Can we talk about that a minute? our collective shock and awe has so far been confined to a thread with “Heritage” in the title, so I think it appropriate we take the matter up here. I think everyone on this thread already values Bat 1 highly, but still. $220k for a 2.0? is this a bubble? Is this sustainable? What is the future for Bat 1? It is one of those super few books that have transcended the hobby. The cover is iconic, its everywhere. and in terms of content bat 1 is second to none! lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relatively speaking, imagine how many times you could put together a small stack (or even less than a handful) of other books from this auction which equaled the 220K the Batman 1 got, without including a single book that anybody outside the hobby would even recognize as a comic book, let alone recognize the actual book itself, or any of the characters within it. So is a Batman 1 "just good" condition worth as much as (insert names and grades of a couple esoteric books that together brought the same money)?

lou_fine Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Any guesses as to where this CGC 8.0 graded Larson copy of Bat 1 will finished up at by the time it's all said and done tomorrow night: https://goldinauctions.com/1940_D_C__Comics__Batman___1___1st_Appearance_of_T-LOT89561.aspx Already sitting at a hammer bid of $1.01M or at a total of $1,212,000 with the 20% BP juice added in there.

lou_fine Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) So, looks like this is already a record for a CGC 8.0 graded Larson copy of Bat 1at $1,212,000 with still a day to go, as the non-pedigree copy hammered in a CC Event Auction back in April of this year at $1,050,000 for a final price of $1,207,500 with the 15% BP juice added in. Looks like the prices on Batman 1 have gone up sharply over the past few years as this same Larson copy of Bat 1 was sold back in December of 2016 at a CC Event Auction for only $365,854. While another CGC 8.0 non-pedigree copy of Bat 1 that had sold for only $175,365 back in April of 2012 at CC came back into the marketplace through CC once again in September of 2019 at a very profitable $498K price point.

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well, at least this makes more sense to me than the rocketing prices of, say, a Star Wars variant issue. PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I just saw there was a slight plod bat 1 at CC that recently went for almost 200K. Thats pretty aggressive 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neck to neck with the Kirbys Darkseid bad arrsh imho. Marvel has the best heroes. (Ok Batman though besting them all). DC has the best villains. I wonder when we get the inevitable merge?

Actually, close to $1.5M with the BP juice in there, but not quite as per a post of mines from yesterday in another thread here: On 9/18/2021 at 7:41 PM, Aman619 said: Lots are closing…. I for one don’t like this extended bidding format. Batman 1 is at 1.2 plus 20%. Not bad… On 9/18/2021 at 9:03 PM, lou_fine said: Yeah, looks like this is where it finished up at in terms of a $1.2M hammer price for a final price of $1.44M including the 20% BP juice. Although I am sure the Larson pedigree bumped this copy up a bit, but if this is indeed the new representative price for a CGC 8.0 graded copy of Bat 1, it leaves me wondering what the lowest grade would be for a copy to cross the 7-figure mark? Would a CGC 7.0 graded copy be able to hit the million mark, or would it have to be at least a CGC 7.5 grade in order to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
