Looks like someone is cashing in on their JLA's ....Comic Link April Auction

Got this awhile ago on Ebay and finally got it scanned. Always wondered how the league was formed...

JLA #95

Very nice books Johnny!

Thanks Tim!

Spookley,

That's a great batch of JLA's you have there! Even though it's not as HG as the rest, the #23 does have almost better visual appeal.

Thanks Shadow!

The 23 has nice bright colors, would love to find 9.0's that look like that

Those are some sweet books Spookley, especially that 23! I love the colors on that book.

Thanks John

Here are some recent pick-ups, I haven't had a chance to post before...

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'm probably going to sell the bronze/copper age issues to raise some more funds...I'll probably keep most of my 1-100 set and sell only the ones I'm not totally happy with

There was at least one JLA in the Heritage auction that I was really targeting, but I'm sad to say I will not have anything to share in this thread.

 

Anyone else win anything?

 

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

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! )

There was at least one JLA in the Heritage auction that I was really targeting, but I'm sad to say I will not have anything to share in this thread.

 

Anyone else win anything?

I came out with nothing....and I bid very aggressively on JLA #44 with White pages...I thought I would win that one for sure...

i pizz on 9.4's. i told them i wanted the world's only 9.2.

Of course, technically yours is the 2nd 9.2. I had the first 9.2, which became a 9.4 after Josh bought it on Heritage.

ALL my 9.2s in that auction became 9.4s after Josh won them!

Always liked Dr. Light, even if he is a DC doormat.

This was my first silver age JLA...I still have it...bought it for $5 when I was 10 years old or so...mine's probably a little more beat up though

Detroit Mike, that is a fine looking B&B #29! Mine's nowhere near that nice but I got it for a good price 10 years ago at Comix Oasis in Allen Park.

Detroit Mike, that is a great looking 6.5....I saw that and almost bid on it (haven't seen a copy as nice as that one for some time)...Great buy (thumbs u

Finally!

I have some "down time" this morning. Last 2 weeks have been pretty busy.

I already have a JLA 37 in CGC 9.4, but that 9.6 went for much lower than I thought. If I didn't have one already, I would have bid much more than $650

 

Thanx for saving me money!

 

Rick

Rick,

That was a great buy at that price (thumbs u

Guess I'll have to settle for just 1 win. This time.

Rick

Rick,

I was going to bid on that 41 also, but when it went over $500 I passed. I have been trying to limit myself on purchases before ComiCon. I was also thinking about the 64 but I bought the Flash 107 instead as I needed an upgrade there.

 

John

I didn't bid very aggressively for this auction because I have my eye on a couple items in the next big auction ending next week

Yo Tim (or anybody else),

 

Did you take a gander at the #42 9.6A?

 

I was ready to upgrade from your 9.4D...when I noticed something along the middle of the top edge which might be black over-spray, but looks more like a cover break??? Can't be sure either way, so I didn't want to take a chance.

 

Surprised it made it to $978 if that is actual damage.

 

Without that whatever-it-is, I would have jacked it up another 15-20%.

 

Thoughts?

 

Rick

I was following the 42, but I was also a little wary of the indentation on the top edge.

I already have a JLA 37 in CGC 9.4, but that 9.6 went for much lower than I thought. If I didn't have one already, I would have bid much more than $650

Didn't win anything this time

Perhaps someone needs to tell the winner and underbidder that the movie is off?

 

Far be it from me to complain about skyrocketing prices, since I own a 9.6 copy, but WTF?!

 

Dang, take away those 2 nut-jobs & that book goes for just over $300 vs the final $1,175 !!

 

 

OK, I admit that I am indeed "domenicbasketball" and I am not someone you wanna mess with...so stay away from any & all other HG JLAs!

 

Rick

I have been so busy over the past week...I have barely had the time to check the boards...I forgot about that JLA #27...That final price is about twice what I was going to bid!!

Does anyone know the Mike of the Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics website?

 

Why has he let his superb site lapse?

 

 

He found paid work. A lot of development was done when he was out of work.

 

 

I haven't let the site lapse. It's been up and running as usual. I've continued to put in 20-40 hours a week on it just about every week for the last 10 years. I've also never been "out of work", I've held a real job the entire time.
