AJsLongboxComics Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So should I buy a copy now or later? Now? Or later? Now? Or later? Now? Or later? You should wait until later when the price has doubled. I really think now is the time as opposed to later. When Batman v Superman goes insano and the real JL movie talk hits, I think this and some other relatively undervalued DC keys will skyrocket so high they will need a stewardess on them. Just my opinion (and no I'm not trying to sell any ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 DC keys still have a ways to go to catch up to the gains on a lot of the bigger Marvel SA keys, so there is still plenty of room to go for B&B #28 and others IMHO. The only question I have now is how high will B&B #28 go - will it hit $2000+/grade point like the bigger Marvel SA keys? It is the second biggest DC SA key next to SC #4..........

(and that's just the GPA sales) I think it's reasonable to think that trend will continue across the board as things evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen 6.0 sell for $11.5k and $11k - which is dangerously close to $2k/point. Know of at least one 5.5 that sold for over $8k. The question becomes when will GPA catch-up....because that is when larger market pricing will react/become accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPA is fairly useless, they'll record 1 recent sale and then compare it to another sale at another time in the past. So if someone out of the clear blue paid a million dollars for a 6.0, does that mean the new going price for a 6.0 is now a million? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone out of the clear blue paid a million dollars for a 6.0, does that mean the new going price for a 6.0 is now a million? No. I agree it is not the "answer." My point was just that it does drive market pricing to a degree and it legitimizes sales in a way that can be productive. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is "useless," I actually feel quite the opposite. In particular, if someone pays a million bucks for a 6.0, that is important and relevant to market pricing. Will it mean that all 6.0s now go for a million bucks, definitely not. However, it will mean that pricing will and should increase to some extent. It goes without saying that one data point does not make a trend. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 wow...I've had my sweet 5.5 at $5500 without a nibble last 2 cons...admittedly I've decided to pull from sales inventory and wait out the market, but maybe I need to pay more attention...

I wouldn't sell it for less than $8k, cons don't seem to be treating the book well. The market on this book is smaller, but growing. More movie announcements and trailers will only accelerate it IMHO. In fairness I haven't seen strong sales in grades below 5.0 personally. So it is a bit of a tale of two cities. You are definitely the expert though. I just dabble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accessndx Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 We've been up and down the "GPA isn't complete" road quite a few times. Having said that, I don't have access to everyone's secret sales data and am limited to what I know personally and what I see listed online via GPA or other sources. It's not a perfect system, but it sure beats shooting from the hip in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 5.0s going for $5500 now, you could probably get $6K for a nice 5.5 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
