    Don’t think it’ll hit 100k but won’t be too far off. Tec 33 8.0 didn’t do so well and bidding on the Tec 37 8.5 isn’t all that strong so nothing leads me to believe a coverless 27 will stand out 

    Under 100 would be a crime.  120ish sounds about right in my head.  Then again, 150 in today's market still wouldn't surprise me for this bad boy.

    Yes I think Cap 1 is doing ok. It hasn’t matched the Bat 1’s meteoric rise, but it’s hardly without a pulse. The Promise 3.5, even with a rusty staple, hammered at $240k. That’s an aggressive price. And the current 9.4 will serve to raise prices across the board, IMO

    Im just disappointed in a few books Cap 1 being one of them. It was a grail of mine for a long time which I traded a few years ago. I always thought it was undervalued even before the Marvel movies.  IMO it could arguably be the biggest Marvel book of all time across any age.  I still think it's undervalued. Incredible cover, first appearances galore, and tons of cap stories and art.

    The 4.5 was  like a 3.5

     

    The 4.5 didnt have great eye appeal that nasty tape residue along the  full length of the spine. Also it was the first non high grade MC1 to be in auction. Kinda normal the next ones fetch a higher price since people see the results. Kinda like Bats1  and Cap1. MC just didnt have many  available in auction since its uber rare compared to aforementioned  

     

    Its going to hit over 300k most likely and 

    2.2   for the historic 9.2

    The 2.5 is over 300k as of this morning.

    with that PQ ? Hopefully the Tec 37 8.5 will hit that, and it's listed far above the cvrless 27.

    In terms of auction estimates (high to low), Heritage lists it under the FF #2 and #3 in 9.4 (dunno how much those go for)

    But who knows, perhaps it might go against Heritage's own estimates.

    Where do you put the cut off for "good " PQ on a book of this magnitude? 150k would not suprise me.  I don't think I'm telling tales out of school that there were offers when this book was on eBay of 115-120k and things have only gotten crazier.  Personally, I have no problem with the PQ but then again I wouldn't with brittle either on this bad boy

    With silver age mega key prices getting away from most collectors, even for super low grade copies, would you pay for a single page certified by CGC? I mean AF15, X1, H1, FF1, JiM83, ToS39, etc. I've been thinking about it. I think it displays really nicely and it would be cool to at least have a part of comic I wish I could have. 

    Great question for the boards. The most I've seen sold for a single page from the SA was 4k (AF 15 Splash) And for the record I think GA was 27k (Action 1 Splash).  Big fan of Single pages for the reason you mentioned above.  It's apiece of history !!

    Crazy, right?

    Ahh, The Promise Collection.  It's amazing what this mega key has done especially when the knock on it not that long ago was that many copies survived ,  I wonder if this book has now knocked MC 1 to #5 on the GA list
