 What about issues selling for too much as I have just looked at the Lyria Exchange and they have Moon girl and Devil Dinosaur number 1 at a 9.8 going for $93 currently. Take away the cost of the case which would be about $40 and you have people willing to pay $53 plus shipping for this comic book.


It's about how rare something is...I won't bother looking up Moon Girl but Devil Dinosaur is going on 40 years old and only 1 -- 9.9 exists in the CGC word (census...see attached if it works first time posting not sure if I attached it right). To own the second highest of something for $53 (plus $40 to certify it...and not wait 4 months - current wait time) is really not that bad of a price. I recently purchased a book from the mid 1960's (non key...just an average book) that is a 9.8 and is the highest and ONLY copy for that issue at a 9.8....I researched similar books from that era and and title and NO 9.9'S OR 10'S EXIST (for the key issues which like Fantastic Four #52 come out of the woodwork to certify and last I heard there are 5-9.8's...again no 9.9 or 10.0). In other words in 5 or 50 years, I will still own the highest known copy to exist...so what if 5 more 9.8's show up.... I will be tied for the highest and I won it for only $100
