Haha. There is absolutely no reason this comic should sell for this much. Heritage Auctions is obviously trying to rip people off.

Wandavision is fantastic. It even made me want to go back and watch the Avengers movies again. I love Age of Ultron.

I found CPG's system of putting Annuals, Specials, and GS as tabs under the main title confusing at first but I think it is the right way to go now that I am used to it. It makes it much easier when entering many books.

Golden Age Batmans sell well coverless. They grade as a .3

I have been requesting that CPG add .3 to the grading list for when we input issues.

I liked it from the start and I like it more now. Reminds me of the X-Files.

Why no coverless grade of .3?

I agree with #5 and coverless books. Prices vary too widely, especially on old keys, and I don't think there's that many being sold to get a good handle on them, or an algorithm that would be semi-accurate. The vast majority are worthless anyway.

I disagree. Coverless comics are a serious branch of the hobby, especially when we are talking about Golden Age books or Silver Age keys that are too expensive to own in Good or better. It is not hard to price them as .3. The algorithm is 15% of the value of a 2.0 of the same issue. They will still likely be undervalued as most of the low grade keys and Golden Age books are on this site but at least we will be able to enter them correctly.

It seems like the decisions are being made by people who don't collect Golden Age so they don't appreciate the value of coverless comics from that era. Even a Silver Age book like Detective Comics 225 will sell for $1000 coverless.

If you divide 2.0 by .3 you get 15%.

226-1033

I have another 50 comics below those

225 is so out of reach. This destroyed copy sold for a ridiculous amount last week.
