Ok, the FF 120 9.8 is out of control (rightly). $3k so far. Wow.

Going to be a fun watch at the end 🙂

Some recent arrivals. Shockingly, I don't think any of these are Bob hand-me-downs.

I think you made the right choice. 

Yes he did: $9300!!!

Very nice, Bob!

The FF 120, 122 and 125 all did very well also.

(118, 123 and 129 weren't too bad either)

The auction results have been great, well beyond expectation.  I'm sweating out the last few titles now.

[namisgr]

I'm happy to report that the market for high grade picture frame Marvels remains strong.  It's especially strong for top census copies, and record prices can be realized for those with few other copies in comparable grade.  It's also very strong for first appearances of characters slated to appear in the Marvel cinematic universe.  But 9.4 and 9.6 copies of issues for which there are 9.8 examples to be had often did not meet their expected fair market values, unless from pedigree collections.  And the reprint titles Marvel Tales, Marvel's Greatest Comics, and Special Marvel Edition underperformed expectations.

Of the 11 Conan picture frames, four sold for over $1000, while six of the 14 Fantastic Four issues also topped $1K.  Overall, of the 94 auction books, 17 went for four figures, with the Spotlight #5 cementing its position as the most valuable of the picture frame Marvel genre.

Once again, the auction results serve as a reminder of how wildly imprecise the CGC Registry is in assigning point values to the picture frame Marvels, with the 94 books going for a whopping 80% more than their Registry points, led as usual by the scarce top census copies but aided and abetted by books with extra cinematic universe juice like Spotlight #5 and Submariner #50.

Thanks to everyone in the thread for indulging the frequent postings of scans from my now former collection, and special thanks to those of you who bid in this or the previous auctions.  All that's left for upcoming auction are the picture frame Westerns, the stray Marvel Spotlight #6 scheduled for October, and a small handful of slabbed undercopies - when the books have been slated for auction, I'll post it here to let interested parties know.

Awesome results Namisgr!  Too lazy to photograph all the Conan’s but here’s the first picture frame.

I struck out again,  but at least I bumped them up a bit.

54 Westerns.  That's going to be your last shot.

I wonder if a boardie was the lucky winner of the ASM 104 in the recent Clink auction. Tough in grade with good centering. GOD BLESS....
