[tth2]

AT CGC 9.2 Mystery Men #1 already over US$22K (w/BP).

 

CGC 5.5 Action #1 already over US$500K (w/BP).

 

Comic bidders are starting to act like OA bidders by throwing in big bids early.

Discovery baby, pure discovery

 

Actually I think it may be more like how dogs mark their territory.

Anyone want to speculate on the final hammer price of the Eerie 1 8.5? It looks amazingly bright and clean for the grade.

Looks like this will end up being a record price for this book as the Carson City CGC 9.0 graded copy only managed to reached a shade over $19K when it was auctioned off through HA way back in 2008.

 

It's been quite awhile now since we've seen any HG copies of the early Fox books come to market, so the final auction price will indeed be interesting and might give us some clues as to the market value for some of these early Fox books.

Did Heritage stop offering GPA data?

Nope, looks like it is still there since I manage to get the following link for the Mystery Men #1:

The link is in the CGC Value section which is just underneath the CGC Census Report of the auction listing description.

Batman 52 pushing 11K already.

Way beyond my estimate but a tough book in high grade. I am definitely out of the running.

And a good start for the Tec 71. I'm really curious what that book hammers at.

Up until recently, a highest graded copy.

I have told Schmell to re-write the description.

I would say more than double where is in now. Cracking 10k is very likely.

[batman_fan]

and we are off ! 4 must win books in this one for me.

Good luck !

 

Thanks. I am watching them closely to see how prices move relative to what I set as my max budget so I can make sure I know when to increase my max budget

 

How many times I have gone through that scenario?

 

First max bid, highest I would ever go bid increased

Missed out on the Detective 73 tonight. Was hesitant to bid any higher since it wasn't graded. Beautiful book though.

From the other thread on the fantastic 3, it sounds as though some of the board members here feel the Allentown MM 1 will finish up somewhere in the $40K to $50K price range.

 

That would be an amazingly high price for a book that is not from the Big 2, but probably not that much of a real surprise for a prestigious pedigree key #1 issue in today's rather exuberant market.

There are a lot of non-Big 2 books that sell for a lot of money. Most notably your buddy Magik`s Suspense 3.

Yeah, you are most probably right, although Suspense 3 is a rather unique book on its own.

 

This MM 1 should prove quite interesting as it is without a doubt one of the top books and possibly the go to book to get when it comes to the entire run of early Fox books.

There's also Pep, Archie and Whiz, among others. No one really knows how much high grade single digit Whiz's would go for because they literally never come up for sale.

I personally would rank MM 3 over MM 1.
