I don't think it would earn a 10 with a 1/2" tear on the back page! Really, I'm surprised that it even earned a 9.0 with such a visible defect. I inquired to be sure I wasn't seeing things and the seller replied by telling me that the comic book had been torn at the factory. So I guess in the world of comic book grading a factory-produced tear is equivalent to a printing defect? I suppose if that rip was owner-induced it would have graded lower. Sheesh!

As Kramer would say - "I'm out!"

Our 'native bias' aside, anyone want to share their feelings on which is the greater 'Holy Grail' - this Comic Book or the Gretsky Wagner?

I don't know how many original copies of the Comic Book have survived and I've heard at least four different totals for the Wagner. Input Requested.

The Gretsky Wagner card has long been assumed to be, by far, the Wagner in the best condition, but we have already heard of one Comic Book that may be better than this one.

The Wagner is 27-29 years older. Aside from that, what are your opinions?

[Mountaineer]

That comic is the equivalent to the t206 Honus Wagner in the comic collecting hobby. Such a nice piece and if I had extra cash to throw down on it, I would. Comics have risen in price the past few years as well so it could be a decent investment opportunity.

Here is an article talking about the auction. The only other Action Comics No. 1 with a CGC rating of 9.0 sold for $2.16 million in 2011. The seller was actor Nicholas Cage.

So how would you determine shilling on this? Serious question - I can only assume because of the number of bids from this buyer with this seller. Could also be totally legit - No?
