Owners are gettin' out while the gettin's good.
I would argue that there is still more upside in the book overall, particularly with the movie still on the distant horizon.
However, super-high grade versions are hard to predict - particularly if more show up.
I agree with you. This book has not exceeded its potential. It's a great SA key.
There just isn`t much demand at the high end for SA DC. Wealthy SA collectors are almost always Marvel collectors because, guess what, Marvels were what they read when they were a kid.
If a wealthy collector buys a six-figure SA DC, who`s he going to show it to? All of his wealthy comic collecting buddies are almost all guaranteed to be Marvel collectors. When he shows them the B&B 28 that he just spent $120K on, their attitude will be or or . He`ll say "but it was incredibly hard to find, there`s only 3 in the Census!", and they`ll go "Really? That`s, uh, fascinating. Now, back to talking about how difficult it`s been to upgrade from my 9.6 DD 7 to a 9.8 copy..."
Believe me, I speak from experience!
Good point. Never thought of it that way
