Last night I saw an intriguing ad for a yard sale advertising “1,000s of rare comics” as its lead. Naturally I was dismissive and scoffed it off as a euphemism thinking it’d be a swap meet dealer unloading undesirable overstock. It was far, no pics and no prices so I didn’t bother. Boy, I wish I had. Here’s what my friend got for $1 each. He filled about three longboxes 

Great score… drop $100 and potentially make a few grand. Well done! 

Glad I skipped it and enjoyed a round of golf instead.

Any reports? Pics? 

Surfer #3 cgc 9.4 went for $5400 last night on the bay…down from $7200 in a recent heritage sale but up from $2880 in august. 

Nice Byrne pages! 

the gman will give it another go. thanks!

I took a spin through my tracked lots and saw more upsides than 'crack slips'

This was perhaps the one I was the most off base on:

Al Milgrom and Jim Mooney The Spectacular Spider-Man #75 Story Page | Lot #95337 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

This is a pretty cool scene but > $30k...

Is a $16,000 difference really that good of a flip? I thought the cover sold low, considering it’s one of the best Dr Strange covers. I thought it would hit $75,000-$85,0000 or maybe go past $100,000.

If I’m going to flip a piece of art I’ve paid $35,000 for, a $15,000-$16,000 profit is low and wouldn’t be worth the time and effort and I’d be very disappointed that that’s all I was getting.

The seller should have consigned it back to HA to go in one of their bigger auctions, in my opinion.

i guess it depends on the owner's situation if they needed the $ for another purchase or whatever...Only 2-3 years to make $10K after the juice is taken out, yea not great but better than losing $. When I think of Dr Strange, MR name doesn't come to mind...usually Colan, Brunner, Ditko, Severin, etc....

doc strange #49 cover by Rogers looked strong at $50K+

good flip (if the same owner) from 2020 at $33.6K (heritage) 

VOH 35 cover $183k

thought the Campbell Spidey pieces did not do all that great.

i liked the zeck cap v doc ocl page $3900

for sale here

SS Red Sonja

very nice Kirby Thor splash!

I would say the FF1 did  poorly compared to prior sales

and it was CVA exceptional 

last 9 sales on heritage of hulk #181 in 9.2 all went higher than last night's link auction. in 2021, one went for more than double last night's price!

An 8.5 white sold on the exchange in early 2022 for $350k.

Though I suppose losing less than half "value" from covid highs is actually pretty strong at this point.

 

just looked at heritage and a similar copy sold for $228K back in August 22....and in 2021 an 8.5 sold for $132K

Link results last night...a few books seemed to go for really bargain prices (full disclosure, i have not looked up recent sales...just from memory)

Hulk #181 cgc 9.2 $8845 (looked to be a sharp copy)

ASM #238 cgc 9.8 newsstand $3200

Cap #1 cgc 7.0 $201K (I thought that would do much better)

DD #1 cgc 9.2 $22K

Few other books did well

Batman #11 cgc 8.5 $37K

Exciting #9 cgc 6.5 $15.4K

FF #1 cgc 8.5 $217K

$2760 w the juice.....
