Gorgeous copy. Awesome bright colours! -J.

Actually whiz is just an additional example of the impact of the movies IMO. How relevant or enduring will the character end up being in that regard? Time will tell. But if you notice, my logic was two pronged for how and why I made my list as I did, and is actually not entirely inconsistent with your points (although I disagree about Bats 1, villain first appearances < hero appearances, and that includes the joker and Spider-Man and wolverine are both more popular than he is IMO). -J.

Will look very nice added to the collection. -J.

Popkulture is onto something. 10 years from now, the influence and reverberation of all these movies will coalesce perfectly with the hunt for "first appearance" keys that is preferred among younger collectors. This will create a perfect storm for such books, whether or not superhero movies are still bring cranked out then as they are now:l, so I am doing a little rogue with my picks: Tec 27- (He's Batman) Action 1- (Superman is not what he used to be and will be even less so in ten years) AF 15- (Spidey, already competing with the biggest and far scarcer GA keys will only continue to soar to the stratosphere as this will be the closest thing to "affordable" for the guys chasing the biggest guns) Captain America Comics 1- (The multiple, true first appearances and iconic cover will always keep it in the top 5) Incredible Hulk 181- (Although the most common by far, its overall and absolute demand will continue to push its value in every single grade to shocking levels that requires its placement on a list like this) Marvel comics 1 has already gone the way of Tec 1, and that trend will only escalate as the older guard ages out. Cap 1 has already passed Bats 1 by some metrics. Superman 1, being essentially a book of reprints will lose it's lustre amongst the next, affluent generation as well but will always be a hard #6 or #7 (interchangeable with Bats 1). -J.

Total shot in the dark here but I'm figuring it went in the $115k-$120k range. I wish these buyers would let Greg report like I did when I got my 5.0 off from him 3 years ago. -J.

Wasn't the ask only like $135k? That 1.5 coming up in the CC auction I'm going to put at $55k-$60k final hammer. -J.

He didn't report it to GPA. I wonder if anyone knows whereabouts it went for ? -J.

Looks like he's going for high concept with that one. -J.

Okay I give up. What am I looking at? -J.

Nice! Looks great in the slab. Practically frame-able. -J.

-J.

Sure. And the overwhelming demand for AF 15 in all grades is more than enough equalize most if not all. This has been borne out time and time and time and time again. -J.

When a book sells for record prices it's "despite" the "PQ". When a book slightly under performs to some people it's "because" of the PQ. Please, give me a break. -J.

MC maybe. The "PQ" on the label does very little to squat on prices. -J.

That would be one helluva bump. Not to mention that price is in line with the other 7.0s that also recently sold on the Link. -J.

Didn't hurt this: http://comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsearch.asp%3Fwhere%3Dsell%26title%3DAmazing%2Bfantasy%2B15%26GO2%3DGO%26ItemType%3DCB&id=1210851 -J.

Not at all. But it certainly had the right "look" to go for a lot more than that. There is another 6.5 on heritage at the moment as well so that probably didn't help. But I also think the market is softening a bit as well because (insert whatever reason you like best here ). -J.

Double a 6.5? Nah. -J.

Touché. -J.

Your vapid generalisations and painful attempts at insult and witty repartee warrant no response. (Other than this one of course ). -J.

No it isn't. And I'm sure you'll agree that calling other boardies "stupid", either directly or indirectly, because someone disagrees with them is juvenile and bush league and has no place in a conversation among (presumed) professional adults and fellow comic book collectors. -J.

Agreed. -J.

Only the people that are worried about about the bottom falling out from under their Voldy slabs. -J.

Good points. I just thought I was demonstrating the obvious when I basically said that CGC has the right to control the narrative in their own house. -J.

I don't know. Why don't you tell me why we have to say "voldy" instead of the real company name. -J.
