And to think 40k for my 9.0 was a lot at the time, still holds true that if you overpay for a key it's just all about the HODLing.

Until and unless you actually cash out during your lifetime on your book you won't know if you've overpaid or not - the huge difference, however, between today's escalating prices and years past is that it intuitively feels like a balloon is developing now with IG being a continuous never-ending echo-chamber . As entry level prices on blue chippers become increasingly prohibitive for the vast majorly - there becomes a much smaller class of collectors, who can afford to own such a big book and in turn might get turned off by the hobby . I know as I write this I could never start collecting keys now like I did not so long ago and thus I wouldn't even be involved with comics if I were starting off. Prices were insanely high earlier this year and have plateaued since on a lot of keys - I think that trend continues but for the occasional spikes when a movie is announced. In the end it really isn't fun to collect keys unless your wallet is deep as opposed to owning a slew of keys already - in which case you can post your keys online with bragging rights and statements like "I paid this ... look at me." . my 2-cents Edited December 19, 2021 by Roger66 KCOComics, nmtg9, alexgross.com and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the other thread is not needed. However, Batmanis#1 is the person that created the other thread "so people can discuss (auctions and prices realized) here instead of on the main topics for each book", and then he posts the same thing talking about the auction/prices in both threads! So...it's a bit hypocritical and he should delete the other thread. Edited December 20, 2021 by drbanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemedgroup Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 On 12/19/2021 at 8:12 PM, Batmanis#1 said: There are simply not many in 9.0 and higher wish I had purchased a 9.0 or higher when I had the chance but I did not. X-Men 1 in 9.2 or higher rarely ever come up for sale some times not even once in a full year or close to it. So the bidders know if they miss it they will have to pay more down the road or possibly never own such a high grade. Same for all mega keys in certain grades in the SA. The hot book now is Hulk 1. Hulk 1 is . I passed up a chance to buy Hulk 1 CGC 6.5 for $26k two years ago. Now worth at least double that. RetiredOldMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That $27.6K was the low in 2019. Only 4 sales that year: May 6: $30356; August 1: $37200; August 1: $36000; and then this $27600 in November 2019. So it was actually a $36-$37K book, as approximated by Sweet Lou, before the $27.6K outliter in November. Next recorded sale was over $50K in 2021.

This was a private sale offer. But thanks for correcting me. Obviously I’m wrong and the internet is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the relative share of sales of big keys is for private vs what we learn from GPA/GoCollect. I wish we could learn private sales data more often, especially for books with relatively few data points, like IH#1, Showcase #4, etc, or even just when it disagrees with contemporaneous auction house/eBay results.

I can tell you, over the last 4 or 5 years, I've had very very few public sales. Less than 5 with the big auctions and I'll pick up a book on eBay from time to time. All my big purchases have been through the boards, with established dealers and I've actually had a good amount of luck locally. I don't know if everyone is like me, but I imagine with the rise of Instagram and FB, a large % of sales aren't captured. Pantodude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
