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.
Plastic Man appears to die when a barrel of TNT goes off during a battle with a pair of crooks. Woozy finds his friend's body and the calling card of the two villainous magicians responsible. He sets out to prove his mettle as a detective and track down the villains who finally did in Plastic Man, managing to miss numerous clues to their identities. Even when he breaks the fourth wall and gets Jack Cole to do a police sketch of the perps. Woozy promises to repay Cole by having him follow and write about whatever happens in his next comic. At a nightclub, Woozy starts throwing around counterfeit money to make himself look like a high-roller to lure out the thieves. It works, but they realize his money's fake, and start raising magical havoc in revenge. Woozy runs into Plastic Man's hospital room, just when the hero wakes up. Woozy tells him Abba and Dabba were knocked out by the explosion too, and taken into custody. Woozy's whole adventure was just a dream Plastic Man was having while convalescent.

CGC, CBCS, PSA Universal certified high-grade specimens (9.8 / 9.6 / 9.4). The gold standard for institutional alternative investment.
Official witnessed creator-signed slabs (Yellow label). Valued based on creator historical stature and inscription provenance.
Certified specimens from landmark historical collections (Edgar Church / Mile High, White Mountain, Kansas City, Pacific Coast).

Exclusively allocated copies requiring retailer orders of 1:25, 1:50, 1:100, or 1:500 standard copies. Immediate manufactured scarcity.
Unslabbed collector copies inspected under standard Overstreet physical guidelines. The primary pool for grading arbitrage.
Alternative artistic interpretations, virgin covers, metal foil, and convention exclusives with dedicated collector followings.
