Yes, you missed the post in this very thread where George said he was going to start including ComicLink auctions in GPA starting with the last one that completed. so can i now offer my ASM #24 9.4 for $5k as below last GPA even tho there's one sitting on clink for $2700? some of the clink auction prices were so outlandish i'm not sure if this is more harm than good. avengers #9 cgc 9.2 anyone? Holy ...I just saw this book for sale on CL !!! Did I miss the memo when Wonderman overtook Cap in popularity? Since when is an Avengers #9, worth considerably more than Avengers #4? Jim well, $7500 is just an asking price. lunacy comes out of the woodwork after the most recent auction "sale" at $5600

i sense the need for a new forum- "hey buddy, can you spare a price?"- post your book and have people tell you what you should price it at. maybe someone has already suggested this- facetiously of course.

it's quite remarkable at how the multiples change starting in the low 140's. 9.2's for 10x guide in the 110's become 9.6's for 3x guide in the 140's. that's a bit of an exaggeration but not much.

kudos to: foolkiller, whoviane, susanville for easy transactions.

According to Doug in the dealer sales forum, they will appearing in the "Grand Auction" next month. thanks tim

2. ASM 121-122, I can only imagine what it would have been like to buy 121 off the newstands. Why couldn't they have killed someone else? #121-122: as someone who bought these off the newstand, this is the pinnacle. i can vividly recall the moment my friend peeked and blurted out the ending.

the #2 was eminently winnable- i paid more for my 9.2 and this one was nicer. i won bupkiss- thought for sure the third time around for the #4 i'd be the high bid but underbidder for third time in a row. i won't even remotely hang w/ what people are willing to shell out for 9.4's.

at the time the catalogue was printed, they were the highest or tied for highest graded copies. i don't feel they have an obligation to update the descriptions. maybe an attorney in the crowd has an opinion.

Great pick-up! It used to be a 9.4 with C-OW pages (old label) until the top right corner got caught in the slab`s inner seal and got torn off, which CGC regraded as a 9.0 when it was resubbed to them. It is an absolutely gorgeous book except for that missing corner. Whoever bought it on Heritage and then resold it here took an absolute bath. high grade silver age DC crashing!!! did this book really sell for $3k in 06? i believe there was some chatter that the bidders must've thought it was a 9.4. nice pickup jackcsco.

Yes and no. Prior to these big finds, if there was a book I really wanted which was the "highest census book" (ie: JLA #6 CGC 9.4)....I could see myself bidding very very aggressively to win it at all cost (thinking this is my only shot at having this book because there will never be another 9.4 or better book). But, now I'm not too sure about that. This may be the ONLY 9.4 or better copy or there could be a few more (possibly surfacing in the next 5-10 years as collections are being sold for various reasons). i think tim needs this book so you don't have to worry

those are incredible. for those of us that missed the first mention of this collection, could you catch us up. thanks cheetah

this should throw a bit of a wet blanket on the toth books

i think cheetah is implying he's seen or owns it- after seeing his books, who can doubt him? and i'd weigh in w/ $60k and it'd make the guy that's buying toth's book a little sick to the stomach

it's called a monopoly. don't like it- send your books to pgx and have them Juststopit.DoyouWANTastrike? up the grading and miss the resto.

how much more? last one sold for $29.9k. of course, that was a former 9.2. where's tim to correct me if i'm forgetting a few but i can think of two verified sales of silver age DC for north of $30k- the b&b #28 9.4 for $60k and a showcase #4 9.2 for $62k. Last 9.4 sold for $29900 3 years ago and that had questions around it. Last 9.2 sold for $27600 4 years ago. Going on a limb I'm thinking the 9.4 is worth much more than $30,000 at this point. i believe the 9.2 that sold 4 years ago and the 9.4 that sold 3 years ago were the same book in different slabs. it will be interesting but these ain't no marvels- again, it only takes two to tango (or as some have suggested, when it's a heritage auction it only takes one). the speculation is fascinating but the proof will be when the hammer comes down. i'll be watching

$30k $15k $10k assuming they're at least OW and don't have fugly miscuts/wraps. we'll know in one month's time what someone or sometwo believe the toth copy is worth.

I was thinking you guys should go for this! Any predictions on what it will go for? $25k. will be interesting to see which goes for more the jla #1 or the b&b #28.

are these different than toth's books?

They didn't notice the big white line cutting diagonally across the black corner? SCS. Btw, who are these buyers? vestbo? damn brits- they'll own this country by the tricentennial

I wonder how the Top 20 OSPG SA books would rank in terms of least available in 9.4+...? Any of them have fewer than 3? Rick flash 105 = 1 in 9.4 b&b 28 =1 in 9.4 GL 1 =1 in 9.4 Showcase 4 = 1 in 9.4 & 1 in 9.6

paging tim- is this the copy that used to be a 9.2? The e-mail I got from Heritage states that this is from an original owner collection...David Toth.....there is a new CGC 9.4 on the census so this must be it... Also on auction in May.... JLA #4 CGC 9.2 JLA #5 CGC 9.2 JLA #8 CGC 9.4 JLA #21 CGC 9.0 JLA #22 CGC 9.2 thanks You getting ready to be the underbidder again? someone's gotta do it.
