THE AMAZING FANTASY #15 CLUB 39 39

[blazingbob]

Does anybody want to sell me a AF #15 6.5 with offwhite or better pages no chipping for $55K?

When an auction is within the upper percentile of it's full market value (in this case the book is north of 80% of it's market value) AND there is abnormal activity, then there is a very likely chance of shill bidding.

A book peaking in the open days of the auction is always suspect to me.

"Pro" shill bidders typically operate more discretely.  If the bidder and seller were friends obviously the bid behavior does draw some undesired attention, so if they were working in concert this isn't how the plan is supposed to go.  Though I suppose they could be "amateurs"

In tonight's CC auction:

6.0 (heavily chipped and book looks otherwise over graded)- $42,850

7.0- $107,000

(very large spread for just two grade points in these mid-grade ranges.)

Do you know the hammer price on the other copies?  There was a nice 4.5 and 2.5

Unfortunately I forgot to bookmark those.   

Maybe someone else tracked them?

It’s priced amazing for 6.5 they obviously don’t want to run up bids but I guarantee there are sharks watching this ready to bid last second. Won’t be revealed until the end.

I was very surprised as well!  I thought it would end at around $35k..  Looks like a price correction is happening.

That's a great copy of this book. Love the old label goodness. However, I don't understand the point of making this video. The record sale would have been noticed without this video. It's just pure bragging and could be counter productive. Nobody likes to listen to somebody brag. It's obvious Vinnie loves the spotlight.

damn that 4.5 was the perfect copy for me to pick up.  It is a nice copy.

what about the OA on their wall?

 

they got some crazy OA- I believe they also have the cover to HOS 92

I find with AF15s low grades meaning 1-2.5 range are seeing great boosts and middle of the pack seems like prices have leveled 3-6.5 range . Just what I notice in auctions I’ve watched . Just when I thought Spidey was out of the spotlight ASM 1s are surging in price . Love this web head !!!

No, it's not.  The all time GPA high for this grade is $29,870, which was realized in November, 2017.

Even factoring in that high sale, the price realized on this copy is but $800 below 12 month averages.

as has been discussed here at length, GPA does not include results from comiclink, private sales and quite a few other sources. and as has also been discussed ad nauseum, bob storms sold glassmans 5.0 last year for 50k. so yes, this is quite a drop.  it's a mistake to think that GPA is comprehensive. it's a nice resource, but hardly complete.

4.0 12/2017 sale on GPA for $32,500 with high of $35,000 last year.
