That much more of a congratulations is needed on you and your son's accompaniment!!

Makes it pretty much priceless you both have worked on it together as Father and Son.

Soft prices on the lower grades. Market correction?

Four copies sold last night in the Clink auction:

 

CGC 6.5 OW-W (old label) = $33,120

CGC 4.0 W = $10,349

CGC 3.5 OW-W = $8,379

CGC 3.0 OW-W = $7,501

 

Maybe it is me, but these prices (while still strong compared to two years ago) seem to be down a tick from earlier in the year. Is this my imagination?

How do you block someone? How do I search eBay users? I cant seem to find the tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

$68.5k for a 7.5.

 

A nice 8.0 could be $100k.

Rick, I have another question.

Hypothetically.... an AF15 9.8 hits the market tomorrow. What is the hammer price in an auction setting?

I think in 5 years, Tec 27 overtakes Action 1. Fairly obvious reasons

Rick, whats your opinion on the top 5 most expensive books in the hobby???

 

Are they all Tec 27/ A1s or does the cap 1 9.8 AA16 9.6 slip in there?

 

I feel the 5 more "valuable" known books in the hobby are

 

Mile High action 1 (raw)

Allentown tec 27 (raw)

9.2 w page tec 27 (cgc)

9.0 w page action 1 (cgc)

9.0 c/ow page action 1 (cgc)

 

the 9.8 cap 1 is pushing the top 5 for sure.... the 9.4 aa 16 wouldn't even make top 10...

Interesting, I figured as much. As for AA16, not even top10? It has scarcity on its side. I would assume its a million dollar book for sure.. Cap 1 has picked up major steam, so I was wondering if it would grab the 5 slot. I guess he has more work to do on the big screen.

I have just picked up a nice group of Spideys and am especially happy with these two so thought would post them here:

 

 

 

That 28 is insane!!

Does this book look familiar to any of you? I'll explain my reasons later.

 

saw something similar to this shopped around in a fake slab on Facebook

not similar, same book

Got this back from CGC recently. I had this down as a VF-, so the assigned grade was quite a surprise.

 

Everyones a DD fan now. Oh geez.

Finally joined the Elite clubhouse! Took awhile, But I got there! No writing, Date Stamps or Marvel Chipping and solid page quality! It'll be here in a few days.

 

 

By any measure that it is a mighty solid copy. Congrats.

 

-J.

4k a point now... Geez

I finally purchased a book that has been on the top of my want list for a long time. I originally wanted a fn/vf, but the book's price has been on the rise lately and thus I went with a nice fn.

 

Any predications on the upcoming af15cgc7.5 comiclink auction. Over 65k or under $65k

yo guys new to the board but I've been lurking for a while! I'm in the club too

 

definitely my #1 comic in the collection.

 

My newest and current keeper copy, the best combo of wrap/PQ/gloss etc I have ever held in my hand from the couple dozen copies or so I have seen in person. The picture doesn't do it justice.

 

 

Unpressed, probably goes at least 5.0 on a straight resub under current standards(maybe even 5.5.)

Movie hype question (that has nothing to do with ST110, but has DS169 so I thought I'd put it here).

 

Question: If someone gave you a choice of a 9.8 copy of:

Doc Strange 169

Ms Marvel 1

Marvel Preview 4

 

Which one would you take?

Doc Strange 169 of course (because you're reading a ST110 thread).

 

It seems like it would be a slam dunk, but the surprising thing is, value wise MP4 is equal to DS169 right now and MM1 seems to be gaining fast.

 

DS169

9.8.....census = 30 copies.........value $3500

9.6.....census = 72 copies.........value $1100

 

MP4

9.8.....census = 42 copies.........value $3300

9.6.....census = 42 copies.........value $1150

 

MsM1

9.8.....census = 50 copies.........value $2650

9.6.....census = 175 copies.......value $600

 

Can MM1 keep climbing? You know that within a few months we'll be seeing many more 9.6 & 9.8s on it's census.

 

Can DS169 keep growing in value? I think so. And it's high grade census numbers aren't going to change all that much.

 

MP4 kind of surprises me. In my personal collection I could never keep my mags in good condition because of their awkward size. And yet the census shows more 9.8s of MP4 than of DS169.

 

Of Course it's nice to know that ST 110 trumps all of these. And is still climbing

3.0 did well, even with all the ct removal and that 5.5 broke 21k.... Wow.

the comic market caps at a certain level because most high rollers don't collect comics. unlike on sub million dollar books where you can get multiples based on a small grade bump, unfortunately on mega expensive comics the dollars and interest in the books falls short well before the assigned grade. you have a relative small number of WEALTHY comic collectors to begin with and then an even infinitesimally smaller group that have millions to throw on comics (i could count them on less than two hands).

 

if dave anderson was offered $5 million for his AC1 it was stephen fishler who offered him that amount. nobody else in comic land has that kind of cash (much less interest) on hand.

 

this tec27 9.2 won't go for anymore than 9.0 AC1 did several weeks ago.

 

Don't be so certain that other members of comic land couldn't pay $5 million or more, if they were so inclined, for Dave's comic

 

show me some evidence. right now there is none.

 

 

Harvard has insight into everyone's bank accounts/liquidity.

 

This guy supposedly graduated from the Harvard Business School. Yet in another thread he showed he was ignorant of the fact that China began adopting a market system decades ago.

 

The rise of the Chinese economy has affected every aspect of business -- from finance to marketing to management to macroeconomics. No one who actually completed the Harvard curriculum would be unaware of this fact.

 

My suggestion is to ignore this buffoon.

His posting style and attitude reminds me of Harold Fuller.

Maybe he did visit Harvards campus once or twice.. Another good possibility is he was in the movie "How High" with method man and redman as a prop. So then technically he did go to Harvard.

Maybe the 9.2 is bangzooms!
