RATING: Not Rated

Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Book #2 (1992) CPR Math: Raw ($9.13) + $97.00 Hurdle → 9.8 ($41.09)

ISSUE-SPECIFIC MONETARY ANALYSIS (Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Book #2):1. Negative Raw-to-Slab Spread: Acquiring Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Book #2 raw at **$9.13** and paying **$97.00** in grading/pressing fees creates a **$106.13** cost basis—exceeding the **$41.09** CGC 9.8 FMV (**$10.25** net after selling friction) by **-$95.88 (-90%)**.2. Replacement-Cost Arbitrage: Because physical encapsulation costs more than the secondary 9.8 market price, submitting single raw copies destroys capital via sunk cost friction.3. Optimal Capital Allocation: Either hold ungraded raw copies at **$9.13** for low-basis optionality, or buy an already-certified **CGC 9.8** directly on the secondary market around **$41.09** (letting the previous owner absorb the $97.00 grading fee).

Purchasing Guidance & Market Reality ($9.13 – $41.09)

SECONDARY LIQUIDITY & FLOAT STRUCTURE:• BUYER EXECUTION PLAN: Do not pay $97.00 to slab raw copies; purchase already-certified **CGC 9.8** slabs near **$41.09** (a **$65.04 discount** to physical replacement cost) or accumulate raw copies at **$9.13**.• CENSUS & PRINT RUN FLOAT: Surviving supply is governed by Modern Age distribution and collector retention.• REALIZED VELOCITY: Current secondary order-book pricing anchors at **$9.13** (RAW), **$15.61** (CGC 9.6), and **$41.09** (CGC 9.8).

Liquidity Discount Recovery & Slabbing SubsidyValuation Reference

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 (Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Book #2):Standard third-party slabbing fees and insurance average $45–$65 per book. At an entry valuation of $9.13, the grading expense represents a substantial built-in subsidy, providing downside protection against raw comic volatility.
