If you pee on it and the book turns yellow then don't submit. The 9.2 are from when folks didn't do prescreens or newbies nowadays who don't know any better

Or they thought that is how you get a yellow label..

The way I see it, if I send in a modern book and miss something for it to come back a 9.2, I deserve it

Yeah, I know what a prescreen is.......it was the pee screen that threw me off.

My point was....I still haven't seen a book that has more 9.8's on the census that every other grade except for one.

Was that the eBay buyer who had the username: pastimperfekt? If so, I remember him buying every high-grade Marvel slab in sight. He was mentioned here more than a few times in the past, circa. 2007-2008. Wonder what ever happened to him - did he run out of money?

 

 

 

He moved into Golden Age books.

It does, they do it to mine all the time. Here’s the email. I have to go back in to the listing and change it back.

I've had this happen but only after I've gone in to edit the price of a listing.

If you change the price, it automatically checks the "accept offers" box in the listing.

Absolutely. I had a ASM 346 nd 347 signed by Larsen and the 346 come back a 9.2 when I thought it was 9.6. The 347 was 9.6

A bit disappointing but still a very nice book

Pee screen. Why would anyone spend the money to get that back in 9.2?

How much does it cost for pre screen?

Someone was selling an item for $100 with best offer. I offered $80, expecting either an acceptance or counter-offer. But I was turned down.

Sellers like that I just ignore going forward, they are not worth dealing with.

eBay has this new feature where they randomly add ‘allow offers’ to people’s listings even if they originally set it to no offers. Might be what happened with this seller.

Yea I saw that a few months ago, but more recently I've had stuff up for 2+ months and the offers aren't getting automatically added, so I'm thinking they backed that out.

What's also likely is that they never turned off the allow offers feature.  Ebay has gotten sneaky about that by turning it on by default and hiding it down below a section of auction options that you have to click to expand.  I assume most sellers either don't know it's there or sometimes forget to turn it off.

Back in 2010 we had one deep pocket setting records on almost every highest-graded Silver and Bronze Age Marvel.

The guy I'm referring to started buying in 2010, and I never identified any eBay account at the time.  I really only watch Silver and Bronze Age Marvel prices, and 2010 was specifically the only year I saw him tearing up that market.

CLink last auction. 

[fantastic_four]

A 9.8 copy of that sold the same day on eBay for $4800 on a buy-it-now.  There's also a 9.8 copy on eBay right now currently at $6350, although that one is signed by McFarlane.

[OuterboroGuy]

My portfolio value on GPA "My Comics" has been going up by $500 a day for the past two weeks.  If this keeps up I'll have another $100k by New Year's.  I know, like all bubbles, this will pop . . . but it is fun while it lasts.

Goon 1, Goon 2, Darkhawk 1, Spawn 1, Locke & Key 1, tons of books have more 9.8s than any other grade. Locke & Key 1 has more 9.8s than all the others put together. Quite possibly because it was an instant sellout and like 10% of the copies bought were sent to CGC. Spawn 1 does too.

I'm thinking the list of books where people submitted and shouldn't have because they came back under 9.4 would be longer.

But 82 people did submit books to get a 9.2 grade or lower on it.

The 9.2 are from when folks didn't do prescreens or newbies nowadays who don't know any better

I looked, but couldn't find the part of the census that tells you why everyone submitted.
