My CGC store category is showing up in my top five sales categories this month because of a record-breaking sale of Incredible Hulk #271 graded 9.8 by CGC. In fact, it made news at BleedingCool.com.
Number of listings on Atomic Avenue: 1,573,277 (-8.82%; +1.195%)
Number of those that are in the Cyberspace Comics Store on Atomic Avenue: 72,155 (-0.20%; +25.53%)

AtomicAvenue’s sharp decline in listings is very probably a direct reaction to their recent increase in fees of about 50%.
