Just made a trade/sale with Kevin76 and brought in this glorious copy -- I cannot say how much I love 3.5's that look 8.0...

Thanks for looking!

Such a fascinating trade you guys made.  Congrats to you both!!  I told him when he got that FF5 it’s the nicest comic in grade I’ve ever seen.  Now it’s yours   Well done…both of you

@DSTNice pair!  Is this double-5.0 a coincidence or have you (even unwittingly!) started a broader 5.0 project beyond early Spideys in 5.0W?  Maybe you mentioned already and I missed it.  That would make for some group shot.  

Thanks!!  No just couldn't resist pairing the 16s.  The only other 5.0 WPs in my personal collection are a pair of page-turn covers Batman 14 and 42

Patently?  I dunno, unless you have blinders on?  The prior high for a 4.5 during all of 2021 was C/OW for 84K on 10/31, four months after a 6/23 sale for $51K, which was a whopping >60% jump, and it remained the all-time record after three additional 4.5 sales to end 2021.   And in 5.5, that recent C/OW on ComicLink for $117K had a CVA sticker, but even w/o it, it was clear it presented well.  It didn't surprise me that the ComicLink book also sold for near the current record for a 5.5 ($120K).  So again, as some folks noted above, there is no clear trend suggesting "massive" PQ bumps in recent sales, at least certainly not in the 4.5 and now also 5.5 grades.  Regardless of which key, in higher grades a PQ bump could be expected to be more consistent b/c there are otherwise fewer differences btwn books. And then there's market inefficiency, which could explain any surprises.  So broad, definitive statements could be tricky.    

Just something folks should be aware of, especially since all books in a given grade, regardless of PQ, should enjoy the same return on investment.  The moral of the story appears to be, if you've been hunting for a must-have blue chip book for your PC and find a nice book for the grade (especially mid- to lower-grades), just grab it in a sustainable rising market.  You can always sell/trade later to upgrade (be it the technical grade, the PQ, or anything else about the book), if that's your thing.  

It was one person, not "some folks" and they've been arguing about PQ every chance they get for years.  But if you want to join their camp by all means.  "Your thing" seems to be provocation and the need to argue anyway, so you'd fit right in!

And thank you for once again explaining to me the moral of the story Panto-Dad.  Your condescending and in no way off-putting opinion is (as always) the right one

Heritage site does now reflect the corrected $120K (incl BP) for the AF15 5.5 White sale on 1/14/22, and we have the AF15 5.5 C/OW (w/ CVA sticker) on ComicLink that sold for $117K on 1/17/22, and that's it as far as I know for 2022.  But did Heritage notify anyone (like those who were tracking that AF15 5.5) of the correction?  I didn't get any email despite Heritage always sending updates on tracked items.  Now I wonder whether I am unaware of any other corrected sales for a big book (any title)?   

If it weren't for the folks who kindly share sales-related updates, I wouldn't have known.  Apparently, even GPA  @gpanalysis still doesn't!  So thank you. 

I just noticed that as well that GPA still reflects the AF15 5.5 sale as $132k even though it was corrected on the HA site to $120k

I too wonder if that error impacted any of the sales that took place after 1/14

The 5.5 actually went for $120k on heritage, which is very close to what the 5.5 on comiclink , without "white pages" on the label sold for shortly after ($117k), and the 4.0 that sold on comilink for $78k is also consistent with other recent 4.0 sales of copies that do not have "white pages" on the label.  

In short, no consistent or qualifiable differences in prices are observed based on that alone.  

-J.

The sale price was corrected to $120k but for awhile was showing as $132k.
 

I’m not getting into a debate with you regarding page quality.  You’ve beat that drum to death over the years.

Few recent sales on GPA 

7.0 on 1/13 $252k
5.5 on 1/14 $132k 
5.0 on 1/23 $78,000

4.5 1/16 $66,000

2.5 on 1/24 $42,300

 

Also this 4.0 sale from comiclink on 1/15.  Between this sale and the 5.5 on HA for $132k, it goes to show the price driver of white pages on this book (where the page quality is actually rare).

is there a new 8.0/white game afoot???

Haha not quite…
All my other Spidey books are 8.0 and higher.  13 of them (out of 33) happen to be in grade 8.0 though
