lol, the Gutenberg Bible.... who are we ...Bill Gates? How much is that worth anyway.. .def more than an Action 1.
3 hours ago, BoogieWoogie said:Very hard to say what it'd be worth today. The last sale was in like 1987 for a bit under $6 million. If one came up for sale today I imagine it'd break into the $100M+ range. Imagine if Bezos and Musk both decide they want it these things were printed in the 15th century... they're rare...
First book printed on a press! Let's talk some real dang keys
Bill Gates does have rare manuscripts/books collection but I don't know if he owns a copy of Gutenberg bible or not....He owns Codex Leicester, 72 pages of Leonardo da Vinci's hand drawings/writings, probably the most valuable manuscript ever came up in auction

Well if illustrated book counts,i would like to get my hand on vingt milles lieux sous les mers par jules verne first edition in mint condition(hey i am allowed to dream right?)
no, illustrated book is not the same category as comic. Ancient illustrated books go all the way back to the 15th century

Hello friends,
Simple questions:
1. What is most expensive non superhero comic?
2. What is most expensive non DC, non Marvel/Timely comic?
3. What is most expensive ancient or platinum age comic?

So I passed on a beautiful 5.0 FF 49 because I saw there was a printer defect on Galactus. There is a dot on his helmet above the visor.
From what I have seen this is on like 5% of books.
Does this kind of thing prevent you guys from buying a boon typically? I can’t tell if I’m being too ocd or not.
you passed on a bargain for THAT????....that doesn't bother me at all......I would've not noticed, and chances are most people won't notice it too.
off-center cover, whitespine on the other hand.....that will trigger me

CGC label should read like this:
180 = THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF WOLVERINE........FULL STOP, not brief appearance, not cameo bull****
181 nice first cover of WOLVERINE and HULK ....or something like that
At some point CGC will have to do this, to stop the injustice done to 180 and give it the full credit

One book that will never go back down in value : Iron Man # something, first appearance of The Ghost? Or was it just Ghost. That really memorable villain from the last Ant-man movie that will be important to collectors til the end of time.
It's still a thing right? *gazes at wall full of Iron Man # somethings displayed on wall*
Keep your Iron Man comics, at some point Disney will have to reboot the character. Iron-Man is MCU biggest money-maker in toys revenue. BY FAR, like not even close.
And Disney's toys and merchandise revenue is like 3-4 times of their movie revenue....there is no way Disney keep IM grounded, they want that toys revenue even more than the movie revenue.....The only other character that can match IM toy's revenue is Spider-Man......the rest is just meh, even not selling at all (like Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, etc)

Evening all,
I ran across something that has piqued my interest and I’m hoping you can shed some light. It may be something common or at least easily explained.
The box in upper left corner being blue on one and green on another. I’ve got plenty of examples of the green and can easily see by previous sales that that’s common.
Are there other factors that may have contributed to the color variation?
All pages in tact. No missing ads. Staples and pages line up. Publisher dates and locations are a match.
I think that's more like the ink from printer.It's either ink error or different printer or the order they got printed (The left one, with rich colour, was from the first batch that got printed. The second one was from the last batch before they reloaded the ink again)

This looks like one of those b-tier TV show

As per latest MCU announcement, FF movie may not come out until late 2023, and that's a good thing, give me more time to collect more FF SA books

Not really...regarding FF4. Randomly selecting some recent sales...
6.5 this march for $6600, a year ago I'd say it was a $6K book...
3.0 in march for $2200, a year ago I'd say it was a $1500 book...
While it's gone up, sure...it has not seen anything remotely close to the craziness the rest of the "key" market has seen as of late. Serious question, what sales are driving you to this conclusion? Maybe I have some blind spots...
that 6.5 for $6.6K is old news
here's the more recent one

I'd like to think that #2 & 4 are going to start moving soon. Marvel has plans for the Skrulls in the Nick Fury/Secret Invasion Disney+ show so the 1st Skrulls could potentially move. Marvel has big plans for Namor as well.
FF4 already left the building, in term of value, I think this is the order: FF1, FF5, FF4, FF48, FF49, FF52

This is the advice being offered on one of the facebook groups to someone who asked what grade slabs they should start with:
"Number #1 only buy 9.8. number #2 only buy key issues or #1's. don't buy X-Men #14, buy X-Men number one. #3 pay attention to sales of cgc stuff"
uhg
obviously this chump only buys modern garbage ...

QUESTION:
This is the last FF book with Kirby's art, before he went to work for DC. As I understand Kirby's move to DC also marks the transition from Silver to Bronze, does that make this book the last of FF silver age??

Can GPA be used right now? I've been seriously looking for a JIM 83 2.0 and I'm happy to pay GPA, but I can't find anything even $2k over GPA. that would be a miracle.
I don't think so, SA keys still detached from GPA prices

Looking at 8.5 grades, I can see how one might think that this book is slowing down a little.
But I’m still not seeing enough data to draw any conclusions that H181 is slowing down as a whole, especially when you consider that pre-movie speculation price jumps really haven’t occurred yet. We might see some dormant activity, but I highly doubt this is where H181 levels off.
More proof that IH181 bubble has burst, down on every grade
Grade 9.6: 27.2K down from 31.5K early Apr
Grade 9.2: 14K down from 18.5K late March
Grade 8.5: continues its downward move to 10.35K
Grade 7.5: 7.8K down from 10.2K early Apr
I notice GSX1 starting to come down too. Which makes sense these bronze keys are not rare to begin with, not like SA keys

Big keys are going for 30%-50% more than market price - every sale seems to be a new record. I haven't been able to get anything at market price other than some items on the boards, but even those prices are at a premium at times. It's not just the auction sites, either. It's some of the bigger dealers and brick and mortar stores that I have frequented over the past few months. It looks like the dam broke at the start of the year - I long for those reasonable times only six months ago.
Some bubbles actually starting to burst:
IH181 underperformed on every grade in this CLink auction, 8.5 to 9.6 all down from all time high from late march
GSX1 also down

And since I have a VF FF49, I was cheering the last minute rise in auction prices on CLink.
BOOOO!!!!!
FF52 is HOT as well, those 2 books are probably the hottest FF, or even hottest SA books right now

Amazing data @catman76 thank you
