that’s crazy!! You can get a very similar piece of art by simply sticking 3 Starbursts together and zooming in 🤷‍♂️🤣

This is disturbing

This piece is not sporting any artistic skills. Its warm air. The emperor is not wearing any cloth.

Id prefer a Kirby splash OA please.

To each their own, but I wouldn't pay even $60 to $80 for this piece of so-called artwork, let alone their estimate of $60M to $80M:  

Then again, I guess collectors in the fine art and abstract art world probably thinks we are just as crazy to pay the kind of prices that we do for our funny books like that Supes 1 which Vinnie is holding.

Picked this up today.  I always loved this cover, and plus I now have over half of the original 66!

Looks super nice. Congrats!

The blackstone frenzy together with the covid shot down ragnarok - i just cant see this market sustaining itself long term without some correction.

Disney settled with Kirbys family, so The Ditkos are expecting the same. I wouldn't think the others have much of a chance at any payout. But maybe thats why they teamed up with the Ditkos.

 

The Ditko heirs can really, really hurt Disney by dragging them through a long judicial process exposed and covered in the public press.

OK, I'm Slavic but I've never heard of this. Please tell me you're pulling my leg (and I am NOT going to Google it)

I can see "Wunderbar Woman" being a thing. It has a ring to it.

Puuh-leece google it.

shes hot ...

no i am joking 😎

This is a cool article but some of it doesn't ring true to me.

For example, why on earth would Canada and Australia care so much about Captain America?

And why would Russia be enamoured by Wonder Woman?

This is based on Google searches, right? So I wonder how many of the Google searches are corrupted data. For example, Canadians may search the words Captain and America but not actually be looking for the character.

And I know Brasil has a soccer star named Hulk, which would account for a MASSIVE number of Google searches from Brazil, certainly WAY MORE searches than for an American comic book character.

Now the WW things in Russia? I have no explanation for that. Anybody?

Wunder Woman is a russian mega-porrhn star. Are you serious that you dont know her ?

Well the Goldin Bat 1 went for 1,5 mill.

My bad as I was reading too fast and looked under there 2.0 graded copies for a PLOD instead of the ones for the 7.5 grade.  

All is well bro ...

Sold for 707 K

What are your guys thoughts on this? Almost 40k higher than the previous 9.8 sale. 👀

Great sig placement, but bad wrap. $144,000 is a pretty wild price for this. 

In my book that is a completely insane sale. I would like to see this Heritage result duplicated on another venue please.

Do you have a link for this sales result since I can't seem to find it in their CC archives?

That’s a good page. We have been put on high alert that we’ve not yet heard the last of the dastardly Joker

Joker is hands down the best (ie most insane) villain among’em all. Neck to neck with the Kirbys Darkseid bad arrsh imho.

Marvel has the best heroes. (Ok Batman though besting them all). DC has the best villains. I wonder when we get the inevitable merge?

So, looks like this is already a record for a CGC 8.0 graded Larson copy of Bat 1at $1,212,000 with still a day to go, as the non-pedigree copy hammered in a CC Event Auction back in April of this year at $1,050,000 for a final price of $1,207,500 with the 15% BP juice added in.  

Looks like the prices on Batman 1 have gone up sharply over the past few years as this same Larson copy of Bat 1 was sold back in December of 2016 at a CC Event Auction for only  $365,854.  While another CGC 8.0 non-pedigree copy of Bat 1 that had sold for only $175,365 back in April of 2012 at CC came back into the marketplace through CC once again in September of 2019 at a very profitable $498K price point.  

Yup. I just saw there was a slight plod bat 1 at CC that recently went for almost 200K.

Thats pretty aggressive 😳

There are a whole lot of Disney books on that list. I had no idea they were that popular in the late 70's. The last Overstreet I have (47) only has a small handful of Disney books in the top 100. 

Duck books have plummeted.

On that 2.0? Can we talk about that a minute?

our collective shock and awe has so far been confined to a thread with “Heritage” in the title, so I think it appropriate we take the matter up here. I think everyone on this thread already values Bat 1 highly, but still.
 

$220k for a 2.0? 
 

is this a bubble? Is this sustainable? What is the future for Bat 1?

It is one of those super few books that have transcended the hobby. The cover is iconic, its everywhere.

and in terms of content bat 1 is second to none!

I don't think that's chipping, looks like yellow overspray.  Imagine how the guy who bought this 8.0 OW/W for $147,000 must feel.

It is AF15 pricing will always be strong it is the King of the entire SA and to me tied with TEC27. It will be that way from now on Batman & Spiderman are the King's. I know AC1 is King as well so I guess we have the 3 King's.

Then we have ‘un menage au trois’ 🤥
