Hi there,
I've been a little perplexed with some values I've noticed on some books where the Raw value is actually higher than the Graded value of books that are in 8.5 or lower condition. For example, Detective Comics #880 (Regular edition-2011), the value for a Raw copy in 8.5 is about $20 more than a Graded copy also in 8.5. And this is consistent all the way down the grading scale to 0.5. I would think that if you have it professionally graded and slabbed, that copy would have more value if anything. The only thing I could rationalize is that professionally graded copies are marketed toward collectors and there just isn't a market for anything under a 8.5 grade for their collections unless it's a key Golden/Silver Age book. Can someone provide additional insight? Thanks!

I looked at that issue because that is unusual. We made a mistake with the issues below 8.5, that has been fixed now. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
