Yeah I agree with the spine splits on the Bat 1, shouldn't have made it in a 5.5 label.  Thinking 4.5 tops.  I had a Tec 35 with a small spine split at top and around a 2" from bottom staple down and it graded a 4.0. Other than that, the book is a beauty. I believe lhcomics owns that same Tec I owned.

I still have it and wish my Bat 1 4.0 looked this nice.

2 copies of cap 1 in 5.5 sold in the 150s last year too. Seems pretty consistent 

its not entry level and not High grade. 

Ended right about where it should have. I don’t believe Other books had any bearing on realized price

There have been other, more recent sales, both public and private that have exceeded $32k a point since May this year on lower/higher mid-grade copies.  

This was a low result for this copy.

Agree to disagree on the reasons or causes.  (thumbsu

Can’t say one way or another for sure. I thought from what I heard it wasn’t as hi but I don’t recall for sure.  Regardless , a Lone known 9.4 highest single graded trumps a tied for second graded Cap 1 

This is exactly why this should not be a complete surprise that this particular SF Cap 1 finished slightly lower than the current highest graded copy of AS 8.

From my point of view though, taking all known copies of the 2 books into account, it still means that Cap 1 > As 8.  (thumbsu

Especially now that the heightened frenzy over Wonder Woman appears to have abated for now.  hm

Sure. It’s all just opinions ...who really knows. 

Mid grade mega keys don’t typically  follow lower grade PPP 

given there have now been 3 public sales and 2 private mid grade sales for cap 1 in the last 9 or so months , all at about 27,500 a point, I’d say that’s enough empirical data to establish a good baseline and support the realized price on this copy

Considering the Cap1 9.4 auction result, there's NO WAY the AA16 9.4 is a 1Mil book.

Last time John offered it was priced at 2 mil

but years ago he did have a 1.1 mil offer

diff between cultivating private sales/customers and auctioning. Results aren’t always consistent. Also consider the uniqueness of the books and I’d hazard a guess the aa16 is a 7 fig book to someone
