Been there, done that.  Unless since then you've identified a group of collectors willing to pay more for books with cream to off white page quality that otherwise have the same grade and overall eye appeal as their white paged alternatives.  Because there's unquestionably a group willing to pay more for the latter than the former.

Oh spare me, despite your obvious attempt to conflate issues (as you so often do), you've never once proven anything.  And the reason why you never have is becaus A) it is impossible to either quantify or prove, and B) It is in fact demonstrably false and easily disproven, as I have time and again with countless links that handily dispute your patently false and absurd premise.

If you could choose between 2 books, identical in every way and for sale for the same price except one said "White Pages" on the label and the other other said "Off-White to White Pages" on the label, which would you choose?

I spit on CR/OW page books. They are worthless to me. They should all be sent to PGX. Better yet, first send them to the guy that presses with his iron. The ONLY reason anybody buys a CR/OW is because they sell for so much cheaper. These are the buyers that probably buy cheap hamburger meat rather than a steak. They can usually be found, unsold, in 50 cent boxes.  I think I saw a pile of CR/OW slabs the other day at the Goodwill with a discounted sign. How can anyone even call them a collectable ?

So you've found a group of collectors who'd pay more, all other things being equal, for comics with cream to off white page quality.  Cool.  Otherwise, the simple law of averages would provide proof that because some collectors are willing to pay more for comics with better page quality, all other factors being equal, the average price paid by everyone overall will be higher for those books.

Since he apparently can't tell the difference with the hundreds upon hundreds of comics he's submitted to CGC, I bet it doesn't matter to him.

For most every other submitter, it's easier to predict the page quality grade than the numerical grade for anything that isn't pre-screened or a modern comic.

I often wonder if any of you making these unsupported and outlandish comments ever once stop to consider how many collectors and readers you are quietly offending.

As a White Page junkie, your comments are offensive to me !

Stumped again by the law of averages.

A tad contentious (and completely unfounded.) I believe this type of discourse is strike-worthy.

I still wonder what my 7.0 white pages in a old case (wasn’t pressed Nether) would fetch.

Put it up on eBay with a high BIN  ($5K or $6K) and see what offers come in.

Yes but none of those were white pages.

Well, it's obvious you haven't been paying attention then. (tsk) 

From reading some of the previous posts, if it's White Pages, then for sure you would have to lower your asking price.  :makepoint:   lol

That depends on the eye appeal, and the venue you use to sell it.
