Out of 11 JLAs that I went after, 5 are coming my way...but only 1 of those fill a spot in my collection; the rest are upgrades. Paid more than expected overall, but the profit I make on my under-copies should off-set that.
Now, can someone explain the gap between #12 ($1673) & #15 ($776)? The latter has far better eye appeal, while the former is only 3 issues/5 months earlier. Census numbers are close enough 51-to-64, but the HGs are 3 vs 3(+ a.6)...?
Does Dr Light command that much more respect? Or did I just luck out with my up-grade?
And how did #16, a 9.2, get a 9.4 price...$836 (C-Link)? I bid $100 more than I wanted to...and got wasted, so who's the lucky duck who got it (I know it's a board member)?
Based on the realized prices in general, it's getting harder not to cash in myself. Now that the movie is back on track...

Rick,
I think one of the reasons that the 15 went for significantly less money is because there was one that was just auctioned earlier this month on comiclink, so that buyer is out of the equation....also the 12 hasn't been for sale since I've been collecting again (2+ years).
From my vantage point, it seems that the prices on the early JLA's are very variable...sometimes you can get a 9.0 or 9.2 for cheap, and other times you have to pay aggressively...
This new competition is restricting my collecting goals!
(well, I guess half the competition was from Rick! )
