Feb Heritage Auction

[Gatsby77]

Mitch--I'm not sure what the highest price ever paid for a comic on Heritage was, but my guess is it's the Detective # 27, CGC 8.0, that sold in Feb. 2010 for $1.0755 million.

 

Interestingly, Metro/ComicConnect had at least 7 comic book sales that were higher than any from Heritage last year.

 

Note that the highest price paid for a comic on Heritage last year was $167,300 for the Archie # 1, CGC 8.5 (although there were two 2010 sales of Detective 27 that broke $400k and $600k, respectively).

Yeah! I came in at #7.

[Aman619]

And on the right side of that deal too.

[nearmint]

With BP, Batman #1 is already over 100K.

[comicdonna]

The prices are rising on the Actions.

Got my eye on one. Maybe two.

Interesting site.

Does anyone know where a copy of Marvel Comics #1 sold for $367,000 that they reference in their top ten article?

I am not sure. The sale isn't listed on the $100,000 club site.

There's at least a couple missing there on the 2011 list too. X-Men 1 for $200k last April from Metro, FF 1 for $300k last May also from Metro.

 

I think the Marvel 1 entry is just wrong. If you google "Marvel 1 367,000", this list is everywhere. Someone just looked at Rob's various lists and messed it up I bet, probably based on the old pay copy $350k sale.

Which, I should point out, is about 3 months behind on updates.

 

I've never heard of a Marvel #1 that sold for that much, however. That's a sale I would remember even if I didn't capture it on the list.

Thanks for the help, I see a change coming especially after may ha. Auction, it is gonna be there year along with everybody else. Upon going over the auction I came over three sleepers for this auction.

 

1-Little giant detective funnies# 1 rare does not begin to describe this book and very low so far on bidding prices. A sure winner from Billy collection.

 

2.Little giant movie funnies#1 again gerber 8 and rare and not much action on that one, a sleeper. Another Billy book.

 

Best for last

 

3- Zeppelin stories 3 the "action 1 " of pulps. Outrageous, very very rare, and in good condition for its age. A true classic.

Its way too early to judge a book by the "action" or bidding you see on it now.

Little Giant Movie Funnies is also an early Centaur (the company that eventually became Marvel) from 1938 and happens to contain a story with a villain named... Spider-man

 

 

[Mmehdy]

I did not know that, right now they are at about 200 bucks, does anybody have ballpark what they should sell for?

[G.A.tor]

little giant 1 is scarce, but not "rare" like #4...I figure it should go for $500 ish (a 4 sold for 2500+ a few years ago)...

 

now, I am going from memory, so don't flog me if I am wrong

Here's a page. At the time Stan Lee was 16 and his uncle was running the company that Stan would to go work for the next year.

The information I have gathered was this was a big seller in the 1930s then the Hindenburg disaster made people frown on Zeppelin adventures overnight. It had to be pulled fast because people were in shock. I guess Marvel`s Martin Goodman ended up owning the characters somehow. Anybody want to clarify or add more to this?

[Deucedriver]

I received my hard copies today and really enjoyed scanning the Billy Wright books. Amazing collection. The only thing that continues to amaze me is how CGC gives such high grades with the prominent dust shadows. 9.0+? Come on, those things are hideous. I could understand a qualified grade, but I think a Universal grade weakens the entire standard, as loose and subjective as it may be.

 

 

[Bronty]

I don't agree with some of the rules cgc makes up as it goes along, but at least they are generally consistent:

 

All Star 3 MH with largish dust shadow 9.6

Mitch,

 

Sometimes I wish you wouldn't open your mouth on the so-called "sleepers" every-time you see them on a Heritage auction.

 

I think it's great discussing the auctions and the great books, and possible prices, but during the auction, drawing attention to sleepers can be annoying to those who are bidding on these books.

 

Thankfully, one thing I noticed is that you seem to have great knowledge about the "big books", (the mainstream books), but have limited knowledge about the real "sleepers" in this auction. This is good for those of us who want to pick up a few of these. Guess they are not worth your trouble, since the profit margin wouldn't be great on these.

 

It does please me though, that you are an investor first, and a collector secondly. This is evidently true, since you did not mention the real sleepers in this auction (I think it's because you do not know).

 

Unfortunately, others do seem to know...since the bids are starting to go through the roof on a few books that are genuinely rare items that I want.

 

You are right (to your credit) on the Great material showing up (the best books available on the Marketplace in years), I need to hit the lotto, and MANN-UP on these books.
