Yeah, twin packs too for $2. I wasn’t looking for any myself but my one grandson said these would look good in your comic room. So I said for $2, DONE! 

insane, great deal

They still had copies of that one left but they were going quick. With 5 grandkids pulling stacks of free books and $2 Funkos, it was hard to keep track of everything!

Whoa, 2 dollar pops is a deal

Gorgeous book.  Fantastic seller.

Way back when, before I bought collectibles insurance, I called my agent and asked if they could insure 80k of comics. They said no problem and the price was reasonable so I bought it. When I got the policy, the fine print said the limit for collectibles was 3k and i think it had a big deductible. I was able to get a full refund, but come on! They are not your friend.

They wouldn't be selling it if they weren't making money...

Metropolis Comics just announced it will be up for auction. I wonder if it will come with Grader's Notes?

Edit: Nope, gonna be hard to press it up to a 10.0 I guess.

Wait till somebody to reholders this with a 9.8.

The 9.2 sold for substantially more than the 8.5, which sold for "only" $18k.

so the 8.5 sale should have been higher?

Does that 8.5 sale seem in line with that 9.2 sale or was that 9.2 sale a bit low?  

 Any tips for people who  go to this convention often?  Worth paying double for VIP?

Sorry for the delay...here were the listings. I actually bid on 210 but didn't win. I believe this site is legit but have never successfully won an auction on here before. Its pretty impossible to navigate but I saw an ad on CGC for this auction and was surprised by the quality of books. Not sure even if you are a dealer why you wouldn't go to one of the big three with these books...but I see dumb stuff like this all the time. That is why it pays to check other sites out...

 

gotcha, so that's a 6.0 for 5700 not a 5.0 for 4k?  

 does this sale even exist?

I bid on a CGC 2.5 #210 last weekend on a HipComic auction and it only went for $799. Seems low compared to slightly better books that sold in January for significantly more. But not low enough that I was going to bite on it. A 5.0 214 went for close to $4K which is significantly below a similar copy from Feb 2023 but still on par or above prices from 3 or 4 years ago. A lot of books in this auction underperformed so some of it may have been the venue. But probably some price deflation here as well.  

Does anyone know how to navigated Hip comics to find this sale?  I have tried for the last hour and can't find it.  Did it exist?

So they are actually doing both versions and neither is a ratio?

I believe that's correct. The pre-order is pretty reasonable right now unlike some of his older covers

Crazy to think elder millennials are in their 40s already 

50% of millennials own homes... prices getting out of reach ... especially in big cities

One thing you have to consider about the age of collectors is that it takes a certain income level to be able to buy vintage books with discretionary income.  Most people don't reach that income/stability until their mid-30s.  So not seeing a bunch of teenagers running around buying $3000 comics isn't surprising.  

Honestly, Gen z and a lot of millennials can't even afford homes anymore...

looks legit.
