make the photos look good?  Maybe unfold the folded over areas of the cover?

And something is going on with the big toenails. Could be smoker nails

So I know there was a couple of years where CGC books were questionable (so I've heard) 2016. Would it be recommended to buy a book from that era?

Damn was the AF 15 once used as the ash tray? yikes.  Rescue mission indeed

Why were they questionable? Easier grading standards?

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a graded book from 2016. But as the saying goes,  buy the book,  not the grade. 

Graders can have bad days. Standards change and when spending 5 figures on a book,  you should really make sure you can identify flaws and buy the right book at the right price.

Just joined this club, and I’m pretty excited. Book is raw...for now.

That’s a beautiful copy!! Looks like a 7.0!!

[Drummy]

Strong price, it feels like, given the overall trend for MC copies.  (Then again, I don't follow all the sales, so maybe that's low?)

[comicdonna]

To me, that seems like a lot of marvel chipping for a 6.0  Collectors are taking notice of the amount of marvel chipping compared to the given grade, more so now than in the past.  This is being reflected in the hammer price.  

[peewee22]

If I were buying a 6.0 I'd get one without MC.

CGC 6.0 with chipping sold for 48k

I wanted to say "At least the spine looks great" but then I zoomed in and saw a color breaking crease that goes up almost the entire spine.  I'm sorry, but when you add the MC, that might be the worst 6.0 I've ever seen.

My 4.0 almost looks better.

Beautiful 4.0! 

I agree, the 6.0 leaves a bit too be desired. I'm not totally surprised by the price.

yeah, that's a 5.0 price

[Pantodude]

I dunno.  6.0s have gone for a lot lately.  Seemed like a decent deal.

I think it seems more like a 5.0 deal which may be more appropriate for this comic.

Thats a nice looking 4.0.  That 6.0 on heritage has alot more chipping than my 3.5.  I dont know, I feel a 6.0 shouldn't have any chipping

You have to wear gloves to handle your slabbed comics?
