234wallst Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I concur. Where do you put the value/what do you think it will go at? 4.0 is a great sweet spot in collecting slabs! A nice 4.5 just closed on ComicLink at $3100+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice 4.5 just closed on ComicLink at $3100+. I was actually really surprised of how low that went for. Inferior looking 4.5's have sold for 3500+ recently, and that was before confirmation of the movie release date. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put in a max bid of $3200 at the end thinking it would go well over that and my bid held. The only problem now is I have to move something else to pay for it now.

kimik Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks, but that is my current highest graded copy so I will hold onto it until/unless I can luck out on an upgrade someplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Paying GPA or slightly over works fine on bigger SA and even BA keys. Paying GPA or slightly over on flash in the pan "hot" BA and more recent keys does not. BTW, I am beginning to really appreciate the CGC barcode "date of grading" function on the website right now as their grading has really loosened over the past few months.

Well if there's cake, count me in. I've been down the pay more than GPA path myself. Don't mind being the record breaking sale if it's something I truly want and love.

Boba Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I was just talking about GPA in the Showcase 4 thread, GPA is great but far from complete. I've paid and sold book for multiples of GPA. Love it but wish they captured more sales. But if you do your homework, which includes GPA records - you can make an informed purchase, like kimik said earlier i believe, paying over GPA for keys is pretty common. I bet there's more than a few that would sell for well over the current GPA. And besides, if you really need a book that rarely comes up for sale, or is within a collectors budget - GPA ain't gonna stop a true collector from buying it. And that my friends is why prices ( and GPA) are rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulette44 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I would point out that more than a couple enthusiasts in our great hobby made their claim paying the highest price on record for a book.....then selling that same book for an even more impressive record price. Myself, I've paid MUCH higher than GPA.... In simple terms, If the book is increasing in value, then the average new price should be greater than the previous high (with some bumps in the road) Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
