Superman/Batman #7 Variant CGC 9.6 SS Dell'Otto & Jerry Robinson created Joker

 

Sold for $1,675.

 

Less than my $2k estimate. :whistle: Oh well.

 

There's a 9.8 SS listed on Ebay now.

 

Evidently the image was used for the reprint compilations in multiple different countries, not just France.

 

Those other languages are starting to come to market now as well. I think I'm glad I held off from buying at those inflated prices.

I've seen those. They are different books; even the coloring is a bit off. To my knowledge, only the French variants have the virgin cover and 50/50 effect (not sure what the production term for that is). Perhaps that's why they are in demand, and the other issues not so much? Even so, they are climbing in price as well.

 

But, to each his own. Ultimately, the market will decide value, as it has been doing.

 

Oh, and the 9.9 SS sold. ;)

I don't think people were aware that the image was used in other countries until the other renditions started showing up.

 

At least I didn't....

 

8 of the 31 currently slabbed copies are 9.9's. Did that SS copy sell off eBay privately too ?

I found the German versions years ago, so I'm guessing others have as well when doing a search for the artwork. One is a hardcover book, if I recall correctly. Non are virgin variants. They didn't interest me since the French variant looks so much nicer, imho.

 

Yes. This now makes three 9.9's (that I know of) that have changed hands within a few short weeks, with each successive sale being more expensive than the last.

That is my 9.8 SS - will sell here on the boards at a better price :gossip:

 

Apparently, recent 9.8 sales have been over $2K, so your price seems about right. (I actually turned down two $1000 offers for my raw copy.)

Considering the type of book it is, and that the only one, public high dollar sale of the book is that Bob Kane signed copy from last week, and how fickle the variant market can be (especially with multiple copies of multiple versions of the book hitting the market at once), there's no way in hell I would be turning down those offers (if I was a seller).

It wasn't signed by Bob Kane.

 

Nonetheless, if we were having this conversation a few weeks ago when the book was selling for around $500, I suspect that you'd be saying the same thing.

 

I turned down the offers because there's far more demand than supply for this book. Keeping in mind that prices continue to increase with private sales, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Yes I meant Jerry Robinson.

 

And there have been enough public sales to get a good handle on the FMV of the book. No offense, but I take reports of all these blockbuster private sales from people with multiple copies to sell with a grain of salt, especially when there is such a large disparity between those and the public sales that everyone can see.
