nearmint Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 But if you look at 8.0 or better, unrestored, there are 9 copies of All-Star 8, and 10 copies of Sensation 1. To a high grade collector, that might be more important than the the total census numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote that for the purpose of determining the winner, all those non committal people predicting a range get the mean value of their high and low end....that puts Bedrock at $5.2 million etc...

Gotham Kid Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) AS8 @ 555K Bidder i***s sure has some interesting bids in. $333,333.33 and $555,555.55. Who bids like that ? I could be wrong but Pristine just might take a hard hit on the WW1. We'll see in 41hrs Edited August 26, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Are these comics that Pristine has on consignment, or one that they had purchased? Do we know the history of these books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipping a book off of eBay that closed $200 under GPA because it ended at 3:00AM on a Wednesday? Yes. Flipping a high profile, nearly $300,000 book after 8 months? That wouldn't be my strategy.

david99 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 WW # 1 is probably a loss leader and a tax write off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know the history of these books? The WW 1 sold at auction for about $300K less than nine months ago. He must have bought it. The other two books are from a newly discovered OO collection. My guess is he bought those too. He had several million in profit from the Action 1 to play with I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he betting that the excitement of owning the trifecta of WW books, in highest possible grade, will lead to a bidding frenzy. If so, he's probably right about that. Even if he takes a small loss on the WW1, he probably thinks that's a reasonable marketing expense to max out the price on the other two books.

sfcityduck Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) One day to go! Spread now $555K/$252K/$137K. We have a new bidder entering the fray late last night, 10:42 p.m. (Pacific)/7:42 p.m. (Hawaii)/1:42 p.m. (Hong Kong)/8:42 a.m. (Qatar), 6:42 a.m. (London), who took the lead: u***d. The prior bid leader i***s had placed his/her $555,555.55 bid back on 8/18. It took u***d two bids to top out i***s, so u***d probably has not bid his final amount. Will i***s bid again? Or are we nearing the end? We'll see soon enough.

N e r V Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Seller sold damaged item & refused to compensate all costs to make things right. Buyer: b***a ( 574) During past year Based on some of their feedback hopefullly this doesn't occur with any of the WW books.

sfcityduck Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 To put the $555K AS 8 price in perspective, if the auction closes at this price, this will be the highest sales price for any DC comic that is not an Action 1, D27 or Batman 1 (tops out the $505K Superman 1 5.5, but not the $567K Batman 1 9.2).

Bronty Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) That's reasonable though. High census big key. How many times have we seen prices for books like that go mental? (Maybe in the GA world not that many times because they don't come to market!). To throw a different spin on it though, it currently only double what suspense 3 or fantastic 3 in similar grades went for, and those books have absolutely nothing going for them other than popular covers. (Also-ran titles from also-ran publishers!). Edited August 26, 2017 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 What kind of cut or deal does someone work with eBay when things are in this price range? I thought their percentage cut ended at a certain price level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
