Just when you started to believe that slabs don’t sell…
Meanwhile…elsewhere on ebay…

…and to think there was a time when I thought comic hobbyist/collectors/sellers were savvy, aware, and sharp.
Then I see sale differentials like this (CBCS/CGC) and realize that part of the market is about as foolish, narrow-minded, tunnel visioned, and dumb as dumb can be.

I think part of it is people looking for books will use CGC in their save search…rather than 9.8 which would grab all of the services. So less views = less people to bid it up.

I sure do hope that is the (primary) reason
I’ve also searched specifically for a CBCS book (on the fly, not as a saved search) and ebay’s search automatically replaces cbcs with cgc.

I thought maybe someone would get this price for a newsstand of this book in 9.8. But not a direct.
Some of these books are not scarce. People just don’t send them in for grading because there isn’t much demand…but sales like this will change that.
Jim Lee cover, BTW.
Does anyone know why Silver Surfer 18 is so hot right now? It’s #1 on the cbsi hot 10 and they did research on it and have no idea why it’s selling. There were 70+ sales of it last week.

That is a great observation. Why has that never crossed my mind before?!!
I bought a restored ASM silver age comic. CGC has it as slight restoration (c-1). I just wanted a nice copy to read for a decent price. Will crack it out when I get it and share the results.
I need to go dig in some shortboxes for Sonic…

It’s pretty crazy that we’re watching this scam happening in real time as it happens. And yes it’s a scam because CGC is taking a larger cut from this mythical FMV.

There are probably a few hundred if not a thousand of 9.8 UF4 that can cross over to a 9.9.

I continue to be glad I did not renew my CGC with all these increasing scandals.

Since CGC has moved the goalposts, my 9.6s could probably be 9.8 or even 9.9 now, but resubmitting means possible banana damage. Lovely.

Wait for it folks.
I caught some spy camera action on the cgc monthly meeting.
Here is what is planned next
