The Tec 29 went for $66k and I was personally hoping for more, mostly bc I own a 2.5 copy. The last 3.5 went for $64,501 in 2018. This book hasn't really broken out yet which surprises me, as I think it has so much going for it.

oh man, great pickup!

Have you tried them for books and recommend? Thanks

I wouldn't be coming to this forum if I wasn't a long term boardie, and desperate for options. In short, I no longer have space to store my books in my residence due to growing family needs. Is anyone aware of any luxury storage places that can vault high end books anywhere in the US? The only place I am familiar with is UOVO Art, and after touring their facility in San Francisco, I was not impressed. They simply cater to an art audience and do not have an adequate facility for collectibles. Outside of luxury car storage options, I am not finding any facilities that cater to high value collectibles and the like. Any suggestions welcome and greatly appreciated. Basically need a space that can accommodate the equivalent of 10 long boxes under the highest security. If I could put a safe in my residence I would but I simply can't. Thanks

That's a great looking book at a terrific price. If I wasn't holding a 9.4 I would be all over this copy. Nothing but upside on the book, good luck

Curious to see where this copy ends up. The consigner bought this off cc for $6300 on 6/8/23 and now the book is offered in the current Goldin Jan Elite auction which closes in five days. It's interesting that the consigner chose to go with Goldin on the sale, as I think that platform is a bit less established for comics and presents a bit more risk than putting the book on HA or clink. I wouldn't have flipped the book on Goldin, but maybe it will be a good call. I'm curious to see where this book ends up as it's a great but one that really speaks to a certain type of buyer.

nice to meet you, bro

I like Swagglehouse and maybe he's on the boards, I don't know. That video though was a real reach. There are easier ways to launder money then to get involved in niche golden age books. Maybe there are some nerdy crooks out there, but that video was a bit much. If you want to launder the cash, you don't have to overpay for a book. Just buy an expensive book at fair market value. The whole premise is flawed.

As someone that regularly consigns to HA, money is money and I don't care who the buyer is

Any ideas why this book sold wildly way above recent comps?

Comics didn't go to zero in this auction. It's going to be a good year for us.

I think that is a correlation that will be hard to make. In the HA Sig, the Hulk 9.2 is already at a record breaking price if it sold today at 360k (w/BP). Prices overall will be all over the map on these numerous lots. I would hope CGC is not making business decisions that impact customer security based on ebbs and flows of major auction house prices, and I don't think they are.

May I ask why the name isn't shared?

7mins into this video and this youtuber still hasn't said a damn thing about anything, but glad to hear all the shout outs to people I don't know or care about

Great to see another boardie with a youtube channel, there's not many of us. I just subscribed
