I just cant wrap my head around all this cool stuff. I'm thinking about most of the flat pieces, the macys/worlds fair stuff. Its a nice cross section of interests for me. But man, that only known copy of Superman #18 with the pin is something else.

Just over $600K with 14 days left. Predictions? Will this break $1.5 mil?
I hope this is at the preview event in chicago next week. Would love to see it up close.

If you are in chicago, Chicago Boy, Heritage has an office there with a Comics rep in house.

I try not to be dismissive of other peoples collectibles but what I really don’t get is how anyone knows or believes what the print run on something like this is. If I played this modern variant game I would personally be vey worried that marvel pre prints1-10k of all of these supposedly rare variants and just warehouses and slow rolls out the 9.8s over the next 5-10 years, sending them straight to auction houses.
With what this book and a few others sell for you could easily pay for the warehouse space and staff a few people to do this for years.
If they dont do this, they should. Or am I way off, do they have some authenticated and verified tracking system for how many get made and it’s all kept in tight order?
I mean, that's not marvel's MO. They dont like to warehouse ANYTHING.
What i do know is that they FOR SURE overprint the ratio variants. Then they blow them out for $1 a piece to big accounts. I know a friend who worked at a very large comic shop with an internet operation, and sure enough they had bought 1:1000 variants by the hundreds for $1 a piece. i would never trust "rarity" of modern variants.

what were the lots? They were not in my watch so I was not sure.
Looked like a couple of little nemo pages.

Average lot in this sale was six figures, wow. 5.8m across 50 lots. Remember not too long ago when 5.8m was an entire three day auction, and a good one?
2 lots were withdrawn as well...so 5.8m across 48 lots.

This is why low grade/high eye appeal is where the money is best spent and saved in my opinion.

I mean, that .5 amazing fantasy 15 that sold for 21k sort of means the secret is out i think.

my count is 129 right now - 97 on a promise collection search and 32 not written up with descriptions yet - and they'll all be hitting the Thursday afternoon session? they certainly won't be putting them into the weekend, so maybe Thursday and Friday. Still, east coast work hours.
They're the experts, but I'd be sweating bullets.
No videogames this time, so that opens up a floor session as well.

Anyone else notice all of the complete, restored bat1’s have disappeared from eBay besides the 9.6? Cheapest complete bat1 left is the voldy 4.5 that had restoration removal for $195k. Dunno how it managed to nab an unrestored label considering the previous label under cgc said cover cleaned if I remember correctly. I wonder if the days of a 5 figure complete bat1 are passing.
Next heritage signature.

Well, according to the email from Metro this morning and even before the one from CGC arrived in my email box, it looks like this is the fourth sale of this copy by Metro/CC within the past 10+ years.
Vincent in the email states that they first brokered the book for a world record $1.5M back in 2010, then again in 2017 for $1,750,000; for $2,050,000 in 2018,and now for $3,250,000 in 2021.
Actually, now that I think of it, should it be at least a couple more times for Metro with respect to this copy here? If it's the one owned by Kramer from back in the mid 90's, I am quite sure the original purchase along with the subsequent resale must have been done by Fishler since most of Kramer's books went through Fishler at the time.
so they announce a private sale every couple of years when they need some publicity. Seems legit.

Yeah, everyone one of them has that "if you shake their hand you better count your fingers" vibe.
