Count Zero Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Seller just confirmed via email that the reserve is set at $799.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeidea Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Raw copies in top condition, such as the ones previously sold by comicopolis (which regularly graded 9.6 or 9.8 by CGC) went for $450-$600 over the past 5 years. This one may be high grade but simply wont sell with that reserve, similar to the two on mycomicshop.com ($700 for a "9.2" and $899.95 for a "8.0"), all overpriced me thinks.

Count Zero Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I agree. At one point I would have agreed that 800 bucks was normal... Then I found out that they were being sold for as low as $300... I'm lying in wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapzilla Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Here's my copy that came back 9.8 I was shocked and very pleased. Looks like they take the printing defect/crease on the right front cover into account when grading these. Mine was minor but there. And the confirmed separate slab for the certificate.

deathtohemingway Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have #312 on the way back from CGC. Graded 9.6. Has certificate (loose). I hadn't enough forethought to get the label slabbed as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woregul Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I also have #149 slabbed at 9.8 but the label does not have the name and number noted. I plan to send it back in to fix that and also slab the certificate. Edited July 28, 2015 by woregul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
