Chicago Boy

Speaking of Action 1. The beat up page 5 is at 15k with 3 hours left.  Hope it hits 20k.  Second greatest Action 1 page IMO (and to a lot the best)

Can you say that louder for those in the back?

 

There were 4-5 people constantly hyping that book and DD1. Even still a few are pushing both pretty hard. I always wonder how long until their for sale ad's hit.

DD1 ads did hit by a couple of those guys shortly after the pump. It is what it is I suppose.

X Men 1 and DD 1 great and important books but not the level of AF 15 FF 1 & Hulk 1. Those 3 are the only true Marvel Tier 1 SA books Id throw JIM 83 in at #4

Here is my copy I just picked up recently.  It was 15K which wasn't the best deal and was about 2K more than I was hoping to spend for the condition, but I was having a horrible time trying to find a lower grade affordable copy that presented decently, so I just bit the bullet and bought it.

 

Great colors !

The only book for me that the highest graded AF 15 doesn't come close to are an Action 1 & Tec 27.  I'd take the 6.0 or 7.0 Tec 27 over the 9.6 AF 15 if value didn't' play a factor in my choice. However, once again, highest graded AF 15 over the highest sole graded Bats 1 any day of the week

Yeah, but Spider-Man is so boring. 

Blasphemy !!!!!

Oh it's you! 

Big Robin fan here (as Gotham Kid likes to make fun of ). Without Robin  and the 1960's TV show I don't  think, Bats is as big as he is today.  Some great Robin stories over the years but he certainly doesn't need the Boy Wonder anymore

Really? A 9.6 AF 15 which there are four of over the one and only Batman 1 9.4? Plus over 2,200 Blue Label AF 15's and only 128 Batman's.  Totally respect your choice, I'm thinking its the 1st appearance thing that's your main reason. But to have the officially highest graded in the universe Batman 1........

Yep. Highest graded 1st appearance of the wall crawler trumps Bats 1 for me every time.  

Not me. 9.6 AF 15 over highest graded Bats 1. ($ amount not being. a factor)

2- Tec 27's, 2- Batman 1's as far as I see. 

and soon to be another af 15

Cool Book.  What is up with Comicconnect and the QES stickers as of late ?  Does Fishler own a piece of QES ?  It seems so weird.........

Well, looks like this entry level copy here did it's expected run up at the end and finished up at a record high of $48K for this condition grade.  

Tec 31 in 1.0 now pulls further away from Cap 1 in 1.0 ........early mega key Marvel just can't come close to Bats or Supes

Ouch that’s some serious coin

Tec 27 and Action 1 in any way ,shape,  or form (as long as they have the bats and supes story ) are in their own stratosphere .  pound for pound .    Other mega keys can't touch them

Yep. Nice blue cowl version too. Although, based on this 2016 scan, the FC has appeared to have slipped downward. 

So their are 2 different color cowl versions ?  Kind of like the Blue's on a Hulk 1 ??

I've always thought that the CGC green Qualified label was normally given at the discretion of CGC, as opposed to being elected by the submitter. 

Especially in the case of HG books with just something like a missing coupon where a blue universal grade of CGC 0.5 would be virtually useless in terms of providing any useful information as to the actual condition of the underlying book.  I would definitely find a Qualified grade of 8.0 for a nicely presenting GA book with a missing coupon to allow me to make a much more informed bidding decision, as opposed to a CGC 0.5 grade for this so-called "Incomplete" book which is also the same grade that would be given to a totally beaten to death POS condition graded book that you could barely read.  

I see nothing wrong with the practice of allowing the customer to select the label between blue and green because in actuality it is both

All 4 million regret it

I couldn't even get through it. So bad.  John Cena and Stallone were the worst. the first one with Will Smith was 1000 x  better

The company was bought out like 4 years ago but some hedge fund guys or some group of business men, and Goldlin got 40M to sell a % to the buy guys according to what I have read. So there is some big $$ behind them. but they are really gonna have to start off impressive to make any kind of splash, especially with the 20% buyer  fee, if they stick to that number on the first auction and they also charge a seller fee....so this should play out very interestingly.

Seller fee on comics is 12.5 %. That's still higher than anyone with a solid track record in comics .  Not sure why anyone would want to go there.  I know someone in WV that approached them (among others)  with a mega key and G Auctions wouldn't move on the fee.......

The 9.8 WP Spidey #14 on Heritage is insane. Second only to the AF 15 9.6 IMO.  Any guesses on Hammer.  ?

There was recently a thread in the GA section where a boardie listed a complete coverless on eBay and got offers exceeding $100k.  So that book is up there in any forum. 

 

He had offers up to 120k I believe.  light tan to cream PQ and slight pieces missing from pages 2-7 (slightly effects Bats story)  Great copy. Hope he gets his price.  Tec 27 and Action 1 are on a whole other playing field $ wise

Let me know when you start feeling spicy.  I got a Little Dot 1 CGC 2.5 waiting for a new owner.  

I love Little Dot 1 !  The poor man's Pep 22 !!

Entry level, complete Tec 27's  (even coverless) would start at $100K  (at least) ........

You are not getting a complete unrestored very poor copy for under 200k

Complete coverless Tec 27's 115-125k (depending on eye appeal & PQ)

Coverless missing the centerfold probably max out at 100k (depending on eye appeal and PQ)

Provenance plays a part in their somewhere as well.  How much ?  I don't know.  maybe 10K minimum. (Kane copy, DC file copy, Robinson copy) 

It will break the record.  By how much ?  Dunno .
