    True, a barn find with 17 original miles and intact paint is going to be worth more than a concours level restoration, but that's the exception. I learned to drive on a '66 mustang that my dad bought brand new and drove until 2010. The amount of interest that car got was tremendous.

    There's a fundamental difference though. A vintage car doesn't work with a busted header or cam. Maintenance and repair is expected on most cars over time, so it makes sense to restore them to preserve functionality.

    Those weren't my books

    This looks like the same general origin story as half of the superhero movies out there.

    30 years passing makes it more true that this is the leading edge of second generation collections?
  8. buttock
    A book could be written about all the issues with that collection.

    Can we start with the 80s B&W box?

    This is what everyone said in the 1990s when the More Fun collection came out.

    Cool story, now show us a picture of it.

    Oh good lord, that's being censored now?!?

    I like pie.

    There is a documentary about this, free on tubi now. To be honest, it's probably longer than it needs to be and not the most enthralling, but worth watching nonetheless. https://tubitv.com/movies/562030/kirby-at-war

    Close enough to make CC seem like a worse place to sell.

    I had a good chunk of items in this auction, they sold for 100.6% of my pre-auction estimate. Last time I consigned in 2018 it was more like 150%. Either I've gotten better at estimating results or the market has become less silly. Now to be fair, I wasn't really that close on any one item, just as a whole they happened to total up to that sum. For comparison's sake, I had a similar amount on comicconnect and got 88.9% of expected.

    Web of Mystery 8 in 7.0 for $6600. Good lord.

    Psychoanalysis 3 in 9.2 just under $6k... WTF?

    Is this the one from ebay?
  21. buttock
    Good point, that 20 year cycle is probably more than we should have expected.

    I don't think the quality of the movies (generic term for all of the TV/movies/etc.) has much of an impact on prices, because most of the run up happens before the release. Then prices retract after the movie regardless of whether or not it's good. However, the number of movies, and the fact that many are now sequels probably affects the run-up. Nobody is getting excited about FF52 because of Wakanda Forever, that happened already with Black Panther, most other MCU/DCU movies are sequels at this point. Not to mention the number of movies is down because of Covid. Without those speculative run-ups, the amount of spending money in the hands of flippers is lower, and that seems to trickle over to other prices.

    It's crazy that this seemed a little soft, yet after just the platinum session we're at over $7.5M, which would have been a smash total signature auction just a few years ago.

    I totaled the prices before live bidding and after. For the OA Platinum session prices only went up an average of 20% during live bidding. For the Platinum Comics session it was 37%.
