Yup basically what X-omatic said. Even tho I got to admit that the books looks alot better in current comic bag/board size, they don't really offer the same protection as the silver size. One slight bump and you already risk bending a corner. That's why I went Silver for all my books. :thumb:

Yeah similar to X-omatic, I found a LCS willing to sell me 100 silver bag and boards for $10. If I want more, he's willing to go cheaper.

I hope Marvel don't screw this up. Supposedly I heard X-23 will be debuted with the rest of the X-Men. I already don't like the idea that she has claws. Wolverine's claws were implanted and his mutant powers is supposed to be the healing factor, so it doesn't make sense that her daughter would be bo...

Printing errors are only worth something if there's a demand for it. Just like any other books. But in general, since printing errors are not that common, people tend to pay a bit more for it. As for Greg's pictured bloodshot book, even tho it's an inking issue, I still considered it a partial error...

Yup as said, if let's say there is a Valiant revival and Harbinger makes it big again, then that 9.8 value can prolly hold. From the looks of things, Acclaim is just sitting on it and there are no plans on what to do with them. What really erks me is that Acclaim doesn't realize that they are potent...

Just checked the list of bidders and I see Aug's name there. So this book will prolly have a chance of hitting the one grand mark. It'll prolly won't take long to have Rot involved as well. If this book does go over one grand, then more power to you TLC. Your investment made some serious good return...

I would have bid over $1000 for it myself, but that was only when there were 3 known copies. Now that there's at least FIVE known, I've been rethinking. When it all settles out in the wash, 5-10 years from now, books will be valuable not JUST because of their content...but how rare they are in uber...

Hint: Look in an issue published by Acclaim that explains the origin of a certain character.

Kinda left a bad taste reading any VH1 books published by Acclaim. B...

If it hits more than $1,000 (and it will) alot of collectors are going think well if those two bidders think its worth that much to them I would buy it for $500 no problem where as they may not have pa...

It will be interesting to see what percentage of "total print runs" become 'the norm' on the CGC census after 5, 10, or 20 years. (Particularly for books that have been collected/protected.) For example, Incredible Hulk 181 had a print run around 200,000 copies. It came out in 1974, so it...

All you have to do is look at the ration of the books graded. Look at the current cencus for harbinger 1 72 books (3@9.8, 14 @9.6, 24 @9.4, 19 @9.2, 3 @9.0, 5 @8.5, and a few other lower grade.) You can see by the numbers that people are sending in books they think are higher grade and getting on a...

Yeah I was just thinking mainly about the seemingly high prices paid for a book when there is only 2 in the census against 2 weeks later when 3-4 more copies have surfaced.
