So, fast forward to today's market, maybe it has something to do with the CVA label, and maybe the market has once again paid a premium for the Mile High II copy. At June 2014 MHII 9.8 sells for $18,750 At June 2014 last few month's 9.8s averaged around $9,830 - so around a 1.9 multiplier ----- At Jan 2019 MHII 9.8 price sells for $59,000 At Jan 2019 last few month's 9.8s averaged around $33,870 - so around a 1.7+ multiplier. So, these figures of yours does confirm what some of the other board members are saying here. Specifically, that the overall market appears to be softening a bit and Hulk 181, the MHII in particular, is starting to trend downwards. Or NOT!!!

Popular Post Top City Comics Posted January 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) 0 for 15 tonight... All 3 X-Men 1's I bid on (3.0/4.0/4.5) went for damn close to gpa if not higher (the 4.0 & 4.5 went over if memory serves) Grand total for the first barrage of books was 9 wins out of 75 attempts (pushed at least half of those up to gpa pricing), so I had a 12% win rate on total auctions....and probably closer to double that (25%-ish) on books I pushed up to within 5-10% of gpa valuations. Picked this looker up last night (Weds) too...dannnng nice for a 4.5 if you ask me!

Black_Adam Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm batting .154 so far, with only 2 wins out of 13 bids (and outbid on 11 other upcoming auctions). Seems like pretty healthy results so far, especially on anything even resembling a key! No wins to speak of last night, but here is one of my misses. congrats to the winner (if they're lurking here). lizards2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgross.com Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 i did not pick this up after hoping to try, thanks to the super high price it ended at - $6,500. worth it since it's the best looking 4.5 i've ever seen. now every dealer will be pricing their yellowed, chipped 4.5 xmen 1s at $6900. this book has seen huge price variations depending on how cruddy or nice the book presents. another 4.5 sold on CL just a couple months back for 5k, largely because it had a missing corner.

Isn’t the 22k 7.0 that sold last night a record for X-men 1 on the other hand the 7.0 ff1 Stan Lee sig at 33k and 7.0 AF 15 at 85k were great deals based on other recent sales of those books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmakt Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I picked up the Thor 165 8.5 from CLink... Maybe overpaid a little after taxes, shipping, and fees, but it was still one of the best deals I saw at the time.

Dark Knight Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Yes the X-Men 1 cgc 7.0 that sold set a record price. I was very surprised since it was a poor looking 7.0 with tanning everywhere. Also mad I sold my 8.0 too cheap last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all quite conceivable that this price reflects the MHII label as much as a CVA label. Both arguments could be made. Either way, $59,000 for a Bronze Age Comic... What about the mile high II 9.4 that sold for right around market rate in 2006 (maybe while it was still considered a real pedigree)? There are plenty of data points for CVAs on C-link going for way above average GPA sometimes double! Paying multiples for CVAs is one thing but paying 20k over GPA high for a fake pedigree? "Both arguments could be made"?...Seriously??? If it's nuts to pay a multiple for CVA than it's (crack snorting padded room) level wackery to do same for a fake pedigree! Nevermind the "interesting" way it got that designation from CGC to begin with Edited January 25, 2019 by MGsimba77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
