The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
Direct Asset Application (Superman: The Man of Steel #37):Standard third-party slabbing fees and insurance average $45–$65 per book. At an entry valuation of $80.00, the grading expense represents a substantial built-in subsidy, providing downside protection against raw comic volatility.

At Centennial Park, Jeb Friedman is taunting Clark Kent in front of Lois Lane, while Babe Tanaka’s “Children of the Night” concert is being setup. Lois and Clark leave and start to head back to the Daily Planet, when Clark sees a message signalled to him in morse code.
He changes into Superman and heads up to a roof where he meets Batman. Batman says that he is there to warn him that there might be a time anomaly causing people from the past to appear in the present. Superman mentions his broken back, and Batman says he never broke his back. Meanwhile in space, a Kryptonian vessel is speeding its way towards Earth.
Jimmy Olsen and Ron Troupe arrive at the concert grounds excited for the concert to begin. While the new group Riot Girrrls are stopped by a bouncer from visiting Babe in her trailer.
A group of Mutants arrive and attack Jeb Friedman hoping to stop the concert and the funds it will attract towards the rebuilding of Metropolis. A second Batman arrives. He stops the Mutants and encounters Superman with the other Batman. He also mentions the time anomaly.
After Superman briefly searches for Emil Hamilton, to no avail, a third Batman arrives and also talks about a time confusion. As the first Batman discusses the anomaly he quickly morphs into the 1994 Kelley Jones Batman.
As the concert begins, Perry White and his wife are sitting with Keith, trying to enjoy the music, when Keith thinks he sees his real mom and runs after her.
A Mutant sniper shoots Babe on stage! Superman and the three versions of Batman jump into action to stop the Mutants, including a large tank! Babe continues on with the concert and as part of her finale turns into a large vampire bat and flies off. Jimmy Olsen, her friend, goes backstage with Ron to hang out with her, and he compliments her on the great special effects of her show.
Superman takes the Batmen to Emil Hamilton to see if he can discover what is going on. They continue to morph and then eventually vanish, as Superman hears a high pitch signal. He leaves to investigate.
Back at Centennial Park, Jeb is still badmouthing Clark to Lois. Jeb invites Lois to travel to Paris with him, since she can’t decide whether she prefers Clark or Superman. Lois assures Jeb that she’s happy with Clark. He advises her to marry Clark quickly as only that will stop Jeb from coming back and convincing Lois to marry Jeb. Jimmy says his goodbyes to Babe, who seems sad.
Superman arrives at the location of Batman’s signal. Batman also mentions the time anomaly as Metron appears and warns of a cosmic crisis!
The Kryptonian vessel arrives at the Kent farm in Smallville. When Jonathan Kent answers the door, he is surprised to see Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van! They mistake him for Kal-El and tell him they’ve come to take him home.
