<\/a><\/p>\nFirst off, as with a lot of the other data we have looked at for Fantastic Four<\/a> and Thor<\/a>, there is a clear anomaly with the data on issue 33. \u00a0It has all the hallmarks of a book that was subject to a warehouse find – a far greater number of 9.8 issues than neighboring numbers, and a lot more books in higher grade overall. \u00a0The case is strengthened by noting that nothing really important happened in this issue and that the Guide 9.2 price is fairly low compared to surrounding books.<\/p>\n There is more to take away here, but these are the two main points. \u00a0If you have a GP Analysis subscription, it’s worth comparing this data to current 12 month average prices realized. \u00a0The GP data correlates rather well to the conclusions drawn here.<\/p>\n Until nest time…<\/p>\n P.S. \u00a0Looking for Silver Age Amazing-Spider Man in CGC 9.0 or better?<\/a> One of the things that I have learned in writing this blog is that there is an enormous amount of data out there to draw from. \u00a0I have only touched on a few titles so far, and there are many, … Continue reading <\/a>Another thing I see here concerns the more sought after issues 23 and 28. \u00a0Issue 23 was the third Green Goblin, and he is on the cover. \u00a0Issue 28 is the origin and first appearance of Molten Man. \u00a0Each book is collectible for those reasons alone, so one would expect a bump in CGC submissions for grade and a corresponding bump in higher grade copies. \u00a0But, we don’t see that here. \u00a0The take-away? \u00a0These books are popular AND not very common in high grade…two things that will make these books fairly pricey to get in high grade. \u00a0Interestingly, if you look at the number of books graded CGC 6.0 or higher for issues 23 and 28, each issue has more graded copies than issues 24-27. \u00a0So…a lot of books have been submitted, but not a lot of high grades awarded. \u00a0For issue 28 this is likely explained by the black cover. \u00a0As to issue 23, I am not sure why there are relatively few high grade copies out there.<\/p>\n
