Popular Post Buzzetta Posted July 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 I have not picked anything up for awhile. Restoration was a small amount of glue on the cover and I felt it presented very well for the grade. As was pointed out to me, the colors really do pop.

90sChild Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Here's another one raising my eyebrows at. I feel real foolish now for putting a winning proxy bid in before the auction started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90sChild Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I guess it "worked out" for me after all. I proxy bid $533 on this and only got bid up to $504.. First book I've bought from HA in a year or so. Anyone care to look up GPA averages for me? I see 9.0 selling for $1000 and 9.2 selling for $1500 so I figured 8.5 and $500 was a good price despite the gocollect average at $425.

Buzzetta Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Does Heritage ship art and comics together? I forget... can't remember if they do or if they are like Comiclink and do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why that's difficult to understand More like - hide the supply to keep the demand. Not new, De Beers has been doing this with diamonds for over 100 years.

Popular Post William-James88 Posted July 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2020 Here's a surprisingly still affordable key I just nabbed from the recent comiclink auction. Very cool that these still go below guide now even though this character was a mainstay on the CW shows. https://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fbids.asp&id=1408733 musicmeta, DavidTheDavid, Larryw7 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget... can't remember if they do or if they are like Comiclink and do not. Yes they do. The art is in a folder while the comics are in a smaller box, and both are put in a bigger box. Also, I too noticed some really high prices last night on Heritage. I think enough people have stopped looking on e-bay (I will admit to be one of them) and just stick to their new habits without looking elsewhere. Here's the lot I walked away from, whoever bought this overpaid by a couple hundreds https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/golden-age-superhero-group-of-4-dc-fawcett-1941-43-condition-average-gd-total-4-/a/122028-13259.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116 Buzzetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exact copy got flipped twice last year according to GPA. This one will now stick around in our collection for a while. I adore this wild cover. "Inferno" cover...

As the hobby moves more and more towards 1st appearances being the only thing that matters these are the kind of books that come down a bit. I wanted this to replace my X-Men #9 which is pricier across all grades and nearly double in 8.5; despite the FF being 6 months older and the two books both being popular for the same reasons. (1st crossovers). I think I like the Kirby art on this one a tad more too, the colors pop better off the white background. telerites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have noticed that as well with the second appearance of the Justice League losing its value by half within the past 5 years. It`s really first appearance of GTFO in most cases. Makes sense though, first appearance books are the main books that will get demand from people outside the hobby, and it's not like the supply can ever increase. So everyone wants to make sure they have their copy, and thus there is less money spent on other books instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can go look at the CGC census and feebay and figure out real quick that a book like ASM 300 is plentiful. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what happens ASM#300 is as common in 9.8 as dirt. More copies than collectors. Like I said, de beers has done this for a century. There is nothing rare about diamonds.
