Post by Escaflown4 »

FYI, a copy of X-Men #1 graded in 9.6 has just been added to the census. This is the only highest and best copy graded thus far!!!

Amazing that a comic book that old can be in that kind of shape.

Actually there is two 9.8's of X-Men #1 as well as two 9.6's. I know one of the 9.8's is the Pacific Coast copy, as is one of the 9.6's. One of the few Pacific Coasts to have doubles.

The last few 9.4's have all sold for just over a 100k, so a 9.6 would be about double that on the open market.

In July 2004, there was 1 copy at CGC 9.8 and 2 copies at CGC 9.6.
In December 2004, there were 2 copies at CGC 9.8 and 1 copy at CGC 9.6.

Re-submitting a book (with or without professional pressing) can be worth six figures.

Between June 2010 and August 2010, the number of CGC 9.4s went down by 1,
and the number of CGC 9.2s went up by 1. Is it possible a re-submission went bad? :hm:
