History has a way of being rewritten more often than not. Ernie provided an incredible service to collectors of the golden age. However, as we have seen, he was wrong probably more than he was right. Ashcans are great (just ask moondog) but a fawcet can is probably worth (due to limited demand) way on the low end of your estimate. Maybe even under. That said, I wish you the best of luck

Didn't Moondog's ashcans perform poorly when he sold them on Heritage/

[rob_react]

So the Census has a 9.0 (#0056461007), also noted in GPA as selling in 2006 for $10k (is that 25% of Action 1's value in 2006?)

 

Maybe a restored copy, but not any unrestored complete copy.

I think many did...unfortunately, ashcans just don't hold high demand with the avg collector of the GA....

That 9.0 auction is weird. The site it says it is for sale on, will not come up. It brings up some Craig's lists ad selling Gold and Jewelry. So, two are coming up at the same time,after not seeing one of these for sale in 6 years?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say a five-figure sale is possible, but not guaranteed. A six-figure sale isn't going to happen. If form holds true, they will end up in Mark Zaid's collection.

[sfcityduck]

Zaid already has several Fawcett Flash Comics 1 (Capt. Marvel cover CGC 9.0 and Golden Arrow CGC 9.0) and DC Flash Comics 1 (CGC 9.4). And I believe for the Fawcett Capt. Marvel collectors that the Thrill 1 is the rarer (only 3 copies) and thus more desirable book (Zaid's is only a 4.5).

FAR less important and less rare comics have sold for more than my [$900,000] asking price.

Knowing you folks… fixed!

[Dark Knight]

I think those super over-priced Ashcans listed on ebay can also rub people the wrong way about them.

Is it too soon for memes?

FAR less important and less rare comics have sold for more than my [$900,000] asking price.

 

Must admit that line did catch my eye as well.

 

Other than Action #1 and Tec #27, I assume no single comic has ever sold at that level?

 

(And that said, does anyone know offhand the highest sale price recorded for a comic not counting those two books?)
