And not every day you see a Scooby Doo #1 (1970 Gold Key) come up for sale in 7.5 grade! That could be fun. Oh poop. GPA doesn't list C-L results, and i forgot to place tracking bids. I might have to grab some popcorn and watch the conclusion of this auction. I would forget price tracking bids on this Clink auction, think of a fair price you would pay for a book then times it by four.

I might have to grab some popcorn and watch the conclusion of this auction. The Swampy ended at $2,001! Huge number for a book that has been trending between $800 to $1,200 & has been mostly flat since the live action show was canceled. White pages and great centering are a tough combo for Swamp Thing #1. This one had pretty good centering, but not dead on. I believe this copy sold back in 2011 for about $450. jimjum12 and Rip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was a Golden State copy, which isn’t a pedigree, but a couple of bidders may have mistaken it for such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But for my own personal tastes, I wouldn't have jumped my bid up from the averages by that much. This was a nice copy, but to kick up about 40-60% over the recent averages, I'd need white pages & dead-on centering, or seeing the entire 'c' on the 20c on the cover. Still - it seems like tons of books are way up, and if you want the book, you'd better prepare to go up and get it in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been after a G/S Werewolf 2 in 9.6 for God knows how long and there is one in the Clink auction, I thought I would be sitting there Monday night with a beer and bang in $375 at the last minute and blow everyone else out of the water, what a pity! It is at $550 with 3 days to go, the same price a 9.8 went for in a Clink auction last year, yeah I want the book, but I'm not prepared to pay ridiculously over the odds for it. I remember a Fear #2 selling for $400 in one auction, then it reappeared in a later auction and I won it for $117, and it would not surprise me if a lot of these books fetching silly money in this auction turn up in the not too distant future and sell for a lot less..... one can hope.

kimik Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 GSX 1 is in a run up across all grades now, just like we have seen with IH 181 in the recent past. The high end pops and everything lower adjusts up. zosocane and HotKey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like common sense is out the window right now on a lot of stuff! I know I’ve re-focused on a lot of books & titles, as I’m not going to compete with what’s going on right now. I’m trying to ‘go where they ain’t.’ I believe you are right - in that some of these books are going to fall down at some point. When? No idea. I’ve seen some good speculation in the Modern forums about spending drying up after summer, with the assumption that Covid starts to come under some kind of control and folks look to more ‘normal’ life patterns & stimulus money going away. But books that aren’t keys will not be able to maintain the crazy. And some of these keys will flatten. This looks like a bubble to me. I just don’t know if it will deflate or burst.

kimik Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just thinking about past conversations, and this is probably the 4th or 5th time I can remember prices spiking since CGC started up. Each time we talk about the jumps not being sustainable, only to see books pop again 3-5 years later. If you are looking for a copy of a long established key, buying one once the run up ends and they plateau for a bit has been the way to manoeuvre in between run ups.

Indeed, and despite how much I have overpaid in the past for certain Bronze Age comic books every single one is worth more presently, some quite a bit, than what I paid. Of course, when I finally decide to sell them they will not be. batmiesta and MisterX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $3600 FOR MY 9.4 2 1/2 years ago, and questioned my sanity with that purchase. My GPA analysis collection tracker is way off on values because the record sales are far outpacing the rolling average refresh rte the program uses for assessing book value.
