Youre Final thoughts on Action # 1 "6.0" Results.

[thedude]

Well now that its a day later and we have all absorbed the auction what are your final thoughts on the results ?

There are too many threads on Action 1.

that was actually my first reaction, but then I figured, it is action 1, you really can "never" have too many threads going

Yes, you can.

have you though this through... just think, if the entire front page was filled with Action 1 threads...what a glorious day it would be

 

Would people still want to own an Action #1 if there was a warehouse find of them and prices tanked or is the book special not only because it is the first but because it is rare?

 

 

 

I don't know, but I'll gladly take one of those warehouse copies.

I would kill for a warehouse find, as I am sure any number of fans would be...

anybody ever find out if the supes 4 and 6 sales went through or not, btw? Those would be exhibits 2 and 3.

 

From what I hear the sales are legit & Heritage has been paid.

 

And everyone with an early Supes wants to know who those two bidders are!

Seriously. I'll let my 14 & 17 go for a mere 10X guide... any takers?

In mind mind, it was not a disappointment, but not an overly impressive result either.

As George said, it sold for the right price.

It was a disappointment only because of overblown expectations. There are people acting like it's a funeral because the book sold for "only" $317K.

 

$317K is an excellent price. It's not even a top 5 copy of Action 1, not is it the best Action 1 to be available for sale during the last 5-6 years. Back out the freak $200K price which was (over)paid for the 4.0 copy, and this price is in line with a nice rate of appreciation from previous sales of Action 1 in this grade. The hobby should be celebrating rather than doing a post-mortem.

Sanity. There's no room for that here! Please reserve your comments for hyping the hell out of this book or kindly keep quiet.

Sorry, you're right. How's this instead:

 

AAAGGHHH! THE TRAGEDY AND INJUSTICE OF IT ALL!!! HOW COULD THIS BOOK NOT HAVE SOLD FOR MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE???!!!! WE SHOULD ALL JUST SLIT OUR WRISTS!!!!

 

Every celebrity and rich dude should have stumped up for this book! In protest, I will never ever watch another episode of Seinfeld, another Spielberg movie, another Lucas movie (okay, maybe that was going to happen anyways), another NBA game with Shaq, or buy any Microsoft software.

[buttock]

What about Obama?

[tth2]

Wouldn't it worry you if a President of the US, who's NOT the scion of a wealthy family, could afford to drop $300K on a comic book?

[buttock]

He dropped a trillion on an economic recovery model that's failed twice in the past 70 years, what's another $300K?

[action1kid]

What about Obama?

 

Now you know the Client John Dolmayan said he bought it for.

 

No wonder it had to be hush hush

Two sane posts in one thread, what are these boards coming to?

 

Peter, you really need to learn how to overreact and start a flame war or you're not going to fit in around here.

[action1kid]

Actually I do agree with Steve which is not a secret but I illiminate myself on the grounds of being bias by way of owning a better copy.

Am I the only one that was very impressed with this sale... it's hammer price and the way CC handled it?

 

Six years ago, a CGC 5.5 with OW pages sold at Heritage for $121K. In the interim, everything around us has collapsed or at the very least gone down in value, most of the time considerably. And this books, a 6.0 with CR/OW, sells for $317K!!!

 

We need to be a little realistic here and keep things in perspective. I think this sale was rock solid, very healthy for the market. Any sale price that was much higher or considerably lower would make me think twice as to whether this hobby was healthy.

You're not the only one. I thought it was a $240k book. They marketed it brilliantly and got it sold for a great price in a terrible economy without currency propping up a subset of bidders. Kudos to them.
