It actually sold for $911 which is insane, considering you can buy a CGC 9.4 at the moment from an online dealer for $175

Secret Wars 8 in CGC 10 condition

[nearmint]

Thought about bidding on the Tec 69, but just can't with that massive stain on the back cover.

OMG! How about an ASM #252 at CGC 9.9 for $5,655! I mean c'mon

Secret Wars 8 should sell much higher than the current price

[faster friends]

I bid on a Daredevil #160 CGC 9.8 but it too went higher than I expected...

Sparklecity is now carrying books by reputation... check out X-Men 142 in a 9.8. Sparklecity's copy is currently at just above $200.

 

Another seller has a BIN at around $175 that also includes free shipping that is just sitting there.

Thank you... I actually like the looks of that 5.0. It is on my radar.

[lizards2]

oops.

Brian does tend to earn strong prices, reputation is (and should be) important in the biz. And true auctions are always appreciated (very rarely do you see a reserved book, although I know there are a couple this time).

 

I may throw my hand in the frey on a couple books........The cap does look nice, but It's already pretty close to the max I would pay on it.

 

[dr_manhattan]

Absolutely none of the OA seems to be selling. Not meeting reserve

It would be on mine, too, but the rust on the staples has migrated to the cover, so I'll pass.

[shrunkenhead]

I'm very tempted to make a play for the Cap 1...trying to decide if I want to sell my ASM collection to replenish the coffers.

[nearmint]

Buy it and get rid of that nasty tape.

[monsterbento]

I thought the Marvel Team Up OA would meet reserve at $200.. one minute to go!

[Rip]

On the buying end no luck so far.

 

On the sales end I can't complain. The MM 38 was my biggest performer so far. I thought for sure it would be the AS 2.
