Have both and love both, but there is just something special about the sub 20 Supes issues/covers, even more so the really early ones like #5 I know #5 is more valuable pound-for-pound than Action #31, but regardless I still pick Supes #5.

the Promise books previously sold on the high end, or just during the comic boom. you mean sold on the completely insane end !!!!!!!! No way those prices reflected anything in reality then or now ..........

looking like more of an outlier recently than anything ..... sort of like the $100,000 5.0 a while back. I'm sure you (and I) were very excited a couple years ago (I have a 5.0 as well) But this graph will get very interesting as we move forward a few more years into the future

but isn't this just a simple calculation that Mike didn't need to answer - 4% of 4 million ........ 4% of anything over $1000 and there is your number ? The added insurance answer is very interesting though .....

yup

Action #1 ? -- all day long, even PLOD no hesitation (if I could afford one now)

well, well said indeed !!!!

bump.................................................... Not sure these quickly escalating high prices will serve the hobby in the long run

Yes, most here know and appreciate that ....... but Batmanis changed everything ..............let's get back to celebrating an iconic publication, and maybe talk price here and there for sure ........................

Seriously, congratulations!! I know exactly how this feels for you as I have the exact same run ( ....and ongoing as well) but I was lucky enough to grab AF#15 a while back, so it is a very precious run for me.

definitely have fun with this -- it's sounds like you already are, which is great. But I have to say it looks like you don't have a lot of $$$ there unfortunately ........

this is correct

Batmanis must be itchin' to jump back in here .....

I agree - what is this thread actually about ? I'm confused - if I wanted to drop $408K on a book, I can see it (auction houses actually show and fully describe the book). Plus, there are NO 0.5 comics that are completely coverless as far as I know (and others here know) ...... But the bottom line is you HAVE to see and know everything about a book if your are even spending hundreds on a book, let alone thousands ...

Time to MaNN Up !!!!!!!

$400 max and let them figure it out after that .......

what he said

Respect to a Comic Giant

What a great THREAD !!!!!! signed, An absolute nobody in this field compared to you giants

not all-time low if you paid 40 cents back in the day .... always winning !

Oh My !!!! Spectacular, both !! I give my stamp of approval ...

I see a brutal $43K for a recent 5.0 sale, but then looked at grader's notes and it has heavy MC ...... but really need to see these mid-grades get back up there to believe we've turned the corner back up the hill

speculating on moderns = losing game
