High Grade Marvel and the Census

All I can say about that JIM 109 sale is "Holy greenbacks, Batman!" Not only could that book be purchased from Brent's site for the past 5 months, but it probably could have been gotten for an offer 20-25% below the E-Bay BIN price. I don't think a 112 with its far more desirable cover and classic battle match-up has ever commanded such a price. Finally, while the book is a nice looking Circle 8 copy of a tough book, and has that lovable "9.4" on the top of the slab, but it does not have the nice cover registration one would expect to command a premium price.

 

Congrats to Brent for the terrific auction!

JIM = #109

Someone clearly agrees that this is a scarce book in 9.4, because they just hit the $5600 BIN on Qualitycomix`s 9.4 copy on eBay. Brent must be doing his happy dance right about now. I`m not familiar with the buyer, hth-1977.

 

It will be interesting to see what kinds of prices he gets for the rest of the JIM run he`s got up on eBay right now.

 

Geez - Loweez, that is really something. i wouldn't have thought that the book would sell at that level..........

 

was there more than one Circle 8 #109?? i ask because GPA has a circle 8 in 9.2 selling a couple years ago, i believe.

The book looks more like a 9.2 than a 9.4 so it could have been a resub

[tth2]

Lot of "Did Not Meet Reserves" on the rest of the auctions, maybe only 2 others sold at auction. Have JIM prices finally stabilized, or were Brent's prices simply that over the top? I don't know how the highest bids for the DNMRs matched up to recently recorded prices.

 

The $5600 still makes me shake my head.

$5600 is crazy high for that book @ this time

 

its only a magneto crossover and imo its a bit of a soft 9.4, ive got a feeling it was a resubbd 9.2

i just checked heirtage, a jim 109 9.2 o/w sold jul 18 2003 for $919

so if brent resubbd it he did very well!!
