Heritage Auction?

[murph0]

How'd everyone do? I came up with a Hulk 181 CGC 9.4 for 1,800 dollars. Tried to get a DD 81 9.4 for whoever it was that wanted one, but it went for over 200 dollars and I wasn't gonna pay that much for it. Also tried to buy that ToS 41 but it went above and beyond my expectations. Anyone else buy anything?

Hulk #181 for $1800.........man they saw you coming

[murph0]

Rather buy it on there for 1,800 then on eBay for 2,300. :\

I won a Fantastic Four #34 in VF 8.0 for $58 after BP (guide price in VF is $73), and a copy of Fantastic Four #39 in VF- 7.5 for $60 after BP (guide price in VF is $73).

 

#39 has an awesome cover with Doctor Doom, the Fantastic Four, and Daredevil, and I was shocked to win it for around guide price.

 

Did I do good, or do these early Fantastic Fours usually sell for guide?

 

Here are auctions with both issues (so you can see what the covers look like):

You might want to check and make sure you won. I just looked at the 2nd chance offerings and it looks like almost all of the silver FF's didn't meet "reserve".

In general, I was none too thrilled with their prices.. ASM 79 and 87 both went for over 300 dollars each..which is pretty high IMO. I tried to win that ASM 6 8.5 but my bid for 1,100 dollars was too low

I also went after the DD 1 9.0 but it went above what they were going at on eBay so I stopped.

Anyways, it looks like Heritage auction prices are starting to go back up a bit.

DD 81 is a tough book to find in high grade. I went after a few books and to my surprise actually won a few. Did not try and snipe either. Just tossed in a few bids and found out this a.m. There are a few nice books still out there at reasonable prices (FFs, modern books, TTA)......

[fantastic_four]

Got the Spidey 32 CGC 9.0 ($198), Fantastic Four 119 CGC 9.4 ($64), and the X-Men 128 CGC 9.6 ($78).

 

I wanted the Spidey 33 CGC 9.4 in the worst kinda way. It was SO perfectly centered! You rarely see that issue anywhere close to centered. But I didn't see any way in heck that it could be a 9.4; it had a 1/4" color-breaking crease in the URC, 1/8" color-breaking spine stress near bottom staple, slightly rubbed ULC, slight chipping on the right side (especially next to the "33" label), and a color fleck missing near the ULC. I would've paid at least $600 if I thought that grade was right. Anybody think I was wrong about the overgrading? Here's a scan: http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/hnai/300/13011/13011029010o.jpg

So maybe my asm #93 is not over-priced at $250? Same grade. Just a thought.

 

Ther is ASM #6 CGC 8.0 starting at $500.

[Bonds25]

I did get an email from Heritage, so I did win. Yippee!

[hammer-migration]

The Spiderman 33 was a high end VF/NM with unusully dead-on centering. Pre-chips and round, "feathered" corners? Combined with spine stresses? In NM 9.4??? NO WAY. You did well to pass.

I was bidding on a bunch, but only won four:

 

Action Comics #292 CGC VF/NM 9.0 $110.40

Action Comics #298 CGC VF+ 8.5 $87.40

X-Men #40 CGC VF+ 8.5 $47.15

X-Men #97 CGC VF+ 8.5 $65.55

 

The Actions were above guide, but they're hard to find. The X-Men were under guide, so I thought I got a nice deal on them.

[murph0]

I looked at that too, I thought that book was going way too high for how it looked. The centering was nice though.

I'm still shaking my head about 79 and 87..both of those books can and are easily had on eBay. I bought my 79 for 197 dollars from Comiclink.

And yes, your 93 is still way overpriced due to the fact it's in a part of the run where they're fairly common..see also ASM 99 which went for 150 in CGC 9.4

Are you asking me? The 34 you did okay on, the 39..you might have been a tiny bit high..but your close. One was on eBay and went for 54.
