  1. I can't find a post about this anywhere... When are the 2022 registry awards?
  2. I joined EBay in 2000. Had some painful battles against mammanook and tensense... never figured out who tensense was. I think mammanook was Geppi?
  3. I think we are going to see a pretty decent correction on all this stuff...
  4. What is the going price for a nice 9.8 W these days?
  5. Does anyone know anything about this "Palos Verdes Collection"? Does HA have a write up? A bunch of those books are my former copies...
  6. I only follow GA DC, so I'm not sure about the entirety of the Promise collection, but I saw prices down about 20-25% in the last auction. Random goofy DCs that scored a 9.6/9.8 achieved prices a few months ago that were just not sustainable. And sure enough the prices on similar books went down in the more recent auction.
  7. I think a lot of people have created the theory that he will pass the collection on to one or more heir... That idea gets complicated if we are talking $50M/100M+. The temptation to sell at that level is mighty high as another generation and possibly multiple heirs gets in the mix. Just my two cents.
  8. A little off topic, but I thought this was the best discussion to include this... It is rumored that DA once said he is not selling unless it was for a "life changing amount of money". Given the prices that his MH books would now command, I think we are at that level... Any chance we see DA's truly good stuff coming to market?
  9. I'm going to stick with my prediction of $5M. Although I think prices have indeed softened from their June highs as Gator said, I still think this will get to that very strong price. Or it could peeter out too... what do I know.
  10. Who is Yasha Yothi? "From the superhero Life Collection of Yasha Yothi"... Selling some nice Actions. I've never heard of that collector.
  11. My guess is 5. Seriously... possibly more.
  12. AF 15 9.6 coming to HA... any estimates? I’m going to say $5M easy... probably more.
  13. Check out the HA auction... and a ridiculous 9.8 ASM collection. Wonder who is selling? Any guesses as to the final price?
  14. So you told Theo to go for a Promise book? I believe if you buy a Promise book today, you are buying at a 5 year peak of hype right now. I suspect Promise books that are resold in the next 2 years will go for less than they do this week. It is an amazing collection for sure... But you might be paying a premium for the hype. Just my two cents... but what do I know...
  15. Is this happening this year? I haven't heard anything...
  16. This is very true. Many of those collectors have lost money in this hobby.
  17. This is a beautiful collection of books. I agree they are overgraded. (Check out the dust shadow on the back of the Tec 114 9.8.) However, CGC has been 9.8 GA happy for a few years now. I think many books are now rewarded for the cost of the CGC process.
  18. Comparing those two books .. although both 9.8, the $6500 looked tighter. Check out the right edge of the $5200 version.
  19. That double cover ASM 9.8 newsstand would go crazy at auction right now... seriously is $50k out of the question? I would put an estimate of 35-50...
  20. What's the going price for ASM 300 CGC 9.8 W in Newstand these days?...
  21. Yes. I agree. The card people don't know what a snipe bid is... It's crazy exuberance. 1980s, 1990s, 2000s PSA 10s are not that rare. "Chrome refractor"... I don't really know what that means.
