Presents well and the book is scorching hot It's been about 3 years since Superman #1 got to the point where any unrestored copy would sell for over $100,000 so this isn't a completely out of left field result. The book is rapidly getting away from people so it doesn't surprise me to see heavy competition in lower grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I thought it would have went higher too. I was prepared to pay far more than I actually did. I'm glad my doppelganger wasn't participating in the auction.

Microbia Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I thought the two blue Batman 1 issues would’ve done better but maybe it’s because of their defects/ page quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Kinda what I expected. Church copy set a record because, well, Church and there was only one other 9.6. A third 9.6 copy arrives on the market and still goes for quite a nice chunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_react Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Comparing anything to a Church copy is unfair. It's a "deal" in that it's cheaper than the Church copy, but the dynamics of bidding on a Church book are still different even in the CGC era. There are three 9.6s, but only one is the Church copy, so it will run on a parallel track to the rest of the hobby. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telerites Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 DEAL. Edgar's copy isn't a doubler for me. The MH I doubt would sell for that multiplier now but still would garner more than the one that just sold. But forget that - my god, those are pretty books.

october Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Maybe the scans are set differently, I haven't looked that closely, but the colors on the non-Church look significantly better. $100k for the Church seemed (and still seems) like a lot to spend on that book.

It's a "cover" book, but I can't understand the prices when it's never been that hard to find in high grade. This is not Suspense 3 or Fantastic 3.

jimbo_7071 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Fantastic 3 only fetches the prices it does because a dealer who shall not be named is hoarding copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
