ecgt Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I am sort of feeling the same way, but I've spent all the money I had earmarked on a couple of vintage toy collections that have come my way this week (including a few toy grails that fell into my lap). I fully expected the Nelvana to hit 10k when the auction started. It's not even half that right now. Still a couple of days left, so there might be a few shockers. Even so, most of what sold last night went for around or less than I expected. Right now, the Commando Comics # 4 is the only one that I find really surprising, but at 9.2 maybe not. If the Freelance issues sell for around the current list price I will probably spend the rest of the week complaining about it! Regardless, it's going to be interesting to compare these results to the two 2014 CLINK auctions once everything is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 All of the commandos were pretty strong, I thought. Good grades as you said though. The Nelvana I was guessing around 7500 when the auction started, be interesting to see where it ends. I don't like it hitting 10k as there might be a bit of fatigue with two copies (three sales, one was resold) hitting CLINK the last few years, after so many years of no public sales. I think its kind of found its niche around 10k, so I see why you mention that number, but my guess is this sale will be slightly soft coming after those previous sales. However, I certainly wouldn't be shocked if it did better than I predict. Its a great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thoughts on triumph 7? To me its one of the true classics, bidding somehwat light so far although grade is low, and tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) The Triumph 7 to me is a bit of a wildcard, as I could not find any previous sales data for a complete one (let me know if you have seen one sell other than the 0.5 CLINK had). I see it as a wildcard because I consider it one of the iconic WECA covers and everyone seems horny over Nelvana. Yet, at 2.0 it could have a soft ending. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends around $2500. For me it will be interesting to see if the Triumph 12 or 21 end higher than the 7 due to their grades. Fair points on your prediction for the Nelvana one-shot. We'll know for sure tomorrow night. Edited September 7, 2016 by ecgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking 3500 more realistic but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
