Detective Comics # 100 CGC 9.4 from Sparkle City

Thanks for the info. I guess you cannot always trust GPA especially if you see the prices out of whack like your Batman # 171 and the Action # 100.

I am a loser and a racist. I also have a small .

If I had the 7K I would purchase the Batman # 171 CGC 9.6 in a heartbeat. very tough bok to find in any high grade. Would I pay the Twin Cities price of $11,000? That I wouldnt.

Sparkle just sold a Batman # 171, CGC 9.6 Highest graded for $6,500 I think yesterday. There is the Twin City copy in that grade which sold for almost twice as much last year. Thats why you never know what will happen in a No Reserve Ebay auction I guess.

 

I sold my Batman 171 9.6 for $7k on CLink a few months ago, so the $14k was pretty out of line I think. The Twin Cities was the lone highest graded copy at the time and probably drew a bidding frenzy because of it.

Nah, it's because people just don't like you.

Batman #171 is the first silver age appearance of the Riddler. Its a tough book in real high grade!

I always find that it's best to stay away from named collections which are being released initally through a major auction site amid great fanfare and hype.

 

It's usually better for your pocketbook to wait 6 months or a year and buy an equivalent or the exact same copy for half the price.

[Archie123]

I think it depends. Batman # 171 when sold was the single highest graded. The copy that sold last week I guess was graded later and now you know there are two copies out there instead of one so buyers will pay less. If a third one pops up you can find it even cheaper.

I know, that's why I had in on ComicLink in the first place.

What about the Billy Wright books? I think with Golden Age pedigree books its a different situation than Silver Age pedigrees.

[Archie123]

Is this the first time Billy Wright books will be available in the Heritage auction in February?

[adamstrange]

The BWs debut in the Feb auction

[Archie123]

Does anybody have a link or can someone share how they found or who found this collection?

[EJR]

Go to HA.com to find the Billy Wright books. Incredible books, too bad Billy Wright is deceased and so is his wife.

[Archie123]

Where was this collection found?

[EJR]

I think Virginia

Do you think the bidding on this book will be less because of the Super Bowl this weekend and many people will not pay attention and books will be cheaper?

Dream on. This is a boring SB. I live in the Midwest and most I talk to here could really care less. Two East coast teams and one from New York. Boring......

I wish you were correct but I doubt it.

+1

 

Plus sniping software makes it easy to participate.

[Archie123]

One can dream. Oh well lets see what happens. And also that Action # 1 in there will have people attention.

Who knows? If I was choosing an ending date for my auction I sure wouldn't end it the same day as the Superbowl! I will be enjoying the game and I can also keep an eye on any Sparkle City books that I am interested in.
