Strange Tales Collecting Thread !
Microchip replied to Frederic9494's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Thats a tough one to find in grade, well done -
In the not quite there category of this thread. this result still proved to be quite impressive. Doug said (shortly after telling this book) that it would only grade out as a 9.8, but the arguments on 9.8's vs 9.9 copy's of SA books is a never ending tale. We'll take this result at face value. Face value of the slab, or book, the result still stands.

Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Thread!
Microchip replied to Readcomix's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
In recent news we have the NF#1 9.9 that went up for sale at HA. Things started off very tame on the bidding, but the final result exceeded a lot of expectations. Let's see how this impacts #1 issues, they have been on steady rise for the last few years. No pandemic hyperbolic jumps, and now after that period, the book continues to climb. H -
Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Thread!
Microchip replied to Readcomix's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Looking at the census for these books, it looks like there was a good number of #4's stashed away back in the day. A lot of high-grade copies have surfaced, and prices have continued to rise steadily. Issues #3, and 5 ave stayed low since the early days of CGC. There's some really hard to find books in this run. It's interesting to see whats come out of collections... or not, after 20 years of CGC data. -

Speaking with Harley, this should have been $8-9m, if it was sold 24 months earlier.

Silver Age Comics Are Still Falling ?
Microchip replied to Colin Nash's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I'd say they have fallen, not falling. It looks like the bottom position is now. -

Are prices still climbing or have they eased up a bit???
Microchip replied to InfantTerrible's topic in Comics General
It's great to see this topic being discussed, and covered, but I do feel the writer of the article really missed the big points around subjects he pulled up. The easiest of them is UF4. The has been a seismic phenomenon in the hobby in recent years, and one largely driven by younger collectors vs older 'traditional' collectors. CGC census numbers are ballooning with new modern submissions in extraordinary numbers, and this has been happening for over a decade now. There's no shortage of very strong factors pointing towards a large contingent of new collectors. The covid years were part of a significant recruitment drive as sports card prices drove collectors to look outside of that hobby. And comics have had the softest landing post the covid hyper price period. -

Microchip replied to InfantTerrible's topic in Comics General
The books the younger/less affluent buyers have been chasing are now turning into modern era keys. They drive this part of the market, and the characters coming through, who is going to be the next Wolverine etc. This generation, and social media has made 'hot' characters as a democratic process. -

Microchip replied to InfantTerrible's topic in Comics General
Movies are a gateway drug In terms of American culture, and it's default impact on the global culture, comics are right up there with the biggest contributions in the modern landscape. We have perennial characters heading towards 100 years of existence in Batman, and Superman, and now thanks to the movies Captain American has joined the list. The first two completely embedded in multiple generations psyche as cultural characters, known and enjoyed. The big element are conventions. Going to any convention these days, they are predominantly filled with young people, interacting with comic related media in various forms. Will a 100% of them turn into devout comic collectors, most certainly not, but will some of them, absolutely. -
