Dark Knight

Yeah Bat 1's went for less than expected. The Cap 1 2.0 was slightly above my expectations. I had it at around $85k tops. The Superman 1 CGC 1.5 sold for a strong price @ $176k. Last 1.5 was last month for around $130k I believe. The Action 1 and Punch 12 stole the show with way above my expectations. I think the last time the Punch 12 Crowley sold for was $55k before this new sale.

I checked the CGC certification # on that Goldin 9.2 book and it is not showing up. I emailed Goldin about it and they told me it was reordered with a new cert # which they provided me. When I checked it out, it doesn't show the grade nor any notes associated with the book. Very weird...

Yup! And after knowing that someone jumped on it quick at $12k when there is an option for a best offer, there's always the possibility he will resist for an even higher buy price. But anyways for me, the biggest red flag is the seller himself. No other listings other than the cover. Also no recent history of selling anything at all. Lastly, his last sale was a month ago on maybe just 1 item based on his feedback card. There's that possibility it could be a hijacked account. Who knows, but we'll see if the buyer gets the cover.

Yup. Who knows, might get relisted again for higher

It's back up for sale. I wonder what happened... https://www.ebay.com/itm/166317864988

I don't think it is a FFE cover because there are the dotted cut-out lines on the back cover, which is not on the FFE. Also the blues for the FFE have a much lighter tone than the original. To me at first glance, the ebay covers seem to be the original from 1939.

Seems like AF 15's are once again rising in value

Very impressive results for this Bobby Blue collection. It definitely exceeded my estimations. The hammer prices at which these books sold for were as if they were Pedigreed books. Reminds me of the Promise Collection during the first time they were auctioned off.

Well, that's why we all had about a month or more to prepare for this auction. I managed to write down the lots I was really interested in and split up them up into 2 columns: w/ 15% BP and w/o 15% BP. With that divided, I would then write down my max for each one with the 15% BP calculated. Once the auction is live, I'm well prepared to bid. It would be easier for bidders if CC would split up the auctions and auction all books with the 15% BP in one or two days and then the following days w/o the BP, but it is what it is.

Is that book really worth that much? I'm not familiar with the data price points for this particular book. Yeah I know it's rare, hardly ever does it come up for sale, but I don't get the appeal of the cover if you ask me. For a Chesler book, I'd rather pay this amount towards a Punch 12.

The CSS #22 CGC 6.5 did extremely well at $24k

For $64k, gimme an AF 15 any day

Yup, that was indeed a beautiful 3.5 copy with the grey colored background which I prefer better than the more common yellowish background. Looks much cleaner and the reds on Spider-Man are deeper red. If it weren't for staining, the book would probably grade in the 7.0+ scale. The CGC 5.5 that sold did very well, I must add!

Just got this in. Truly a beautiful and well-made toy. Has that 80s nostalgic vibe to it with a modern twist. Very happy with this purchase

Better do it quick as it may not be in theaters long. It flopped hard with a $6.5 million opening. Wow really, that's it!? I'm pretty surprised by that!!! The previews looked fantastic I thought. I'll try to go this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing this movie in theatres

I'd be down, but I am already in 3 leagues . I don't think I can handle another

This kinda looks like Galactus

Yeah def $50k minimum. Not a good looking copy to be honest with all those rust stains on the cover. But hey, it's a complete Bat 1 and should be fairly affordable. Unrestored 2.5's pushing at around $225k

If the book was not damaged inside the older holder, than yes

Someone mentioned in another thread that the collection was first talked about in Facebook where the son inherited his dad's collection and that he needed the funds right away to pay off some bills I guess. He has no knowledge about comics so he had them consigned with Hakes.

I requested them to be checked out for the CVA sticker. No additional steps at all. Just sent the books to the auction house and they handled everything else.

1.5 at best

Resulted in the same thing as well for me. Even went on my phone to the comiclink website and sure enough had some spamming pop-up I am not a robot thing happening over and over again. It was annoying and had to use an anti-malware program to remove the malicious ad.

I do agree with this. We have our own eyes to judge which copy we would like to put into our collection. There are so many variables because some don't mind having books with marvel chipping or writing and such. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yes a sticker from a third party is not really needed to make judgement on what is considered to be a top percentile copy (eye appeal-wise) of that book in that grade. Having tracked down copies with similar eye appeal where one has the sticker and one doesn't, most of the time, the copy with the sticker hammered a higher price. Some folks don't mind paying a premium for CVA or QES stickered books. My experience with CVA is that when I auctioned off a few of my books and asked if my 3 books would pass getting the CVA sticker, unfortunately only one of them was granted the sticker. The other two I really thought there was a great chance to achieve the sticker because they have as good of an eye appeal as the one. It seems there are pretty strict guidelines that must be met in order for the book get the CVA sticker. It is not handed out freely no matter how high a value the book is worth.
