B&B #57 Has Metamorpho hit the jackpot??

[Mushroom]

I try to avoid posting about high grade Heritage auctions but this one truly floored me. I have an 8.5 and a 9.2 and have been looking to upgrade. Now both my books were bought more than 3 years ago at below guide. So I am thinking to myself....hmmmm....9.4 maybe 1.5....2x guide......WTF happened

 

Metamorpho

 

For goodness sakes....he is a great character but he is second tier and this book has a 9.8 and 2 9.6's.

i've always liked metamorpho, i own these books raw and they are such a great read. i'm also glad that the justice league cartoon had metamorpho on the show too.

That just doesn't make sense,...even with Metamorpho in the new Titans series that is waaaaay out of range...

[Rocketeer]

I take that back,....actually average price is $821.00... ...I never would have guessed that!!!

Me too pimpy....my boys think he is cool now he is in the cartoon. Metamorpho, Deadman and the Metal Men are just my all time favourite second tier characters.

"This is the year for second tier".....

"This is the year for second tier".....

 

That mean next year is third tier??...and I can unload all my Captain Action's??

If that happened then the world would truly be coming to an end.

Think of it this way.

 

Most Silver-Age Marvel before 1968 get around 3-4 times guide in NM, REGARDLESS if they are Keys or just COMMON books.

 

At least this is a DC Key.

 

If I decided to throw big dollars on DC books (I don't, I throw them at Marvels), the first books I would get would be Key first appearances.

 

The times, they are a changing.

[g-man]

this one barely went over 2x guide......does anyone else have any recent figures on this book?

Fortunately we don't compete with the speculator dollar anywhere near as much as Marvel.

It must be speculation in advance of the Metamorpho movie.
