People who scroll through auctions in search of books below market value go to GPA for advice. They see current avg and last sale and try to snag it under that amount. What they don’t know is the market for each and every book and how that is translated in to GPA. Again the Marvel Chipping. There are also cases of books with bar codes like BA12 that would not be reflected in GPA averages. The black WD1 mature label sells higher than the white but again GPA fails to report the differences. Trust me if you have beautiful AF15 and the identical grade just sold, buyers would be telling you what GPA is for your white pager with the clean right edge.

This is absolutely correct.  I prefer gocollect over gpa for this reason, although the ComicLink links don’t stay available for very long.

Another raw Ginger 4 in the 4.0 range just sold again on ebay for $1225.  :whatthe:

These sale prices seem to be higher than what Archie 50s go for.  What's up with this?  Which one of you boardies is hoarding these?  I have a few but can't win any of these anymore cuz the prices are too high.

Even a 3.0-4.0 Ginger 7 just sold for $220 a couple days ago.

This series is on fire.

Just bought this Australian Archie.

Once again they switched out one girl for another as Ginger gets switched out for Veronica.

A No-Prize for anyone who can spot the definite mistake on the Australian cover.  It's pretty obvious but you might miss it.

Wrong high school, of course!

Yup! You win.  Also, check out the spelling of "Favorite".  Does that mean Jughead is speaking with an Aussie accent?

Looks like the mistake is on both covers, no?

Some might say the US edition is the anomaly

Could we have kippers for breakfast?  Mummy dear, Mummy dear.
