Wonder Comics # 1

Sad to see some high rollers losing $$ on 'investment' quality GA keys. I like to read my funny books:

 

 

 

Nice PQ on that reader.

The CGC 9.4 in the upcoming Heritage auction is gorgeous.

 

 

Looks like the owner is trying to cash out on the book after picking it up for almost $70K back in 2014.

 

Although Fox books have definitely been on fire recently, not sure how much of a win (if any at all), this will be for the consignor once the HA fees are factored in.

 

If I owned the book, considering action 1 in 9.4 would about 4 mil, I would not sell it for less than 500K period. This is a museum piece...a true part of comic book history...it should sell for 250K this auction....But it could go for a bargain price much lower..clearly one of the best books coming to the market this year..with a great upside. Cong to the new owner...hopefully a member, rather than George Lucus...

 

Mitch;

 

When I saw your numbers, I had to go back to see what book we were actually talking about.

 

There is absolutely no way in the world that this book will see even close to $250K, let along the $500K figure that you would sell it for. After all, the Wonder 1 is really nothing more than a niche collector's book, and although historically important, there is really nothing mainstream, or any cross media exposure with this non-classic cover book which appears to be the driving forces behind the current hot marketplace.

 

Looks like you could easily pick up this book for a bargain price according to your point of view, if you really wanted to.

 

$46,000 ($54,970.00 with BP)

 

Yikes !

 

A loss

 

 

Hey Mitch;

 

Congrats on picking up a historical museum piece at such a bargain basement price and for only around one-tenth of what you will eventually sell it for.

 

Although it is definitely a loss for the consignor on this particular go round, it looks like it's going to be a humongous win for Mitch when he gets around to selling it.

 

 

Price has just gone UP....an excellent pick up which belongs in a museum someday...
