This seems unfair.  It's not like we have people from Heritage, Comiclink or Metropolis/CC posting here regularly.

Sure, maybe I was too harsh (it does look harsh re-reading it). I may just be extra-tough on Goldin, from whom I've bought a fair number of sports cards. But with this big of a player, better to be overly critical than under-critical.

Oh no, I have been on the boards since 2015 and lurking long before that. At one point I was a fairly active member. This is my original account and my profile pic is my old Silver Streak 6. Although I will admit my activity on the boards recently has been almost none.

As I said it before missing this thread was an oversight on my part. I Should have checked the Golden age thread as soon as I started. I should have known you guys would have had a thread on the auction. So I apologize leaving you guys in the dark for so long.

Why should we be motivated to work with Goldin when someone in your position doesn't think to check this board, or even do a forum-wide search for "Goldin"? The attention to detail seems lacking, when this is supposed to be such a big deal.

Yes--once a buyer has paid for an item and we've shipped it, the consignor gets paid and if anything happens with the buyer after the fact, that's our responsibility. Consignors are never bothered by buyer complaints, returns, etc. That is a significant source of value we provide to our consignors.

I'm so hesitant to sell anything worth more than ~$150 on eBay out of fear of scammers and other negative consequences. Removing those risks from the equation is such a huge plus.

I must've looked at my copy in the last few weeks, and I've never noticed this. Amazing!

The last couple episodes have definitely been improvements; the voice acting and animation have always been strong, but the writing has been much better--less juvenile and more subtle. Glad to see the show trending upwards.

Quicksilver, Silver Surfer, Silver Sable, Grandma's Silver, Silver Streak.  What's the difference?

The amount I have to spend to get their 1st appearance.

It's X-Men 4. The CGC notes for FF 48 say "1st appearance of Silver Surfer, and Galactus (cameo last page)., Inhumans and Watcher appearance." No mention of Quicksilver.

Only 23 comics included in this first offering; they're good comics, but this is...underwhelming to say the least.

So no one believes that eBay itself has a shill bidding problem? That it might not be seller specific. I really think this is sorta eBay blaming an outgoing client for their own problems faults.

That's exactly what's happening here. It's a problem throughout eBay, and eBay is largely unwilling to fix the problem, except when it involves a company that's about to leave the platform to start its own platform.

Hasnt it already spiked?

Somewhat, but relatively few recent sales. Seems to have plateaued a bit.

I'm wondering if Strange Tales 110 will spike sooner than expected, based on the Spider-Man trailer? Seems like Strange will play a prominent role, which may cause a jump even before Multiverse comes out.

There's been a ton of discussion about this on sports cards forums (e.g., blowout's forum), and the macro points are: (1) PWCC has been shilling forever, and it's a problem; (2) eBay actually did this because PWCC was about to leave anyway for its own platform, and (3) eBay is unlikely to crack down on shilling much beyond PWCC.

Why?

Personally, I find that buyer profile interesting (albeit distasteful). Good to know who's in the market for these types of books at the moment.

Some SA books seem to cool down a bit. Avengers #6 CGC 9.2 sold for $1,722 last Tuesday, about the same of what CGC 8.5 of the same issue were selling for not so long ago

Probably lifted up by Zemo appearing in F&WS, and now cooling down?

All those highly coveted Star Spangleds, of course! 

I dare anyone to outbid me on them!

Which previous books that shot up after a movie "dropped like a rock"?  I only collect the major titles, but all of the issues featuring a major character that got a movie bump didn't drop significantly afterwards.

Avengers 55 is one--Ultron rocketed and then plummeted.

The 7.0 will slip through the cracks and go for a song 

UK Variant; It's currently at $37,200, while the 9.6 is at $1,860,000.

just remember-when the miscreants go to sell the cards-they face the same situation.

One can only hope.

hopefully sports cardies have a blocked bidder list.

They do, but the breadth of scams is shocking.

I'm looking forward to this. Kind of regret selling my Eternals 3 recently; had I known the trailer was coming I would've held off, but oh well.

Your in the Silver age forum, exactly how many SA 9.9's have you said "no thanks" too??

I didn't bid on that Thor that came up for auction recently, out of principle.

I'll predict the AF 15 to go somewhere between 2.5 and 3 million. It won't beat the Action 1, but it'll come close.

Standing by this.

Then there’s this...

 

That's a Gem Mint rookie for two of the five greatest basketball players of all time (Magic and Larry); it's akin to a 9.6/9.8 copy of FF1, if FF1 was also the first appearance of Spider-Man or the Hulk.

It's always amazed me that of all sports cards, it's a Honus Wagner that is the most valuable.  In comic terms, it would be like Green Lantern #1 being the most valuable comic, ahead of Action 1 and Tec 27.

It's obviously an inexact comparison, since the T206 cards for players like Cy Young and Ty Cobb also command huge values, as do the early Ruth and Gehrig cards. But it also shows that sports cards are a different beast from comics.
