9.9... dare I say 10.0....!?

[ZephyrWasHOT!!]

Think about it this way....when there were 12 copies of Magnus #1 in 9.8 on the census, it was a $300 book.

Now that there are well over 100, it's now a $50 book.

Now, I realize that the CGC census is really too young for hardcore manipulation....but the potential DOES exist.

I agree. Even books which appear "plentiful" on the census today
in certain grades may already belong to only one or two collectors.

Oh, that reminds me....

Remember the huge Bone auction last fall? The guy who had 5 copies of every single issue, slabbed?

He singlehandedly took over the census for Bone. Where before there was 1 copy in 8.5 (#9) or 2 copies in 9.0 and 9.4...now there are 6, 7, 8, 10 copies, all in 9.0-9.8.

One guy.

Totally obliterated the census.
