nope, missing cf

Does it have a cover? Even a coverless T27 with a missing CF would be over 100K now, I'm guessing.

What happens to the 2 highest WW books that CC had for sale ?  Dont see them on their site anymore--assume we would have heard if they sold ...

I noticed that too.  They both fell off my watch list (and trust me, I was only watching ).  Maybe due to the cosmic sales results on highest graded Promise books, they've decided to take off the site for a bit and try to reset the bar with higher prices.

No cover.  I had a married BC at one time but I sold it,  I defer to Gotham Kid when it comes to all things Pre -Robin Tec but I wouldn't; be surprised if a complete coverless with nice eye appeal garnered 115k while a nice presenting  coverless missing the CF hit 100k.  I think we are there now.

  I don't think the sales of late will carry over to Diana Prince.  I certainly think they should  with those 2 beauties but I don't think the demand is there

I honestly thought it would break a mil, especially with an 8.0 selling for $150K. @tth2 I totally get that reaction, but with how insane X-Men 1 prices are it seemed justified to me. I mean, it definitely got close. The last 9.6 I can recall sold for $350K in 2016 on C-Link and not sure if it was auction or buy it now. So I mean pretty impressive this went for over double that now I guess, but all grades of X-Men 1's from 2016 to now are selling for what, 3 to 4, maybe 5 times or higher what they were then lol. So it seems plausible a 9.6 would be worth at least 3 times that 2016 sale. Guess not though haha.

Yet the highest graded All Star 8 can't fetch 1.1 M. doesn't make sense to me

Totally agree. There are 201 blue label x-men 1 in 8.0 or better and over 3800 blue label on the census while all star 8 has a total of only 130 blue label books on the census. That books seems criminally undervalued at this point.

Nah. I stated elsewhere that I'd post a pic of myself with my undies on my head if it went for a mil. I figured it would be about a $750K book.

While I'd be the last person to ever defend today's SA and BA prices, it is important to emphasize that there is a Demand axis as well as a Supply axis.

3800/130 = 29.2

I think it's safe to say that there are way more than 29 times more collectors interested in owning a X-Men 1 than collectors interested in owning an All Star 8.

Id say that’s likely true. Not taking anything away from AS8 of course!

Yeah can’t explain that past auction. Someone should have dropped a mil+ solely out of respect for my Themysciran princess 😍.

[woowoo]

True—and it wouldn't surprise me if there are 290 times as many.

A guy on IG told me he was contemplating selling his Batman 1 to buy TMNT 1. What insanity have we arrived at ?

I do not believe the Turtles would stand a chance against The Batman in a trial by combat 

Edited July 31, 2021 by GreatCaesarsGhost

I guess I get the price for the turtle book when I start to look at Pokemon cards and rookie cards on some players who have only been in the league just a few years.  Not to mention Brady who is still playing. Prices being driven by a younger generation than old school collectors.  This is their nostalgia. for the record the TMNT's are fake superheroes
