The restored copy ( my former copy ) could have gone higher. The 1.0 I think went for an ok price given appeal and PQ.

I wish that I had more cash last night. Almost everything that I was watching went for way less than I expected. Is it the Berk collection? Can the market just not handle this quantity of material being dumped at once? I don't know. But HA did not have great results on many, many books. And now, CLink follows it up with more unexpectedly low hammers. I saw a Tec 122 8.0 sell for $5600 last night, when a raw 2.0 just sold at HA for $2250. Or a 4.0 Tec 36 at $13.7k when CC just got $15k for a 3.0 that didn't look as good. And that is an insane price difference. Or the Tec 30 3.5 at $1100 per point when one just sold at CC for $1450. Yeah the PQ was better on that one. But does PQ increase FMV by 1/3? I thought it was 10% +/-. I bought the Tec 32 last night. It was one of the few books that hit its potential. It ended exactly where I expected. And the Tec 33 and 42 were the other books that did as I expected. Personally, I thought the Tec 34 1.0 ended low as well, given that an 0.5 incomplete book just sold for $1155 on eBay last week. I expected $1200-1500 on the Tec 34 1.0 at CLink.

Yes with ultra high end books like pre-robins it looks like the spread is widening, pq and overall presentation brings noticeably higher numbers. Look at an AF 15 with chipping or less than ow/w vs a clean copy in the same grade. Same with recent tec 33 results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent call on the cover fade. The interior tape and detached centerfold wouldn't hurt it in my book. But that cover fading completely eluded me. Once I put that book next to similar graded copy on HA, It was obviously a desirability-killer. Glad that I didn't pull the trigger on what I thought was a steal.

Precisely - CLink prices were strong in other areas, so the "Berk theory" is dubious at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotham Kid Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Looking at my archives found that the 35 just auctioned on ComicLink went for $34,333 last year. Buyer had book re-subbed (likely crack/press) only to come back same grade and sell for $30,009 minus the 10% minus grading costs. http://comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fbids.asp&id=1174733 http://comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fbids.asp&id=1138472 Edited June 4, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some of them even failing to hit condition guide prices which is definitely not the norm when it comes to nicely graded GA books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi sacentaur: you mention that CLink prices were strong in other areas. Any books you could cite as examples? I was following some of the Planets and Foxes, and those prices were above guide but certainly not crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
