The Comiclink 1.8 was a very nice copy and looked much higher than assigned grade. I think perhaps final hammer may have been a bit over-zealous but I doubt there are other 1.8s (or even 2.0s and 2.5s) that look like that.

Can't really remember that book but it must have looked pretty nice.  $30k seems reasonable to me.  I was thinking that the current CC auction copy was real sharp for a 1.8.  Won't be bidding though as I like my Tecs a little older.

If I was a consignor, I would be ecstatic if a book of mines even qualifed for the 6-months payment plan option.  (thumbsu

Of course, I would be even more ecstatic if the winner of the book had deep enough pockets to forego the 6 months and pay off the whole thing right away.  :bigsmile:

true enough

Which book are you referring to be at in terms of a reasonable price?  ???

The CGC 1.8 graded copy that CL auctioned off a few months ago or this latest CGC 3.0 graded copy in the current CC auction?  hm  (shrug)

I just gave the Bat 1 a decent bump, but somebody else has got the book staked out pretty good and is still on top. They, too, must find the QES certification irresistible 

Ok, I just bumped it again. Someone seriously want this book

I just did a quick sort of the lots based upon Lowest Price First and it takes until Page 45 before you reach a lot that's got a bid above the starting hammer price of $1.  That means 1,108 lots of the 2,720 or just over 40% of them still haven't received a single bid yet.  :whatthe:

Well, it's now been just slightly more than a whole week of live bidding for this CC Event Auction.

Looks like the action must be picking up (or not) as we now have only about 20 pages or just under 500 books that still hasn't received a single bid yet.  :whatthe:

Don't think many of these books, especially some of the GA and early SA ones, will be going for only $1.  :taptaptap:

Then again, if we pray hard enough, they just might. :wishluck:   Or not, I would imagine.  :devil:

How do people feel about the extra 3 staples? And how is this blue label?

I'm with you GCG...I'm not a fan of the extra staples.

Me too.. But since it is extra, I just remove em :wink:

I admit I was a bit confused.  :shy: Now that I've actually looked at the 3.0, I'd say the 1.8 has exceptional eye appeal and page quality that make it a more desirable copy to me than the 3.0 (although we know for certain the cover won't detach).  Buy the book not the ...  That said I won't be at all surprised if the 3.0 finishes in the mid 30's.

Whomever added them did so to "correct/conceal" something (detached wraps or other)

Or it's quite possible that it's something kids do when they think a book is falling apart?  (shrug)

Similar to regular scoth tape which CGC downgrades for, but does not give the PLOD to since they simply treat it as a clearly visible and obvious defect, as opposed to being done with the intent to restore and conceal the work being done.  hm

Maybe CGC looks at the age of the staples then?  That’s a slippery slope, but you must be right. It’s the only possible explanation

Bats1 8.0 starts leaving everyone behind...

Currently at $384,001 

Looks like more evidence of Bat 1 being a legit $50k per point book.  And since its still got extended bidding, I’m gonna estimate it’ll be north of $450k before its all said and done.

Could be the new Joker movie that’s coming out . . .

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it cross $500k

Interested to see where this lands... by all the usual comic book value multipliers, highest graded, Church copy, double cover, 9.9, only GA 9.9... this should be a super expensive book, but as of right now it doesn’t even look like it’s headed towards CCs subliminally suggested 25k+...

Its such a cool cover too.  This is one where I have no clue but somehow wouldn’t be shocked if it went for 8k, or over 30k.

I mean, when you have a double cover CGC 9.9 Church Mile High copy...do you really need QES certification?
