Zonker Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Astonished that Detective #395 which I graded as Fine went for this much. It had already been bid up past $70 by Friday afternoon, prior to the news of Mr. Adams' untimely passing. And the other Adams books I had ending yesterday closed at nothing-special prices, so this outcome seems to be specific to this comic.

I would have expected $80-$100 before the sad news, so this is in line with where it should be in the current market. A month from now it will likely be back to normal pricing.

MAR1979 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) WHAT IF? #34, What Gives? Listed 12 hours ago and already up to $1577 in what may be "legit" bidding? Of course with eBay legitimate non market manipulative bidding is always on the table. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313981277478?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=69b9d3ce87374ea5bb34553f9d911257&bu=43192897304&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20220503062129&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid Huh? Yes it is a funny comic, and was in my top 5 childhood favorites! But why on earth is it at $1500+? Books CGC Label CGC Total Avg.
