Anybody knows what the fees are ? I know for sure that Reece Comics and ComicLink have a seller fee of 10% of the final sale price. I tried to look up Heritage's seller fee and the best I could figure out was that it's equal to the square root of the sin wave of 3.6^x divided by the final sale price multiplied by the progressive sales tax of Montana from 1976-1985. In all seriousness, I have no idea what they charge, their website layout makes me think they would prefer the general public not know. Ultimately, you'll have no trouble selling that AF 15 no matter what platform you use. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicConnoisseur Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Someone should start a price history for Incredible Hulk #181 because that looks like it will be talked about in 5 years like AF#15 is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with ComicLink and it is a major one at that, is that you will not be able to access any of their auction results once the auction is over.

The only problem with this strategy is that you could end up bidding too late with your tracking bid and end up winning a book which you had no real intention of buying in the first place.

Big Brother Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I bought early issues of Amazing Spider-Man because I love Steve Ditko's artwork, and I like Stan Lee's storylines. I didn't buy them as an investment. I don't mind that they're worth a lot of money now, but that's not why I got them. I think that Spidey #31-33 are some of the best super-hero comics of all time.

Big Brother Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Well, here's something new: an updated list of the valuation of Amazing Fantasy #15. I'd like to point out that the ONLY reason that someone would pay more than a half-million dollars for a comic book is if he thinks he can sell it for more later. And based on the list below, he wouldn't be wrong. All I can say about that is: tulips in Amsterdam. Prices via Overstreet 9.2 Amazing Fantasy #15 1970: $16 1971: $18 1972-1977: no data (I have Overstreets for those years, but I'm too lazy to look up the prices) 1978: $40 1979: $80 1980: $160 1981: $225 1982: $360 1983: $450 1984: $900 1985: $1,000 1986: $1,000 1987: $1,200 1988: $1,100 1989: $1,100 1990: $1,100 1991: $1,200 1992: $1,500 1993: $1,800 1994: $2,800 1995: $6,100 1996: $7,000 1997: $7,000 1998: $20,000 1999: $22,000 2000: $26,000 2001: $27,000 2002: $27,000 2003: $27,000 2004: $25,000 2005: $35,000 2006: $42,000 2007: $48,000 2008: $42,500 2009: $42,500 2010: $33,500 2011: $44,000 2012: $50,000 2013: $65,000 2014: $100,000 2015: $125,000 2016: $260,000 2017: $350,000 2018: $375,000 2019: $405,000 2020: $425,000 2021: $450,000 2022: $550,000 ADAMANTIUM and KCOComics 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) P.S. I should acknowledge that my list was based on the one originally posted by Webhead. Edited January 4, 2023 by Big Brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The price of Amazing Fantasy #15 doubled from 1978 to 1979, and from 1979 to 1980. It doubled again from 1983 to 1984, and once more from 1994 to 1995. Then from 1997 to 1998, it nearly triples in value. It doubles again from 2015 to 2016. in most other years, it's a steady rise with occasional pauses or rare setbacks. Does anybody have any explanations for the rapid price rises in the years noted here? Of course, Spidey is a popular character but why would AF15 go from $7,000 in 1997 to $20,000 in 1998, for example? Especially after remaining at $7,000 for two years.

Aman619 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 because comics were in frefall in late 90s/ and because Overstreet is an imperfect pricing tool. He falls behind the market. then catches up, often too high, The big jumps are catchy years after years of copies selling for 2-4x Guide. Basically dont follow the Overstreet prices over 50 years for any TEAL market data. All the info you will get is what the Guide price was set at over time. october 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 This makes me sick as I was buying most of my Silver Age books from 1972-1977 and never even saw an AF 15. I could have picked up a few, even at those prices, but I probably wouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) yeah. it was A:WAYS expensive! what it was 5K you could build runs of HG regular non keys for $20-30 each. 5K was just as out of reach then as 100K is now. (speaking generally of course.) Edited January 4, 2023 by Aman619 KCOComics and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Overstreet usually lags behind the market but if comics were in free-fall in the late 1990s, why did AF15 go from $2,800 in 1994 to $22,000 in 1999? How do you explain that?

Aman619 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) In the Guide you mean? With all due respect, the best answer is ask Bob. Why so much over a few years. A longer answers is to look at the top 10 silver age guide priced books in that period. Did they all go up ? Is this when AF 15 broke ahead of FF 1? And what were HG AF15s selling for? I don’t recall sales off hand, but a few years later the Diamond Run copy (later graded a 9.4) was up for sale for 75K. So 22K still sounds like Bob had more catching up to do. bottom line again, guide prices on keys always speak more to Bobs sense of order, on his ongoing take on the comics values as a whole not as we now can do, actual sales in real time.

You can most definitely say that about this years edition of the guide, especially when it comes to the so-called red hot, but readily available BA and CA keys from last year. What was once selling for multiples to guide in the past few years are definitely not doing so anymore after the spectacular jumps they took in the guide this year. Combined this with the cooling in the prices for these readily available books that shows up with multiple copies in every single auction and you now having them only able to sell for often times only at huge double digit discounts to condition guide price.

BraveDave Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 AF15 in most grades is down about 35-50% over the last twelve months (essentially vs peak). Of course that only resets it to about 2020 levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
