I was blown away at how high this got...is this normal?

That is a whole quantum leap above the next highest grade (6.5, which last went for $1550) according to GPA. 1st true appearance of Sgt. Rock, rare in anything above 7.0. Nothing surprises me about this book, it's been super-hot for a long time, but that is still a spectacular price.

 

An OAAW #83 CGC 7.5 sold for $9,600 in the August Comiclink auction as well, so there was a good chance that the 8.0 was going to eclipse $10k. I was a bit shocked with the final price, but the OAAW #83 is being recognized as "THE" key War book to own.

 

That book is impossible to find in any grade. I recently bought a low grade war collection that had many of the keys from the DC war books and the early 80's OOAW's EXCEPT #83 :(

So, now that all three auctions are over...I'm curious as to what impressions everyone took away from this week long gluttony of comic-goodness.

 

My thoughts:

 

- High grade/scarce gold that's in demand (classic Superman covers, Schomburg covers, esoteric horror, pre-hero Marvels, etc.) still will set records, indicating that part of the hobby, which is generally comprised of older, more financially stable collectors is just fine.

 

- SA and BA Marvels continue to stagnate or decline. With few exceptions, the prices I saw this past week were good, to OK, to downright tragic. Generally speaking, early SA keys did well, while BA keys didn't fare so well. BA DCs are starting to fall into this category too.

 

- SA DC in high grade was generally very strong. Certainly a case where supply hasn't caught up to demand.

 

- You just never know what you'll win if you place enough garbage bids. :acclaim:

 

Anyone else?

Many of the Marvel preheros went on the cheap + included in that were several top census copies. Too many friggin' auctions!! :sumo:

Thought I'd just toss in my winnings.

 

Was fortunate enough to upgrade and complete my SA Animal Man collection (all 5 books!):

 

Upgraded my 9.2 to this lovely 9.4:

How cool is this! Picked it up from Heritage.

 

Cover proof

Nice!

 

Those cover proofs are cool - right up to the last second I thought I was going to buy the cover proof for #18. Woulda been sweet to frame and fits right in with my war bonds collection. But, alas... :sorry:

Auctions I wish I had gone in on (though who knows where that would have pushed prices to:

 

Green Lantern #34 CGC 9.4 went for $175 (GPA= $287)

Sea Devils #33 CGC 9.4 (one of 3 highest) went for $125 (GPA = $388)

Showcase #50 CGC 9.6 (one of 3 highest) went for $275 (GPA = $560)

Green Lantern #25 CGC 9.4 went for $426 (GPA=$777)

 

 

Yes, it looks as though some of these prices have fallen from the stratosphere and are starting to approach Overstreet valuations again. (thumbs u

$20k on the FF 12 in 9.4. Ouch. The Saginaw in the same grade just sold for $48k.

 

Yes, a definite OUCH!

 

Somebody really got taken for a ride and got totally reamed on the Saginaw copy. :tonofbricks:

 

The Saginaws were well-timed and caused a feeding frenzy. Perhaps there are people who only bid on ebay and don't go on the major auction sites, but either way Sparkle City were there first after the online seasonal dearth (when the market is focused on Summer Cons), and ended before the glut commenced....

as if the words "Overstreet" and "valuations" should be used in the same sentence

How's that?
