I was thinking it would sell for closer to $5K. No recent sales on GPA, though, so maybe it was an unusual opportunity to score a high-grade copy and a couple of people extended themselves for it. Given that FC 178 is one of the coolest books ever, I don't think this was an unreasonable price at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been quite a few record setters in the last couple months but $8k for FC 178 doesn't look like one to me. It's one of the few reasonable prices.

I know of some very strong high grade Duck sales that are not on GPA. The market for high grade Barks Ducks seems to be trending stronger now.

It's one of the few reasonable prices. It's impressive that this price was achieved on CC. I was talking to the consignor and asking why he went with CC when Heritage has historically been the go-to place for Duck collectors. But I think he's done fine with CC.

Certainly Ducks on HA have been doing very well. Translation: I haven't been winning many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you too Steve. Post your book if you'd like; some of those early Barks' stories didn't get reprinted in the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
