I had originally thought Heritage had exclusive access to the crypto guys and that only Heritage had the power to hammer at high prices. What Clink just accomplished makes me now think it’s the Bat 1 that has strengthened, no matter the auction house. Seriously, did you see that 1.8?! now I’d like to see what another auction house can do with a Cap 1. Heritage got $240k for the Promise 3.5 with a rusty staple. Just as I now believe Bat 1 has made a true leap forward(as opposed to a one-time outlier), maybe the same could be said for Cap 1. hey @Mmehdy @G.A.tor@woowooawake from your slumber. What say you? Clark......... I say for guy who was 2nd guessing why he paid so much for a Batman 1 in 2.5 few years ago And was thinking of getting out to go to rest home is now happy to have stayed in the comic world and only wishes that he upgraded sooner cause this book has in all grades. I had a solid 5.0 unrestored in early 80's that is now a E 8.5 that's not worth what an unrestored 1.0 is worth . Monsters-n-heroes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I’d only have my wife to talk to, and she objects to that p.s.

Popular Post lhcomics Posted December 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2021 It took me 9 months to sell off some PC comics to pay the $175K for my Bat 1 4.0 3 years ago. I got it in Jan 2019 only to see the next 2 4.0s sell in the $110K and 130K range. That was a gut punch. Now it's at a price that makes me look like a genius.

If I remember correct, wasn't Spidey 129 a super hot book way back a few decades ago before suffering through a big rundown in prices, and now have gone through a long extended runup in prices over the past several years. From a GA point of view, I remember this exact same scenario playing out with the early Fox books when they were super hot through the first big GA rush in the mid-90's and then not so much after that. So, oftentimes I guess it's just a matter of being patient and being willing to hold onto these books for their next up period.

From what I've see, CGC typically gives a grade of 0.5 to books missing a front or back cover, like this one, as opposed to completely coverless copies, which will get a No Grade (NG). Per GPA a blue label 0.5 missing the back cover sold for $51,600 in April of this year. I suspect this is a record for a green label 0.5 &/or any 0.5 with just a back cover. rsouxlja7, lou_fine and GreatCaesarsGhost 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
