AF 15 sells for $80k

[TheShadowKnows]

in this climate (for comics at least) an unrestored action #1 in 7.0 might set the $$ record for a comic book. A 6.5 sold for something like $250,000 a couple of years ago so it wouldn't shock me if a .5 grade bump and two years would add $100,000+ to that number.

That seems like a reasonable number.But anything can happen at auction of course.

 

Gator could do a better job than me at guessing at the top of the market than I could, since he swims in those waters.

 

But I would imagine Rob is not too far off.

Rick wouldhave to brake out his change sock if one did come up for auction

You guys are way too low. If a 6.5 copy sold for $250K 2 years ago, we know how much prices have moved up across the board for really desirable keys in the last year. I think a 7.0 unrestored Action #1 would be at least a $500K book today.

Thats a solid guess. And if it was a pool of say 3, it could go higher. Alot of guys WANT to own an Action 1, but only a few can afford to be aggressive in the pursuit. Couple that with how often you see one for sale, and you have a serious auction. If these guys are willing to spend 200K on a high grade AF15 which is common as almost any Marvel Key. Think about what an Action 1 could pull in this market

the question is would the seller be better off selling the 7.0 Action 1 privately? I think a top dealer could line up a sale petty easily for enough $$$ that a seller wouldnt take a chance on hitting a home run in an auction with 2 or more hot serious 450K+ bidders.

 

Bird in the hand.
