Thats a great price and it helps justify the recent 4.0 sale and 4.5 sale mentioned above.

There is a new sale listed in GPA on 2/26/21 for $38,250 for a 4.5.

I think that sale and some of the others that are mentioned above in this thread show that the book is going up.

Here is my 4.5 with no chipping that is nicely centered (at least I think it is):

 

Very nice book!  There are exceptions, of course, but I have noticed chipping more common on well-centered covers.  But every book is different and nice as well!

The 4.0 that just sold was very nicely centered without chipping.  Probably why it went for such a good price.  

I am mixed on Marvel Chipping.  My AF 15 has it, my Hulk 1 and FF1 and X-Men 1 do not.  The thing I have noticed with AF15 is chipping is that it seems like a lot of the books with Marvel Chipping tend to be better centered.  Mine has chipping but is perfectly centered.  There are exceptions but a lot of AF15s without chipping are off centered and ones with chipping seems to be better centered.  My son also noticed this.  Anyone ever notice this as well?

An Amazing Fantasy 15 in CGC 4.0 just sold for $35,850 on Hakes auctions!  Another really strong sale.

Hake's - AMAZING FANTASY #15 AUGUST 1962 CGC 4.0 VG (FIRST SPIDER-MAN).

True..but at least the price is going  up over the past 2 years.

There were sales of two cgc 4.5s in January for 38,400 and then 32,500.  Based on this, I believe a 5.0 should be close to 40k right now.  I also own a 5.0!

Even the 4.0 went for 29,751 tonight.

It went for 566k

Gocollect seems to miss a lot of sales.  I recently emailed them about a Hulk 1 in cgc 5.0 that sold on comiclink for 20,350.  They said they were having difficulty recently obtaining comiclink sales.  This sale is still not showing and there are lots more as well that are missing.  I enjoy their site and subscribe to it but wish it was more up to date and inclusive.  

Beautiful book!  Enjoy it!

I do the same. I rely on GPA but also check prices for similar books on Comic Connect, Clink, MyComicShop, High Grade Comics, etc. If it's a major purchase or sale I'll check GoCollect as well.

Gets tricky with books that haven't had a recent sale recorded on GPA. Like Hulk 1 CGC 5.0. Last sale was $16k more than a year ago. What's the value of that book now? I'm sure it's quite a bit higher.

 

There was a Hulk 1 in CGC 5.0 that sold about a month ago in acomiclink auction for $20,350.  I sent Gocollect the sale and they said they have had some diffciulty getting information from Comiclink lately.

Where did the Strange Tales in cgc 6.5 sell for 5,850?

Fantastic Four 1 in cgc 5 0 sold for $24K on Heritage tonight.  I hope this is a sign that this book is heating up again!

I am currently in my 30 day trial... so I can see everything and, frankly, I really like what I can see. The main limitation is the lack of historic data beyond recent history. I haven’t looked into this deeply, but it seems to relate to the volume of sales. If you’re looking at a book that has a lot of recent sales, you’ll see those. If it last sold three years ago, you’ll see that.  So there is some limitation on the historic data... possibly due to the limitations of the data made available to them via the selling house, such as eBay. 

When you are on a free account, you can still see an amazing range of data - such as fair market value for a book and that there have been X number of sales recently... but you can’t see the individual sales data that determined the FMV calculation. You can also still drill down to see things like % change in FMV, live listings on eBay, hottest comics data etc etc... 

To be honest, and at the risk of mentioning something that I hope GoCollect don’t change, I think GoCollect could entice more people to subscribe if more data and features were hidden behind the subscription. 

GoCollect really is an excellent service. While the detailed sales data is very desirable, frankly I think the biggest benefit of subscription is that it helps support the company and keep them here as a resource for collectors. 

I have both GPA and GoCollect.  They each of their advantages and disadvantages.  To me, the biggest weakness of GPA is the lack of Comiclink sales.  Many good books are sold in Comiclink auctions at good prices that never make GPA.    For GoCollect, they are very inconsistent posting sales.  For example, say 10 books sell in a ComicLink auction, go collect might post 3 or 4 sales within a few days while the others might never appear.  The same holds true for Ebay and Heritage sales in GoCollect.  I use them both regularly as I want as much informaiton as possible when purchasing a book.

Is a hulk 1 starting to move again?  Last night on Comiclink.

The 4.0 was a good sale and a 4.5 closed on heritage a few days ago for $38,400 and it had some chipping.  Hopefully, this book is fianlly coming back!!

An hour in and at 20K already.I am sure a few people still have tracking bids to place on it.

The book is nice but it is very tanned, especially the back cover.  I think thats why it got a 4.0.

I am a subscriber to Marvel Unlimited and DC Universe but didnt keep track of my reading last year.  I will this year.  Sounds like fun!
