more stuff from the 1991 Sotheby event and the grading committee

[Ameri]

The 1991 event always seems to get all the attention because it was the first but it continued yearly. The Sotheby's 1992 auction was very non-Timely oriented but it had these two copies of Marvel 1.

The greatest comic book ever published.

Here's the highlight of the 1993 auction. First listing for the payout copies with a historical explanation. The original art of the MPFW covers were listed too.

The lady in the back was the director at Sothebys, then Jerry Weist, Tom Horvitz (I believe) and Pat Kochanek in the glasses. Next to Jim Payette is Ernie Gerber.

I remember this one, they were exciting sales. Marvel 1 was worth more than Superman 1 and I think it also toped Action 1. All in all the 90's were pretty good for comics and a pretty good decade in general.

From the first Sothebys Auction of comics in 1991. looking back the grading is a little wacky and the prices realized even wackier.

Sotheby's had it at 8.5 with no glue.  You have to wonder if something changed, or someone is wrong.  I have a suspicion that CGC overcalls glue from time to time.  

 

BTW, lovely book!

This will be the last book I ever part with...

Towards the end of last year I had my early Caps regraded or reholdered...

Jeepers, such beauties, many congratulations. Wish I had some higher grade ones but was not meant to be and ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Here's my copies.
