Cosmic Boy Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I can maybe understand selling the cover separately, but the interior should have been one lot. I felt the same way until I got to thinking about how iconic that splash is. There are a number of coverless copies floating around without it that I've noticed over the years. And heck, it's so classic that somebody might drive up a bidding war just to have that splash and maybe frame it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Zombie Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Has anybody else seen the Batman #1 parts floating around eBay this week? I'm not sure whether the idea of splitting up a (basically) complete book into three auctions is genius or insane. On one hand, it might encourage a bidding war on a specific piece that someone is missing. On the other hand, it may discourage bidders who want all of it and are worried they may win some but not all of it. Thoughts? ethically: insane from a moolah POV: genious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) CGC 0.5 Universal copy of Batman #1 was recently listed on Comic Link: LINK Highest offer so far is 9K, which seems to be in-line with FMV considering the Sparkle City copy recently sold for $8,427 but didn't present as nicely as this one.

Jaydogrules Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&item=321278031376&si=T6Np1tB5%2FZYDnmTPautXEt6zbyY%3D&print=all&category=68 That $9k seems like a strong offer. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) As points of reference... A copy with a chunk missing out of the bottom sold for $7,977 last September: LINK A CGC Universal 0.5 missing back cover sold for $8,427 in February: LINK The copy on Comic Link presents better than the Sparkle City copy, so 9K doesn't seem out of bounds at all.

peewee22 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think it proves the price of admission to the Bat 1 Club is 10k at minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be the direction the market is headed, if it hasn't reached that point already. Throw out the entry .5 and the uber high grades, 8.5 higher, in the middle area, looks about 14K a point, less if the book is skanky, and more, if the book has great eye appeal, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entry-level 0.5's are approaching 10K per-ticket, and higher graded copies do not come cheap. In retrospect, I think the 9.2 auctioned off by Heritage was a bargain at $567,625. It was an absolutely beautiful copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the HG moderately restored Bat #1 going on ebay for +75K, the blue 9.2 certainly looks like a bargain at 570K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-Tec Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) This thread needs a... There is a Batman #1 CGC Restored 0.5, missing back cover, copy in CL's focused auction ending in a little less than two days. http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2Fauctions%2Fpreview%2Easp%3Fcode%3D2014june%26session%3D2%23Item%5F1016473&id=1016473 It's currently at $4,095. Any guesses as to how much it will close for? Edited June 25, 2014 by Wayne-Tec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I can't believe somebody bought the bound edition and ripped it apart to create this monstrosity just to try to make a couple bucks. Wait, maybe I can actually. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
