Captain America # 100

[burntboy]

So i was browsing through both GPA and Comic Link to see what certain books were going for and was quite taken aback by three recent sales of the above book.

 

A 9.6 with O/W pgs was listed in CLink in late January and sold for $2850.

 

A 9.6 (Boston Pedigree - pq unk.) sold per GPA in Feb for $4617.

 

A 9.6 (Rocky Mt white pgs) sold in early Apr for $6155.

 

the time spread here is only 7 weeks.

 

the Dollar spread is 216%.

 

My question is whether the huge jump is due to the time differential, the PQ difference or the RM Ped designation??

 

I expect it's a little bit of each but it still seems like a huge jump to me. which attribute do you believe had the most impact??

where's the crack option?

What a waste of money. The book is soooo common in HG. Seems like we have a lot of stupid collectors entering the hobby now.

The RM designation definitely obtains a significant price bump. I was bidding on some of the Rocky Mountain ASMs during the last CLink auction and they were closing for about 2 - 2.5 times the GPA price for a non-pedigreed copy.

since I've followed Cap 100 for years, I can tell you that the prices being paid are absolutely insane. INSANE. I have less of a problem with people paying crazy prices for Avengers 4.

 

Now that being said, high grade Cap 100s have all but disappeared from shows.

Yup. And it's been going up steadily the last year. I was very lucky to get a nice copy a few months back. Hopefully Hulk 102 won't follow suit, I still need one of those.

That book is so unbelievably overpriced at 9.0 and above that it has reached the point of being humorous. Anyone paying those prices who isn't doing so for the express purpose of flipping it to the next guy at a profit is an insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

Did you press it yet?

[The Silver-Age]

Makes me sick. I remember 6 years or so ago seeing 2 9.8 copies on ebay. They both sold for under 2k each. I remember thinking, "Good God thats a lot of money for that book!!!" REALLY wish I would have pulled the trigger on now. I had the money then too. That add's insult to injury...Oh well. Coulda, shoulda, woulda....

Brian; I guess it must be time for me to unload mine then.....I let my Avengers #4's go way too low over a year or so ago, so this may be my moment to "break even"...

Never seen so much action to an empty statement. Guess it beats quoting myself Dice.

I actually was replying to about why Hulk #102 ? (No CAP , movie etc.) , but it was long and I was too lazy to retype it by the time computer issue was resolved.
