Any ideas why this book is so hot? A 9.2 closed out at $252 a couple of days ago. See links below.

I would absolutely love to have a nice copy of this (i.e., 8.0) as it was the first Spider-Man I bought from the newsstand back in 1970. I always take a look at this issue at comic book conventions and the lower grade copies I see always have tanning, especially around the edges of the interior covers. Bad paper for that month or bad luck on my part?

Yes, Brian, it does look like someone may have done that. Very high price for this isse. Every time I see something like this, I wonder if I would be better suited pulling my NM ASMs and sending them off to new owners. I haven't given in to the dark side just yet. ;-)

 

And yes, the is an old-fashioned, typed emoticon!

 

V/R,

Mike

Looks like a POSSIBLE shill upped the final bid paid to 2275 dollars. I would be willing to bet that if I list my 9.4 copy on eBay tomorrow, it won't break a grand.

 

True that my brother...let's double-post and set reserve at $1500...

Hey Gang,

I'm the seller of this ASM 86. It turns out the final underbidder was a zero-feedback flake/thrill bidder of some sort - now "no longer a registered eBay user" so the real final bid price was $1,469 -- NOT $2,275.

 

Still an incredible result, but not AS crazy as might have looked when the auction first ended.

I sold my ASM 86 CGC NM+ 9.6 and only got $415.00.

Even at the $1469, there is NO LOGICAL explanation for this sales price...sure it's one of the more rare BA ASM in 9.4 or better...that's why it goes for $500 range, and not $300-350 range. You could expect to buy 3 ASM 86 in 9.4 for this price...makes NO SENSE!!! And as someone else mentioned, not even a perfect copy by any means... :insane::o

OK, but at least the winning bidder was crazy enough to bid $2275. These things establish new GPA levels and in future auctions bidders feel obliged to bid more to meet the historical prices others have paid.

The very reason I won't use GPA

 

too many Sellers cling to it

 

like the Antique Junk dealers splattered all over the country

 

they see the NM- 9.2 Column in the OGPG and that is the quote they sell VG 3.0 junk at - I always turn around and walk out

 

CAL doh!
