NM 98 is a good call, I forgot about that one.
The interesting part is I can see a NS 88 going for more than a #1 NS of the same title. Though issue 8 is super strong right now, for just being a classic cover and FOMO driving prices.

I haven't, and I have a decent chunk of Wolvie newsstands. Speaking of Wolverine, 88 could be a candidate, and Origins 10. But I feel like I'm just naming big keys in newsstand as opposed to "newsstand grails" like UF4.
Would Batman 457 2nd print newsstand be considered modern or copper? That would be a good one...
I think you're right. I can see 88 joining NM 98. The regular issues prices are all softening at the moment, and the NS editions are only climbing. NS is the clear winner in these huge population key books.

Well this seems excessive. Maybe a couple of people typoed when they were putting in bids.
No not really, I sold the 9.2 Don Rosa copy for $400+ this year. Wrightson is gold right now, in any and all contributions,

Dune 1984, those numbers have to be ignoring 30 years of rentals, and subsequent dvd sales. surely.

5 weeks later, and a $300 higher battle to secure this book. Interesting.

8th or so appearance of the X-Men
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.

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.

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.

Given today’s events, it’s time for a bump. Cap 1 is closing the gap . . .
Thats a better comparison. Bat's for the win.

I don't usually cross-post, but today I felt I just had to. Major addition to the collection, maybe the best book I'll find all year.
Well worth the double post

I'd love to hear how it looks in hand It's a fantastic book, the freshness is plain to see. It certainly is a high point for 2024, there's no questioning it, a stunning addition to the collection!

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.

One thing you have to consider about the age of collectors is that it takes a certain income level to be able to buy vintage books with discretionary income. Most people don't reach that income/stability until their mid-30s. So not seeing a bunch of teenagers running around buying $3000 comics isn't surprising.
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.

Is anyone buying high grade NS 98's this soon after the holder tampering scam?? Prices are strong, but the scam has to have taken a toll.
