Been quiet  for a while or I missed some auctions.  That Judge Ball auction yesterday was a PR  disaster

another opportunity presents itself

The story behind this one is so cool.  This was a storage locker find in Cleveland OH. Run through CGC to get it in this auction before an even bigger  Bats 1 that's coming up next time around. 1.1 million dollars in comics found in that cheap storage locker.

Wasn't  it ComicConnect   that sold  "The Tailor to Stan Lee"s  collection?   Mr Parsow  did quite well on  that

So did his ex wife. He had a great store in Omaha Nebraska

As opposed to this home run. Grade ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. 

 

I can't believe  I literally threw my pristine copy away 20 years ago.

I’m a fan of single pages, but this is up to $500 with 100 watchers!!

What did it end up going for?

The book has gone up so much that he's probably ahead even if it turns out to be trimmed.

No doubt.  Just giving the OP some BG as I know it

The book was offered to his competition Eide's Entertainment  which is the COOLEST COMIC BOOK SHOP IN THE USA IMO.  Owner convinced it was trimmed by the Bob Kane sig.  Offered to pay to get it graded to prove it.  Todd declined.  Last time I spoke to Todd was 2015. he still had it then

Hammer guesses outside of tree fiddy for the purple Action 1 and/or Tec 27?

I assume you mean it's MORE rare than it seemed.  10 years ago, no one considered Flash Comics #1 (1st appearance of The Flash.  First appearance of Hawkman) to even be a big deal.  No one on this board gave a sh*t about it.  They were too busy talking about Batman and cover art.  I should know...I sold my CGC 5.0 unrestored for $34K.  And everyone here said it was a good price.

I meant less rare.  Love this book. Owned a low grade that I bought from Filter years ago.  Had a real low number on the census then but that has increased dramatically. Plus you see more for sale these days. Cool you had a 5.0 Blue.

Flash 1 at almost 50k a point is well deserved.  Not as rare as it seemed 10 years ago (same as AA 16).

Not single pages but single cut-out stories.    And none are for sale (so, please, no PMs). 

wow   almost 50k a point respectively.  Cap 1 definitely has moved up as of late which is nice to see

Economy is struggling at the moment and I think we all knew this enlightenment of stupid high prices couldn’t last forever. There’s been a correction across the board, but I still see solid sales, and the ones that have dropped as others mentioned are still well above pre-pandemic nuttiness. Overall comics are still a strong market from the feel of it, but I certainly won’t be surprised to see a given book not meet expectations anymore.

Hulk 181 in 9.8 breaking $100K, that is impressive though! I know many others remember the early early days. I can only go as far back when a 9.8 was worth about $10K, then into the low 20’s, then the big jump into the 30’s, 40’s, then hovering in the $70K or so mark and more. And now breaking $100K! 🤯 

How many 9.8s on the census--any idea ?

216k

Damn !  Thanks.  Great page.

Anyone see what the Tales of Suspense 39 page 13 hammered at ? Not sure why I haven't gotten an update from HA.

And it's back.... Again for the millionth time!?  Why can't this book get any love and just stay in someone's collection?

Whomever tore that front cover should be brought up on charges

Action 2 ?

This show so screws with canon. I HATE IT

Disapointing.  Screws with the canon. The Leia story line is too much as well.  They should let Faverau touch everything Star Wars like they do with Feige and Marvel. Something was just off the entire time.  Bad acting along the way too from the third inquisitor and that first Jedi.  Grand inquisitor too easy to kill

HATED HATED HATED THIS MOVIE !!  I know I am the only person on the planet that is saying this. Was so pumped to see it.  Love Cruise movies too.  HUGE disappointment,  Did not need to be made.

What is the purpose? Do you need a formal appraisal for estate planning purposes or for insurance? If so contact heritage. https://www.ha.com/information/appraise-contact.s?ic14=Acquisitions-YourHoldings-AppraisalServices-032117

Thanks. Looking for FMV and ultimately looking to sell

Got my ticket for Saturday night. Pumped !  BTW, I have Tom Cruises's original signed contract from The Outsiders (1983). Anyone have any idea of what it might be worth?  Just been sitting in a drawer collecting dust for years and years
