Popular Post jhm Posted May 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2018 Amazing auction. So many great additions for me today. Super thankful to the folks that let 'em go. My big-red-button hitting finger is exhausted! BUT... I spent more than I wanted to. I think this means it's time to start parting with some of the GA books I don't mind taking out of the collection. I'll be hitting the up the sales board probably some time next week for the first time. My favorite take today...

I don't understand the soft prices this book gets. I think it's a wonderful cover, and the Mars splash is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Was sad to see highest graded Wings 94 go so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkkentdds Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I thought prices were soft all around... Especially compared to the shocking prices Pedigree got for those Batman/ Detectives in last months auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Those Mile High Police Comics were fantastic and I thought pretty reasonable all things considered. I didn't take the plunge though. Maybe I'll do better at the little kid's dinner table with the second part of this auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmehdy Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 $8,368,982.00 in a single day....with two days to go this auction should break $10,000,000 .00 we have come a long way, here in comic book fandom comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the under bidder on this. I already have a 5.0 and was looking to upgrade, but once it hit $1500 i had to let it go as that is starting to get up there for a book I already own a decent copy of so I guess it is all a matter of perspective.

This only includes the sales of back-issues (collecting); not including grading/pressing/restoration services, preservation supplies, sales of new content in a digital or analog format and, of course, the movies. Figure comics are purchased for two basic reasons: 1. Placed in private collections (full sales amount would directly go to the bottom line). Example: I buy a book for for $3,500 and place it in my private collection for an extended period. That would equate to a $3,500 annual realized revenue. 2. Purchased as dealer/speculator/flipper stock to be resold later for a profit (cost would go to bottom line). Dealer bought a book for $3,000 and sold it later to me for $3,500. Realized revenue to the hobby until sold would be $3,000. Is this a $10 million annual revenue hobby? $25 million? $50 million? More? Just seems like some crazy money when you think about how many auctions, eBay/online sites, LCS, convention & private sales happen annually. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
