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

I got the poster signed by GFK. they were telling everyone not to rush the stage at the end but no one listened. GFK and Raekwon are usually great with the fans.

All 9.9s are scams. If we cracked a 9.9 and 10 9.8 the graders would not be able to tell the difference

Unless or until they come up with actual standardized guidelines that are created by neutral 3rd party type group for grading standards, all slabs are just the opinion of the slab company. Most of us are pretty intelligent folks and collectors who can likely grade these things ourselves and probably be more accurate than the current “paid” opinions out there.

Waiting for someone to take one for the team and send in 10s and get back 9.8a. Have CGC crack it out…would they even dare?! Seems like a liability on their side.
No one is going to do that anyway….because EVERYONE knows it a scam (or CGC gate keeps) except those that pay the outrageous prices for 9.9/10.0.
Fools and their money….
