showcase22gr1959 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Last 9.2 sold on Comiclink for 100K, so 120K again on CL for this copy is strong price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accessndx Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 That climb from 35-50-120 is quite spectacular. I think in this case it's been the rise of the 8.5 8.0 - 9.2 copies that have caused lower grades to climb. Fixed that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 very impressive number to me. 100K for a DC SA book is something Rob React could track with one hand! Very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulette44 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It may have sold a little under expectations because as 9.2 copies come, it was a bit below average? Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryAllen Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 9.2's selling three times in less than a year doesn't help in the short term. Owners are gettin' out while the gettin's good. I would argue that there is still more upside in the book overall, particularly with the movie still on the distant horizon. However, super-high grade versions are hard to predict - particularly if more show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just isn`t much demand at the high end for SA DC. Wealthy SA collectors are almost always Marvel collectors because, guess what, Marvels were what they read when they were a kid. If a wealthy collector buys a six-figure SA DC, who`s he going to show it to? All of his wealthy comic collecting buddies are almost all guaranteed to be Marvel collectors. When he shows them the B&B 28 that he just spent $120K on, their attitude will be or or . He`ll say "but it was incredibly hard to find, there`s only 3 in the Census!", and they`ll go "Really? That`s, uh, fascinating. Now, back to talking about how difficult it`s been to upgrade from my 9.6 DD 7 to a 9.8 copy..." Believe me, I speak from experience!

roulette44 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I agree that marvel has more followers, but the ratio of supply to demand may be in DCs favor (meaning less availability for the people that want them). Add the pop culture effect we're seeing and the DCs are the ones with upside. Showcase 4 and AF15 should be valued at the same level in my view. Used to be this way but then a divergence and AF15 exploded. That should level off. Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Could it be that Marvel's have peaked and are going to start to recede as DC's rise, to the effect they close the gap? Also, I find it hard to believe rich guys only read Marvels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Also, I find it hard to believe rich guys only read Marvels. It's not the affluence of the buyers, it's the influence of Marvel. Before Marvel, kids would read their DC, grow up and forget about them, life called. Marvel was more influential, the characters had real personalities, kids grew up but never forgot about the characters.DC kids liked their comic books but Marvel kids loved them.

Dark Knight Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I was talking to a good friend of mine about SA Marvels vs. SA DC's. And he said flat out that SA DC's suck and not as great as SA Marvels. I told him that there are still good books in DC, but to me, are not as good as Marvel overall. Sure if I were to show him a high graded Showcase 4 or B&B 28, he would be ehh so what. But if I had an AF 15 or Hulk 1 in high grade, his eyes would light up. At least this is what I've been getting in my generation. Can't say for the older and younger folks out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of it that way Definitely an interesting perspective. You also have the fact that if someone is a wealthy collector into DC heroes, they can collect GA which is just as alluring as DC SA if not more so. This pulls away ton of potential money from DC SA I would bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocuous Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That's why GA TECs and Actions are sought after. I couldn't even give away a mid grade SA Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaSealed Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That's why GA TECs and Actions are sought after. I couldn't even give away a mid grade SA Flash. Exactly the reason I collect SA Flash(well the price and I love it.) At this point I have a pretty decent all around SA DC collection. There is no way I could replicate the collection in the Marvel equivalent or a GA DC theme. It would cost me 10+ times the amount of money.
