Brave & Bold #28: Speculation on future pricing

Haven't posted here in a while, so forgive me if this has already been discussed - I looked back few pages :eek:

I thought a clipped-coupon got a green-labeled holder? hm

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brave-and-the-Bold-1955-1st-Series-DC-28-CGC-2-0-1260101002-/311440402253?hash=item48834b674d

 

I think you get a green label specifying what the grade WOULD be without said defect. However, if you request a blue label when shipping to the CGC you get the grade that you'd get WITH the defect.

SAY WHA :o

Never heard of this (shrug) That's a great little loophole.

 

What part do you see as being the loophole here? ???

 

Actually, I always thought that a book with a coupon out would always be labelled as Incomplete and get only a 0.5 grade if it was in a blue slab. Maybe it's only if the missing coupon affected the story which it did not in this particular case. (shrug)

Speaking at Brazil CCXP, costume designer Michael Wilkinson confirms that the dystopic sneak peek featuring Batman being unmasked by Superman is in fact a “nightmare scenario” dreamt up by Bruce Wayne. He talks about the alternate “desert Batman” outfit, as shown in the scene:

 

 

It is a different look. [Director] Zack [snyder] had a great idea of this sort of nightmare-ish vision, almost a vision of the future, a post-apocalyptic vision. It’s like a dream that Ben [Affleck] has, so we wanted to, it has almost a ‘Mad Max’ quality to it where it’s like the end of the world, trying to survive and then of course Superman and his minions come, so it’s sort of a way of representing the amazing amounts of, the sort of obsessive quality that Bruce Wayne has about the threat of Superman.

 

In this film, Superman, of course he’s normally seen as a figure of hope, a positive thing, but in this film, his motivations, the consequences of his actions are really being questioned by the world. Is he a savior? Or is he a dangerous alien with unknown intentions? And this becomes an obsession for Bruce Wayne. And he really wants to sort it out. So, it’s manifested in this sort of incredible dream that Zack decided to create.

 

Wilkinson also briefly acknowledged designing a suit for The Flash, confirming that Ezra Miller’s speedster will make a cameo appearance in the film.

 

Well, I’m not really at the liberty to talk about the Flash right now, but it’s something that you’ll be seeing in the future in our films. You do get a glimpse of him, of course, in ‘Batman v Superman.’ But I’m really looking forward to taking the amazing, iconic costume for the Flash and interpreting it in a fresh way where Ezra Miller is playing the Flash. He’s an extraordinary performer, he has a sort of interesting sense of humor and the youth that will be great for Barry Allen and I think he’s going to make a great Flash.

Wow, did someone take a huge dump in this thread? LMAO, no action in almost 1 month even with the new BvS trailer?

 

Not much auction or price activity on the book leads to lack of discussion, I guess. I am thinking of putting one of my copies up soon just to test the waters.

There's been activity, it's just on the QT:

 

CGC 1.8 Universal Blue: Dec-05-2015 $1,550 Cert# 2675971002

CGC 2.5 Universal Blue: Nov-26-2015 $2,025 Cert# 0271999001

Nov-18-2015 $1,950 Cert# 1205083001

CGC 3.0 Universal Blue: Nov-03-2015 $3,395 Cert# 0193465008

CGC 7.0 Universal Blue: Nov-26-2015 $14,300 Cert# 257446001

 

Some dips as well but that's normal during the post summer cooling period.

Overall the trend is upwards especially in the lower grades which are more abundant.

This is probably the most "disappointing" result.

I would say the 6.0 for $5,650 beats it on the disappointment meter.

That wasn't on the list, but that price in grade sucks as well (or it is a solid deal for those who bought).

Looking back at price action the past 4 or 5 years on a 6.0 copy, the best time to buy is November/December, while the best time to sell is during April - August. (thumbs u

 

This jives with the comic market action in general. Buy at the end of the year to flip the following summer.
