kimik Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I missed the auctions due to running around with the kids, but I thought that the #6 went for a good price considering I sold the 7.0 copy I posted on the site in December for $250 within 24 hours.

kimik Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 a cheer heard from HK as the smushed MC #4 9.2 sells for less as a 9.4 Take that, evildoers! It's been happening so often...a flipper lost again and this is the seller reaction A big part of the probem with the Mound City early GL books is that prices were driven up by one collector who was chasing and outbid by the speculators. As we know, the market is small at the top end for SA DCs so once a couple of the collectors fill their runs with suitable alternative copies prices have nowhere to go but down. The pancake and flip game works better with SA Marvels since the pool of buyers is much larger. In addition, I think that since it was speculators who purchased a lot of these books initially they have shut out most of the other speculators who could have bid up books on a slab and flip premise. The blatant "upgrading" of these books likely sours collectors as well since they can easily see what the "raw" grade was before the pancake and reslab since this was a high profile auction. Add in the fact that the MC books sold at a market top, and you have a recipe for disaster from a profit perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the fact that the MC books sold at a market top, and you have a recipe for disaster from a profit perspective. I sense during that time we were near a top for the SA market and have mention in the boards about it. I predicted the first million dollar comic sale, and more to come. This scenerio had played out and speculations played a big role. Prices couldn't rise forever in a straight line for so long, so a crash and pullback was inevitable. Many of the SA are still up substantially the last ten years, so this is healthy for the market. There were lot of fast money coming into the market, and some of the collectors are ending up holding the bag. The winners it this market are: the auctioneer, collectors/investors who did not over extend themselves, and the patience collectors.
