I could very easily see the bidders for both of these copies being some of the same people....but just a wild conjecture I admit! If someone wants a copy bad enough and has the cash, they don’t need to wait for an auction :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By cleaning them, and it changes the label...it implies the condition of the staple is material, and should be disclosed.

Early on CGC was much more liberal with the use of label notes and stricter with the PQ. Even today, you can resubmit a book and get the label notes removed. This doesn't mean the staples were cleaned or replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'm being told that the rust is more than I understood. Maybe the book has fuzzy eyebrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENRYSPENCER Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 it seems to me like the guy who bought the other two high-grade Action #1's from Metro would also buy this example to corner the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yeah, but not much of a market to corner if you're the only guy buying comics at the 2M price point. Who are you going to sell to? The Lions Den, BAT MAN, Gotham Kid and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be that interested in second highest grade let alone cornering the market. Now if DA's copy were to be offered ...
