I love this show. I suspect Sam will be the AI in this version for the new Leaper, since he died at the end of the original series (and Scotr is old now) -J.

As always you're passing off your speculation and opinions as unassailable facts. I only deal in facts and what's actually happened, not what "might" happen or what something "could" be. I know you fancy yourself an "all knowing comic guru", but I frankly couldn't care less about your opinions on anything, you lost all your credibility years ago when you claimed the sale of a mid grade AF 15 is what triggered the last run up in prices as opposed to the 9.0 that actually did.. But if a high grade GA comic , other than the Superman 7.0 that literally just sold , does come out in the near future and blows away 3.6 million, I'll be happy to admit I was wrong. Spidey rules. -J.

45k+ for a 2.5?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/185253790464?hash=item2b21fc8300:g:5S0AAOSwZUJh3gIp -J.

If it's fully disclosed (aka , public) there isn't an issue. Both Vinnie and Josh have done the same thing. -J.

Still AF 15. I think you are underestimating the various additional external circumstances that led to that record breaking price. It wasn't just spider-man's overwhelming popularity. There were also some "covid economics" in there, among with an unprecedented run up in the collectibles market, people looking to park crypto gains, a surge in international interest, etc. A perfect storm, if you will, that will make that top price tough to beat, methinks. -J.

We ate back to speculating again. Would a top 4 ASM 1 sell for less than that ? Doubtful. Spider-man is exponentially bigger than Superman. -J.

The "top 4 graded, first to market and highest graded in 20 years" copy of superman 1 that just sold for a million dollars less recently tells me that spidey's current public record will be tougher to top than you think it will. (Which is why I think you have a cadre of propagandists trying so hard to legitimate the "private 'sale'" of that Action 1.) -J.

$30k -J.

Exactly. I don't know what's so difficult to understand about this. Nobody can say what a comic "might" sell for. But we can certainly say what one HAS sold for. Right now , Spidey is King. -J.

Also of note , we just saw a "top 4" copy of superman 1 under sell a top 4 copy of AF 15 by nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS. (yes, said in "that" voice lol) -J.

Irrelevant. What's the Jughead price ever publicly paid for any comic ? An AF 15. The economy could crash tomorrow and we wouldn't see another sale close to that for ten years. Somebody want to test the market ? Put another high grade action 1 up for auction publicly and let's see what happens. Anything other than that is nothing but "insider" gossip and rank speculation. -J.

I'm agreeing with everything you're saying. Other than the part about that being equal to a fully visible public auction. That is not the same. Not even a little. -J.

Sure a private transaction is a transaction. But until we get a like for like PUBLIC sale, that is is subject to mass market participation and scrutiny , it is simply not the same. Gossip amongst a few guys in the hobby is not anywhere close to being the same , sorry. -J.

Until another comic book sells for more PUBLICLY (no, alleged "private sales" do not count, no matter how many guys try to jump on here to personally validate it) that surpasses the sale price from late last year, AF 15 already IS the #1 book in the hobby, full stop. -J.

...and $2k+ higher than what the 5.5 sold for on comicconnect on December 16. Startling how much this book has jumped in just a matter of a few weeks. Suddenly everybody wanted one. -J.

Maybe you should just go ahead, break down and finally buy one before you give yourself a hysterectomy. -J.

If you don't think Campbell had anything to do with the recent and renewed interest in his sexier version of the character, you are simply delusional. Carry on. -J.

Thanks Lou! I don't know. I saw some people doing it on social media and figured there's a reason so Idatatype doing it too. That's about the size of it lol. -J.

Thanks peewee. -J.

JSC decidedly made Black Cat into a quasi sex symbol over the last decade or so. She simultaneously has been a prominent part of the ASM story line the last several years. The rise in value has been commensurate with that, with "movie spec" being a secondary contributing factor. -J.

That's the top of the plastic rolling cart that the bank gave me to place the items on. -J.

I just said , f--- it and got both. -J.

Its funny you think that's something anyone would need to do. Enjoy the ride! -J.

The book has been trending up for the last 6+ years. -J.

Felicia Hardy in the MCU is also what people are expecting at this point. The MCU is bigger than Star Wars. One Spider-man movie alone is about to pass the grosses of almost every star wars movie ever made (not adjusted for inflation). That should tell you all you need to know. (I own one copy of the book, not that it really matters,, I am also an ASM and Black Cat fan obviously, that's the point of these threads, to talk about our favorite books and characters, which also includes price trends ) -J.
