Nice pick up, Rick!

 

Tim, JLA #18 9.6...$1350...?

I think I topped out at $1098. That`s a book that I have ZERO sense of urgency in acquiring.

i crushed you. i was the underbidder- also w/ little enthusiasm

Tim you fail. #1 tell us how important and rare BB 28 is especially in higher grades and #2 just tell us how many more copies you have hidden away to sell in 6 months.

 

What's a thread like this worth without the carnival barkers going buckwild ?

We need someone to play the role of M.A.R.S. and pump up the volume!

was at a show this weekend and there wasn't a copy in the room; i have the lash marks from chuckle's ponytail as we scrounged the $1 boxes to prove it. there's a bidding war from the movie studios on the JLA -script based on Geoff Johns's four word pitch: "Megan Fox Nude Scene." get your copy NOW before the rest of the world take advantage of the weakening dollar to buy: the Grand Canyon & every copy of B&B #28.

The Ebay SC 22 CGC 3.0 offwhite pages sold for $911 today.. Sold for less than the 3.0 cream-offwhite last week

and 20% below what a boardie paid for a 3.0 ow 2 weeks ago. c'est la vie

Thanks,

 

I think I'm a little more interesting in the issues from 76-up...that may change...I tend to be like a kid with ADD..without his riydilin, when it come to set-building!!

 

Also, been following the other GL 76 thread, with regards to centering quality..(mis-wrap),..among the HG copies.

well, you chose a good example

Interesting, there are fewer copies of GL #7 available on the market in any condition than Showcase #22 right now. I wonder how some of these books (#5 and #16 as well) will do once the actors have been cast for all of the characters.

I think you should start a GL 7 thread.

Does anyone know who just snatched the Supes #245 CGC 9.6 from me???

It was listed on Ebay and I put a crazy bid of over $1700, and someone sniped it at the last second. I'd be interested in knowing who go it!

 

Was that a reasonable price?? I thought it was aggressive...

 

it would be an upgrade for the 100 page king, so he's the most likely suspect. and those bobcat books are fantastic.

Winner

 

translation please.

Bobcat leaves positive feedback for all his winners once the book is shipped. On the feedback left portion of his feedback page, he left positive feedback to this eBay ID for the Superman 245 CGC 9.6. That's how you figure out who won the book even though the eBay ID is still scrambled for the winners.

put him on ignore before i read this. glad to see it was justified.

We are also likely seeing an initial plateau after most collectors who have wanted a copy for a while now went out and grabbed one. It will be interesting to see how prices hold as more copies enter the market.

With the weak US dollar and interests from overseas collectors and investors, take this opportunity to add a position for the long term if it pulls back a little.

i don't know why i thought that after i retired from the hedge fund biz, i was done w/ hype artists

Rick has just offered his 6.5 on the sales thread.

 

Curious to see when it´ll sell.........

not so much a 'when" but at what price... I like Richard's 7K value, though

 

Everyone with a SC#22 does. Whatever the grade is

 

Prices seem to stay strong, even on low-low grades. If yours sells around that money, it´ll continue lifting the price into new heights.

best offer so far is $5K...so we can "assume" that is the floor to perceived value of the copy

 

This means SC#22 is at least at the same price level as AS#1.........even quite higher and if yours sells at 7k........even a lot higher..

 

There are over 1500 graded copies of AS#1 and 246 graded SC22, so SC22 is more scarce. 142 collectors and investors can own a AS#1 above 6.5 and only 22 collectors and investors will be able to with SC22. It's really a supply and demand issue here with SC22. As I have mention before, the Mound City copy will set a major tone for high grade SC22.

AS #1 (of course, AF #15 is a much better comparable) has been in high demand for 30+ years, SC 22 has been in high demand for two months.

modern drek

That's because there are 1241 graded copies of AF15 and only 246 of SC22. There is more pressure on this side of the fence. You blink and a copy may slip by.

 

and 192 graded copies of showcase #4 and that book is still deader than disco.

until a flash movie comes out

yes, it truly is all about the movie hype. i don't buy the geoff johns revival driving things (though it doesn't hurt). when AF 15 was hotter than a pistol the last go round, every ASM title sucked eggs. unless i'm misremembering it was in the timeframe leading up to the release of Spider-Man 3.

john layman will be at my LCS (heroes in campbell, ca) this wed from 11-1 (i think that's the correct time) signing copies of #4

Very nice price on the 9.6 copy of #8 in the Clink auction. Final hammer price was $11,694. Did anyone here land it?

 

BTW, looking at that result and the $600 for the 8.0 last go round, what would a 9.0 copy of GL #8 be worth now?

$700-800 depending on PQ, QP, which way the wind is blowing, etc. but looking at GPA that may be optimistic.

What I was equally suprised at was how low the JLA #69 went for:

$136 ? for a 9.4. I know it was competing againt a 9.8 but only $136?

seems as if you can put together a nice collection of 9.2's and 9.4's for decent prices these days. if you're looking for 9.6's or better, you're gonna pay til you bleed

I concur, Tim, simply weird.

 

I'll say up front that I bid on about half a dozen of them, and wound up with goose eggs. If these prices somehow remain sustainable, I'm definitely going to cash in. Has a JLA movie started up again? Maybe paperheart is making a run for my crown?

 

I figured the #30 would be out of reach based on the 1st sale, so I didn't bother. I nudged up the #18 a bit, and the #32. As for #38?? What recession?! And I believe I was the under-bidder on the #64 9.8W. Oh well...

 

Still on the fence about the #2 9.6 that sold on Pedigree yesterday for only $8200 (following a $15K sale). The current census clearly reveals it to be a pressed re-subbed 9.4, but years down the road, will anyone remember (or care)?

 

relief regret relief regret relief regret relief regret...............

 

Rick

i thought the #2 was the same book doug sold for $9300 earlier this year. i was the underbidder then but didn't bother playing this time.

kudos to iggy for a couple of accurately graded HG raw books

oa just doesn't do it for me. so no compitition from me.

I hear ya. I mean, why would someone want to own a one-of-a-kind piece rather than the reproduction of it which numbers in the thousands?

 

 

especially when the one of a kind piece costs less. to each his own ...

 

You feel me, brother man!

 

what do the good pages from Chew 1 go for?

 

what's a 9.9 going for?

 

someone could argue there are 20something Chew 1 pages and only one or so 9.9s, but i tend to agree with you...the art page should be worth more than the book, even in a slab

 

a lot of BA books in 9.8 are $100 or more...many of the pages of those books, even good ones, go for a lot less. does that make sense?

the pages were priced at $150-175 at SDCC. 9.8's were going for that amount. the 9.9's went for $350ish. again, different strokes for different folks...

Now, the 9.6 WP #4 on Pedigree should be interesting.

$50k and counting.

OK, before I post pics of recent acquisitions...anyone here score with the CLink auction?

Lotsa pre-100 / 9.6 / White issues.

I had my eye on half a dozen, but was only able to put bids thru on 3 of 'em. Got zero.

 

Silver lining here...JLAs are still worth something (monetarily of course, we all know the stories & art are cr@p) !

 

Can ya Boast? Or are you Toast (join the club).

 

Rick

two bids- toast, wasn't even close. i thought some of those 9.6's went for crazy $ until i checked GPA and realized they were in line to down w/ the last sale.

some threads are better off staying dead
