Eric Roberts?

 

Nope. I'm on the phone with Buffyfan and he said the winner was sitting next to him... doesn't want to be identified.

I wonder why, it is not like everyone that is there can't identify him

[rob_react]

What's the best copy worth now?

 

My brain is cracked.

 

I need to rethink pretty much every value I've ever attached to a comic book.

Maybe he's an agent.

Nope. My understanding this is going in his collection (that already has one).

We'll eventually find out who it is

All it would take is for someone like Nic Cage to get bitten by the bug again.I personally am surprised it's taken so long for comics to get to this point.Baseball cards featuring VERY obscure players fetching upwards of 3 mil,coins routinely breaking the million dollar barrier when the only difference from one to another is the date?Action 7 is HOT popular culture,scarce and UNIQUE from any other issue featuring Supes.In fact that formula applies to any early GA comic for the most part.With CGC adding a sense of security and the internet broadening the market base,it surprises me that we don't have 5 or 10 different comics routinely breaking a half-million.It's just a matter of time.GOD BLESS...

An amazing price, and certainly the result of two very aggressive bidders. I doubt this price for this book will be matched for quite some time. This is a collector purchase, not a dealer looking to turn around and make 20+% on it.

[action1kid]

this 143k on the Action 7 has really stunned me.

It is so so beyond any frame of reference I know of.It went for 10 times the price of the 4.0. I may have to become a restored collector

Baseball cards featuring VERY obscure players fetching upwards of 3 mil,

 

I guess I'm really out of the loop on cards.

What cards(plural? really?) of VERY obscure players are going for those prices?

Michael Jordan's minor league card

Honus Wagner

[agro23]

Honus Wagner

That's pretty much the only one I'm aware of at that scale. It's a scarcity issue anyway because he had almost all of them recalled and destroyed because he was anti-smoking. Maybe, what, 7 escaped?

[action1kid]

YES, HE IS REFERRING TO HONUS WAGNER

[MutantKeys]

.Baseball cards featuring VERY obscure players

Are you crazy? If you know about baseball you would know Honus Wagner was the Babe Ruth of his time

THANK YOU! You beat me to it. (thumbs u

I don't know why people always call him a no name baseball player

the price IS stunning, but not so stunning when you break down the bidding. The key aspect is the bid increment after 100K goes to 10K a bid. It closed last night at 90...asking 95. So all it took was three more bids. Thats not exactly a "bidding war". A bidding war is two guys with paddles or one on the phone etc who go back and forth with the price skyrocketing. Here, you had all the (lowly) online guys inching it upward, and 2 or three floor bids, one at 110 and the winner at 120.

 

Just another day at the office, boys! So who won it? And what else does he collect?
