That's an amazing 9.0. Looks 9.4 to my eye. 

Can’t disagree.   Graders notes, because I temporarily deluded myself with the notion of chasing an upgrade: Moderate tanning interior cover top.

9.0 seems fair for it.

Well, definitely not GA, but I noticed this book going for the grand sum of only $320 or more than triple top of guide:

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this result was a copy of the Overstreet Update around the time that CGC first opened their doors and there at the front of their pricing update featuring a picture of a CGC 9.8 graded copy of Howard Chaykin's Shadow #1 (Limited Series) from 1986 that somebody had pay $2,500 for.  :screwy:  :screwy:  :screwy:

Once again, to each their own, but I imagine that's definitely a case of buying the label, as opposed to buying the book.  Especially since top of guide valuation for that copy of Howard Chaykin's Shadow #1 is now only at $4 after 30+ years since its publication.  :tonofbricks:

Nice paper and nice grade 

+1

Couldn't agree more!!!  (thumbsu

What did the book end up going for since this is the email (i.e. Session 4 1/2) with the links that I did not received in the mail?  :frustrated:

Hammered at $365.00

That's actually quite a reasonable price to pay for such a fantastic cover.  (thumbsu

Congrats again on a superb pickup here.  :applause:

:news: Well, looks like it was much more of a squeaker than I had originally thought as Phantom Lady with her outstretched longer fingernails just manages to snatch the Bronze medal out of Spidey's hands with a bid of $121K over Spidey's top bid of $120K.  ^^

Still at the back of the pack choking from all of the dust is the rare Italian edition of Walking Dead #1 at $1 and still unable to get out of the starting gate, while the super rare Peruvian version is now clearly ahead in second last place with a triple size bid of $3.  lol  :takeit:

What grade was it?

I really had no intention of bidding on anything tonight, but decided to throw a half-hearted jab at this one last minute.  It worked!

@october told me I should start looking for books that present better than their grade rather than crying about CGC nuking books in my submissions. 

I think this one fits the bill.

It’s a beautiful copy. You’ll dig it in hand.

I may be out of touch but I thought that may be the bargain of the auction.  Presents way better than the number on the label would imply.
