Roland.. they don't come that way from the publisher
what happens is some comic shops look for the "10.0"s and send those
off to get slabbed and sell for $75 and up
the hobby has become a joke to me, that's one of the reasons I
abandoned it, and I was one of the top echelon dealers. very top
to answer Phil:
It seems even weirder to me that you would pay that money completely
on trust that what it says it is on the outside is what it is on the inside...
well that's one o fthe things that CGC guarantees of course. their
job is to authenticate & grade as 3rd party entities
unfortunately, CGC has stocks owned by the biggest dealers in the
business, including Heritage (unless they've sold their stake) and
when you look at the grades assigned, at times it looks as if those
who we know do or did own stock got preferential grades
I hate it.. but I'm out of it for the most part. thankfully

I don't know why anyone would want to touch it anyway.
Well, that says a lot of things about some collectors. It seems very
strange to me that you pay a million bucks just to take possession
of it but you would never actually look at the contents. I collect
some first edition books and it would be ludicrous (to me) to think
of slabbing those. Part of the enjoyment and appreciation of owning
something like that is that you can actually read the entire book.

that is correct John
of course, for that price, I don't know why anyone would want to
touch it anyway.
ps.. we call them "coffin books"

One can indeed remove the book from its holder, however it would
make the 'grade' null-and-void for re-sell.
So, you pay 1 million bucks for a comic but you cant even look at
the inside pages - you only get to look at the front and back
covers. That really seems quite bizarre.

Re: Restored... yes indeed those restored copies are far less valuable!
