Anyone see what the CommicConnect Planet Comics #14 closed at last night? I got tied up and could not watch the auction.

$2,950

 

:o

Yeah, it's a hot one these days! If CGC can fix its new slab problems I'll be slabbing and auctioning my copy for sure.

Wow, glad I was able to grab the one recently sold at HA. It must have been a long period of extended bidding I am thinking.

 

Cheers and thanks!

Actually no. The bidding exploded after I put in my slightly more modest bid - and it got to the closing amount before any extended bidding.

 

I get the impression that this book may be one of those things that I regret not picking up years ago.

Interesting outcome on that book. I know of at least a half dozen folks here on the boards who are chasing this run with some regularity/focus. I am sure there will be more who are not forum members. I love this run and it will be interesting to see if the price growth is something that will sustain itself over the upcoming years, or whether it will slow down after collectors start filling their vacancies in their runs. Some of the prices on the lower grade issues seem to have gotten a bit softer over the last year in my opinion.

 

EDIT - at least in the middle and later issues. Earlier examples seem to have risen significantly in value in all grades.

I was rooting for Andy to win the CC auction copy because he only needs a couple to complete the run. Me? These days I'm just a tourist. lol

 

I think #14 will probably hold it's value, because there are more collectors than copies at any given time.

 

I also have a sneaky, contrary thought that maybe neither book is quite as scarce as its legend says.

 

Or put it another way - how scarce are #14 and #15 relative to #2, #5, #6, #10, #13, #17, #18?

 

This is always subjective, but I've seen more #15's than #13's - and I've now owned, and sold, four or five low grade #14's.

13 is tough...... and one of my favorite of all the Planets. I've only owned one in my life and sold it to an esteemed Boardie....... I do miss it sometimes, but I know it has a good home, which IS important to me....... GOD BLESS....

I was bidding on the Planet 14 but let it go once it hit 1500 as I already have a copy. While I do want to upgrade it I also seem less willing to pay 3000 to do so. My copy is probably a 3.0. 3000 is far to much to pay for a 1 point upgrade.

 

I think 14 is harder to find than both 13 and 15.

I find those three books #13, #14 and #15 seem to come in small waves. One will come to market, followed by one or two within 6 months to a year then a pause for however long. I have not seen a #13 in a while, I think there was one about a year ago, but cant recall. Fortunately for me, I acquired a very decent mid grade #13 a number of years ago.

Couldn't help myself with this recent purchase on CLink. It's my first Lost Valley book, and I love the rich, red background on the cover :cloud9:

That's one of the more gruesome FH covers I have seen!
