Mr. 10%

IF the gut feeling actually holds up, ie. that there is indeed 300 copies of tec27 and 300 of A1. Then we are looking at a rather amazing collector 'discipline are'nt we?'. I mean if there is a total of 600 books in existence; and an average holder of one of these books could cash in around 400 Kish (average price for 1 item of the population) - then it is rather amazing that almost no one seems to be actively looking to sell any of these 600 items? If I had 400 K lying around I wouldnt be posting here. I'd be on the phone to Comic Connect or Heritage. Thats for sure

...GOD BLESS...

1G will buy you a nice 9.4

It's the 100K question isn't it? One one hand it sure feels real, the books we love really are desired and scarcish collectibles with wider and wider public acceptance. But we all know too well that the industry, if not the hobby, gets narrower and narrower each year -- even given the success of the movies.

does not compute:

how does 'reaaly desired scrce collectibles with wider and wider public acceptance'

translate to

'hobby gets narrower and narrower each year' .

?

How's this for a group shot ?

 

Here's a few earlier Detective Comics

 

 

HOLY sheiit

I think Pep #22 is arguably a top 10 book. It's on part with Action #7 and Tec #31 but sales happen to rarely it's tough to plot a trajectory, especially in this market where everything seems impossible to predict.

 

But if past sales are any indicator, it's a top 10 book .

 

Archie #1 is a bit more common.

I think grade for grade a tec 31 and action 7 would out perform pep 22, but likely not by much...that's why I would consider it a "top 10" book...I just chose 2 books (as8 and whiz 1) that I think are still due for larger pricing increases... not sure pep 22 will have a "large" increase relatively speaking, over next few years

so you see whiz 1 spiking as we approach movie release ...?

Dear Gator,

 

Has Tec #31 surpassed Batman #1 in FMV?

 

Currently, what are the Top-10 most valuable GA books?

not even close. Batman 1 in 5.0 would be about 180-200k and tec 31 in 5.0 about 125... as an example.

 

 

Too 10 ga books still much the same (this list in no particular order)

Action 1

Tec27

Superman 1

Batman 1

Cap 1

Marvel 1

Action 7

Tec 31

 

 

 

 

 

do you see the margin narrowing between supe1 / bat1? (cf. the heritage sale)

 

this could be yours for $18k. don't know if it would allow admittance to the club or you'd have to start your own "Incredible Stan Lee #181" thread

Tec 27 5.0

 

http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=693838

 

 

 

And the price doesn't seem completely unreasonable fir a blue label 5.0 either.

 

House or Tec 27 decisions decisions. Very tough!

not tough at all---Tec 27

nope : house !

Dear Gator:

 

Should I seek counselling for my compulsion to acquire vintage collectibles, or should I continue devoting the money I'd spend on counselling to acquire more vintage comics and other memorabilia? I'm leaning to the latter course of action.

 

its a good addiction...run with it!

I know of a so called "comic-shrink".

They usually know how to deal with such compulsions

I will gladly relay this info to any Gothamites in need.

just PM me.

Tec 28 blue label 8.5? Seriously...?

 

OMG. That will be one to watch.

 

Please stop watching

 

Kidney sold ! Ready to bid !

before you decide to strip yourself of vital organs, please dont overlook the following crucial feature in #28

BATMAN DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE COVER !

jimmy 134 rocks

Nice 9.4!

yup

old label goodness

hold on to that sweetie

such bastiche ...

It'll certainly cause some wallet-hurt

are we looking at universal or plod copies?

Wonder Woman #1 seems to have overtaken Sensation Comics #1 in value. Do you see this as sustainable long term trend?

 

Also, sorry for a silly question, but what is a "Voldy" book?

 

Thanks!

he is referring to the infameous Voldemort holder.

and thats is one big can of worms....

Tec 28 8.5

Tec 29 3.5

Tec 30 7.0

Tec 31 4.5

Tec 32 3.5

Tec 33 1.5

Tec 34 2.5

Tec 35 3.0

Tec 36 4.5

Tec 38 4.0

 

All in ComicConnect's upcoming auction

a completist headed for the exit? dude unloading a run like that should cause some butthurt?

Voldemort Inc.

CBCS 9.6 grade guaranteed for all Ext PLODS !

Buy today

Flip tomorrow ...

hands down marvel 1 / cap 1 is a no brainer imho.

cap 17 days a week...

one cant help but wonder why CBCS chose exactly Voldemort as their stewart or sigil ...?

Submit a Harry Potter 1st edition to CBCS and theyl give you a grade bump ...

Are volde stocks pure blue chip or what?

 

I was asking for

Daredevil 1, cgc 9.4

 

He said no and wanted my books, plus $2500

 

The poor thing was obviously "stan-lee'd".

That kinda accounts for the 2500 imho.

 

, not a fan of the signature series?

 

Yes, it would appear that a signature increases the value of an otherwise worthless common drek book.

 

When it comes to a true vintage collectible comic book, however, a signature is probably treated more like a clear and visual defect by the marketplace.

 

Probably one of the reasons why the signed 8.5 copy of AF 15 in the most recent HA auction managed to sell for only something like more than a $35K discount to the condition guide price.

Its a no-brainer: Id never get a HG grail signed.

And when it comes to "stan-lee'd" books: I will completely shut up. End of rant.

FF1 9.0 sold for 132K on ComicConnect last night (at auction)

Holy Sheiit ...
