    Talked to Heritage last month about selling about 600 Uber high grade late silver/ early bronze books. 
    They told me to take them to my comic shop. 
    I was pretty taken aback by their response. 

    Is Heritage only interested in graded sets or just not interested in this particular run, did they specify?

    It was a Comicconnect sale that happened this week. The book was listed at 30k and after making an offer and then counter offer, we settled at 25k.

    Congrats on the buyer, this book will always be a sought after and especially the variant IMO. $25k seems a little nuts now but given a long enough time horizon that price might be a steal.

    Anyone have an idea as to what the print run numbers might be for the Djurdjevic variant? In terms of pricing, GPA doesn't reflect this but a 9.8 was just purchased for $25k. :shy: Personally, I like the cover better than the standard cover but that's just my opinion. 

    I thought the last 9.8 was sold in March for $20k from Comiclink, are you talking about that one or this $25k is a different book?

    I'll have to disagree.  Every time a CGC graded newsstand has sold, it has sold for higher than the Djurdjevic variant in the same grade at that date.  When prices get to $5,000+, buyers tend to know what they're buying.  Using the non-newsstand 9.8 price would be like saying a CGC 9.8 Star Wars #1 35-cent shouldn't sell for $17,000+ more than a CGC 9.8 Star Wars #1 30-cent regular.  In reality, a CGC 9.8 Star Wars #1 35-cent would be $100,000+ more than a 30-cent. 

    A CGC 9.8 Ultimate Fallout #4 Newsstand should easily beat $20,000, if the seller/venue was legit and not some low feedback eBay mystery scammer.

    Well the Star Wars #1 35-cent is considered a variant right? However, I don't think newsstand is considered a variant but correct me if I'm wrong about that. Also SW#1 35c only had about 1,500 copies ever printed so it's pretty rare not sure how many copies of newsstand UF4#1 was printed.

    But hey maybe a 9.8 would sell over $20K, I'm all for it cuz it's a great book and own a few copies of the regular ones myself.

    Btw a 9.8 newsstand was sold on June 2020 for $8,100.

    1st print newsstand will eventually be the biggest money book, if it isn't already. :foryou:

    The June 2020 price for CGC 9.8 UF #4 Djurdjevic variant was an average of $5,750.

    Zero sales of CGC 9.8 UF #4 newsstand since June 2020.

     

    UPDATE:  A CGC 9.2 UF #4 Newsstand sold for $7,000 in May 2021.  About the same price as the CGC 9.4 UF #4 Djurdjevic variant 

    However a 9.8 Djurdjevic has sold in 2021 at the March comiclink auction for an astonishing $20K. I highly doubt the normal 1st print will reach that newsstand or not..

    true,, good for ComicLink for setting about 1000 record sale prices on books this week though. It was definitely exciting to watch all these auctions go off. I put up a thread on the selling forum soliciting a potential trade for my secret wars 9.9 ++...

    Your 9.9 is damn cool, but I agree that long term Miles will outperform and unfortunately I think this auction results will definitely raise the ask for this book especially on eBay since those books on there are overpriced to begin with...

    If you wish to ignore same grade comparison, then yes, you are , in your own way, correct...at being incorrect 

    How is using highest price sold wrong in this comparison?

    AF15 is SA top key not only because it has the first appearance of one of the most popular comic book character but ALSO it has sold for the highest amount vs any other SA book. 

    IH181 is BA ".............verbatim...................................................................................................................................".but ALSO it has sold for the highest amount (regardless of grade) vs any other BA book.

    Firstly, let's have a fair comparison here.  There are no TMNT #1's in 9.9 so we cannot compare it to the Hulk 181 in 9.9.

    That said, taking a look at the 9.8's the most recent sales data I have of TMNT #1 in 9.8 = $90K, and $52.8K.  Both sales in 2019. 

    The most recent sales data I have on Hulk 181 in 9.8 = $31.2K and $37.2K.  Both sales in 2020.  90 day average = $31.2K

    So Highest paid for TMNT1= $90K... Second highest=$52.8k

    Highest paid for IH181= $150k...Second highest= $59k (Comiclink auction 2019)

    Based on these numbers I think IH181 is still BA top key.
