Am with you on the NM/M distinction, but if appealing to comic grading & pricing a truly Mint (10.0) copy should cost 5 or more times a NM (9.4) one, not virtually the same... (*lol*)*points to the CGC debacle...* (and even they don't go as hyper over trashing the lower grades)

DCSIII's is a (TRUE) 1st print and I advertised it as such in the auction. It was primarily on David's word that I knew it to be a 1st print. At the time of the auction the Acaeum still considered it a 2nd Alpha. With my new chronology it turns out to be a 1st, just as I advertised in the auction. ...Scott was under the impression that it had the MM pages bound into it, i.e., it was a 2nd Alpha. That was not the case. Apparently he has not had a chance to update his information.

I see a Tsoj with some minor wear, rubbing, maybe a few folds, and it goes for $600-$800, depending on the buyer. One with no noticeable flaws is $800-$1,000. It really is an easy way to do it, and no one can say "You fucked me, you said it was Fine+ and it's only Fine-."
