showcase22gr1959 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nice list. (thumbs u Has anyone noticed Green Lantern 87 has really been taken off lately. I'm trying to find a 9.6 upgrade copy, but it's going to cost almost $1K now. #87 has been a big book in 9.6 for some time now. IIRC they're going well over $1K No bargain in 9.6 for this hot book. Recent prices for 9.2 and 9.4 has been quite strong and looks like up 75%+ over a year ago. It could go even higher if they have a John Stewart cameo in the movie. Might be the time to add an extra copy. My copy is only a CGC 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The 8.5 GL #1 did not break $5500 in the Clink focused auction tonight, which is down considerably from the last GPA sale ($9K+ change) but probably closer to what the true market value is for GL #1 right now (8.0s are $4-$4.5K books).

If it wasn't the light tan to off-white, it could have reached there. And that $9500 8.5 was during the peak last year. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 the purportedly hot #18 in 9.4 went for 40% less than it did last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) From what I have been able to piece together, there were one or two collectors chasing high grade GL runs last year that drove up prices on most books until the Mound City auctions. We have seen prices sag a bit since then most likely due to the fact that they are no longer in play. Hopefully the movie hype/success next year will bring more big spenders out for GL.

tth2 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Some very nice GLs in the May Heritage auction which just went online, including a 9.4 #7. This copy is very nicely centered, and in that respect is superior to the 9.6 copy. Will be interesting to see how these do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Here are the only books I purchased at the Calgary show this weekend. There was another dealer/collector there that had a nice tight flat group of OO GLs for sale. Unfortunately, there was no copy of #76. The average grade was probably 7.5/8.0, and while I was interested in a deal on the whole run I decided to just stick with the couple that had slabbing potential. I also took the #52 since it was decent enough for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Strong prices on the GLs in the Pedigree auction. Very strong indeed. The Green Lantern 85 went kind of soft...it's bronze. Looks like GLs are smoking hot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I thought that the results were a bit mixed, to be honest. The highest graded earlier issues went for decent coin, but I kind of expected the #9 (1st Sinestro cover) and #6 (did not meet reserve) to go higher. It was interesting to see the 9.4 GL #76 did not meet reserve or break $8K. It is a great looking copy, but I guess the lack of opportunity to maximize its value with a quick press and flip probably held it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
