A very impressive book, but $9,900 is way too much. The seller might be thinking the same thing to as the original listing a few days ago was for $12,500 and since then the price has steadily gone downward in increments. IMHO I think the FMV on this book is more in the range of $5,000-6,000

Come on, what are you guys saying here!

 

This is an 50 year old book that's still in 9.8 condition. This is not a common 5 week old or 5 months old book which investors are snapping up at 50X guide like there's no tomorrow.

 

Let's see how the CGC investor's equation works:

 

CGC 9.2 = $ 1,350 OS guide

CGC 9.4 = $ 2,700

CGC 9.6 = $ 5,400

CGC 9.8 = $10,800

 

Will you look at that! This book is going for lower than the prevailing market rate for a CGC 9.8.

 

Oh, I forgot that GA books belongs in the domain of collectors, and not CGC investors or flippers. The $10K range belongs to the home of high grade late SA or BA keys. foreheadslap.gif

Very impressive book but how much demand do WW books have? $9,000 would give you a lot of options for other GA books that I would rather have first. Does anyone here collect WW? confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Not a lot of demand. Even the pedigree copies don't command the type of multiples that other superheros books will achieve. Frankly I have the cover art kinda dopey and often cartoonish. But it is still nice to own high grade copies of 60+ year old books.

 

I have the following copies if anyone is interested in scans:

 

Wonder Woman 20 CGC 9.4

 

Sensation 7 CGC 8.5 (Crowley pedigree)

Sensation 40 CGC 9.4 ("D" pedigree)

Sensation 41 CGC 8.5 (Diamond pedigree)

Sensation 45 CGC 9.6 (Reilly pedigree, yes, a real one!)

Sensation 56 CGC 9.2 (Diamond pedigree)

What is the basis and formula for this equation?

 

One bump in grade simply equals a doubling in price. I believe X-Men #1 exhibited this behavior over the summer, with one bump grades raising the price from $50k to $100k.

 

In the end, though, Lou was being tongue in cheek. laugh.gif

Yes, the inverted logic of the marketplace dictates that the more common a book is in high grade the higher the multiples for top graded copies. Kind of reminds me of the late 90s stock market- the higher the P/E ratio the hotter the stock. I'm sure this won't turn out the same way - the value of high grade comics only goes up - right? RIGHT?.

"Very impressive book but how much demand do WW books have?"

 

Despite what mr. esquire may think, whilst there may not be tons of demand at 400-800% of guide, old wonderwomans sell great usually up to and a bit above guide and there are a lot of people collecting them. granted, the people chasing them the hardest probably don't care that much about slabs or getting a mint copy. or a HG copy at all.

 

I've tried to get trustworthy VG and Fine raw and slabbed copies of 40s/50s WWs and have bid 50-75% of guide and usually wind up wayyyyy short in the bidding. Usually going for guide. Slabbed copies more.

I am always interested in posts of Wonder Woman!

while we're at it, just how many pre-1945 DCs even exist in 9.8?

 

"Valientman....paging Mr. Valientman..."

 

Perhaps it would help get his attention if you spelled his name correctly? makepoint.gif

6 or 7k sound about right to me. Not that I'm buying. wink.gif
