    Original Cover Art by Dell'Otto sold for a record price....

    Wow nice !  Dell'otto OA coming up big time. And that wasn't even an ASM cover.  Probably would have gone even higher if it was.

    The 667 Went for $2500 more in the 9.8 and beats it handily in all lower grades. The UF 4 is a warehouse book , not rare at all.  I'm still trying to figure out the rationale behind some of these prices I've seen for it.

    It's more pain than it's worth to mention to cgc too.

    They say to write it on the submission form and the graders will decide if to notate, but it's never worked for me, especially on a brand new label notation. 

    That kind if thing might work for Newsstand or mar jeweler or some such, but a 1st app and the like has never ever worked for me :(

     

    It's definitely worth a shot.  I got the first black Pirate added to action 23 and first mention of batcave to batman 12.

    First appearance of kindred also just got added to the last volume of ASM 1.

    I wasn’t sure if the BP was included with the hammer price - it says it will be added after the auction, but not whether that posted price includes it or not.

    The final price, including BP,  is added within a couple seconds/couple minutes at the end of the auction so that was the final number.  

    @Timeless icons I usually notice it the other way around- the gap between the two companies being less on the bigger keys (but there almost always is a gap, about a 20% discount on average, certainly not a 50% discount though, not on keys at least).

    No.

    "Pandemic era" in this case refers to user behavior, not laws.

    Just because theaters were "allowed" to reopen at full capacity months ago doesn't mean *audiences* returned.

    Even moreso given that this week LA County, for instance, announced they may reinstitute indoor mask mandates as COVID hospitalization rates there are rising. The 7-day rolling average of new Covid cases there is 4,100+ new daily, more than triple what is was in the fall of 2020.

    Also - individual anecdotes are wildly_fanciful_statement, but I saw Top Gun: Maverick again last night and took my parents (who are in their late 70s.).

    First time either of them had set foot inside a movie theater in more than 2 years. And I'm sure they're far from the exception.

    BTW - they each loved the film. But we're all hoping neither of them shows symptoms in the next 7-10 days.

    Sorry, but with multiple 700MM++ grossers in the books, it's done.  

    And dorky LA ain't a litmus for the vast majority of the country, which has moved on from this BS a loooooong time ago.

  6. Great holds for week 2 but alas , the equally nostalgia- laden jurassic Park movie coming out next weekend is going to throw cold water on the Top Gun party.

    (PS- The "'pandemic' era" for movies ended when all theaters were "allowed" to reopen at full capacity a long time ago wish people would retire that silly term once and for all).

    It's going to be interesting to see which variant comic pulls ahead in this months HA auction:  UF4 or ASM667?  Anyone want to make a friendly wager? :)

    The 9.8 CBCS copy just went for an unimpressive 22k on comiclink and the CGC 9.6 sold for what the 667 9.4 sold for last month , so I'd say we already have pur answer (again).

    667 will always be King.

    Facts are a twist at times.

    I've seen sources that say 175MM, and I'm not arguing minutia with you since $25MM either way does not stop the movie from being a bomb no matter how many times Scott mendelson on forbes hyperventilated about how "historic" it's, in-fact, weak box office numbers were.
