I was going to say that too. But hi first appearance is so muddled and diluted it's not completely comparable. -J.

I thought this might be flying under the radar but guess not. Clink copy, 0.5 Restored, trimmed, incomplete, married cover up to $20k with 3+ days left. http://comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fsearch.asp%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3DCaptain%2BAmerica%2Bcomics%2B1%26GO%3DGO%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1174513&id=1174513 -J.

Snobby Europeans. -J.

Yes the numerous false narratives tossed around to make newsstands out to be much more than they are is simply mind boggling. -J.

Thanks for the info! -J.

I will definitely defer to Gator on this. -J.

Ralphie on The Simpsons, right ? -J.

My estimations (for a 1.0) would be 29-$27k, 31- $30k, 33- $20k, 35- $25k. -J.

Awesome, thanks! -J.

Linky? -J.

That's a nice cover. I really wish that was a US release as well. May have to snag one for the PC anyway. -J.

That is super cool. Where were you able to find that ? -J.

Is it that "all variants" bother you or just what certain ASM ones sell for? Serious question. -J.

Walking Dead 1 goes for $3k+ in a 9.8 and there are over 900 of those in a 9.8+. And considering ASM 300 is already one of the most highly slabbed books in CGC's history, and still "only" has about 700 (1 out of about every 20 submissions), I wouldn't be holding my breath for "hundreds of more 9.8's" to be hitting the census anytime this decade (or ever?). -J.

That really is some awesome stuff. Venom and Superman. I'd love to see those two in the same movie. -J.

Simply amazing. And people wonder why this book is pushing $2k in a 9.8. -J.

See my edited post above. I would argue that the 8.5 sale on Heritage in February actually triggered the CC sales. There's a pretty straight line from the two big sales last year to the prices that we are seeing now across most of the grade spectrum. The CC results were nothing more or less than a continuation of data points that we were already witnessing (that started in the higher grades). -J.

I don't think we are saying different things. My dispute was with Vintangecomics declaring that the CC sales triggered this price surge, when in reality it started over a year ago in the uber high grades and simply tricked down to the mid grades in that CC auction, and is now starting to reach the lower grades and less nicely presenting copies in mid grades. If anything I would say that $155k sale of an 8.5 influenced those sales on CC which then influenced eBay prices. It's pretty easy to track the progression. -J.

True. But prior to that there was a guy pricing a 6.5 for $65k after the CC sales for $50k plus. And I'm sure if there was a guy selling a 9.2 copy on eBay he would have moved his price to something like $650k after Ghostown's sale. My only point is that we saw all those adjustments on eBay prices after the CC auction because the grades of those books in the CC auction are also the grades of the vast majority of copies that are usually on eBay (low/mid grade). -J.

Voldy usually sells at a discount to CGC. I don't ignore Voldy results but it's not an apples to apples comparison. -J.

Yes, when the price surge that started last year in the higher grades started trickling down to the lower/mid grades (the bulk of the grades of the copies typically offered on ebay), eBay sellers adjusted their prices accordingly. That CC auction didn't start or trigger anything, those results were just a continuation of strong results that started over a year ago. -J.

I'm sure the one 9.8 CGC copy that's currently on eBay will perform at or better than GPA averages. -J.

Yes that's most people. Having an auction end at that time was just silly. Probably cost him a couple hundred dollars. Not an earth shattering difference in the grand scheme of things, but a couple hundred bucks is still a couple hundred bucks. -J.

It ended at two o'clock in the morning. -J.

Actually, the last few sales were all at $1700+. No doubt this guy ending his auction at 2 in the morning had something to do with this particular result ($1550). -J.
