Popular Post Brandon Shepherd Posted October 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2021 Won this tonight on Mycomicshop.com. I’m really happy to get this one, it’s the lone 9.8 in the census currently. It’s also from an era of Superman books that people aren’t submitting to CGC much - too much of a niche and not enough profit to do so.

I didn’t take it that way, it is not a book I would buy honestly, I put in a $1 bid just to see what they do with the auction. Guess the joke didn’t go over as I expected it to.

My guess is, he wasn’t taking a shot at that person’s collecting tastes. Rather, the Time Left clock on the screen shot shows 28569 days and some odd hours/minutes…which is a little over 78 years. So the joke, I’m assuming, is that if Clink actually let that clock time stand, you would have to be 12 or younger just to see the end of the auction. Sorry, explaining the joke actually sucks so much fun out of it I wonder if it would have been better to just let the misunderstanding stand.

pickycollector Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It seems like the market is cooling down a bit these days. A copy of DD #1 CGC 8.5 sold for $17,939 tonight although the last GPA sale for a 8.5 was $26,400 Many other books sold for less than GPA as well.

I wish it were that simple but based on what I'm seeing, it's not. At least for the books I'm bidding on, there are no bargains to be found and some results (like Avengers #93 9.6 selling for over $5,000 on Heritage this past weekend) blew the doors off GPA. It would take a much larger sample to prove or disprove, but my hunch/hypothesis continues to be that we're seeing an increased separation between higher-grade and lower-grade books, with ever-widening price ratios between 9.8/9.6, 9.6/9.4, 9.4/9.0, and so on. I picked the wrong time to upgrade all my 20-cent covers from 9.4 to 9.6, that's for sure. In this specific case, DD #1 has always been the least valuable among Marvel's early #1s, but it experienced an insane spike in the last year, led by a truly stunning 9.6 sale, that lifted all boats and had people saying the book was finally getting its due. But these things sometimes go in cycles and I think a correction was inevitable. Of course that's not to say it won't go back to climbing again.

jeffreyk Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It depends on the book. Avengers 4 in 9.0 went for around 14,600 (I don't remember the exact price) which I think is a record. But I have noticed some books dipping a bit. It could also be the time of year as we get closer to the holidays. Early silver age still seems to be solid..

I'm seeing only the books that started early in the price run, starting to soften up now. There's always going to be a certain amount of cyclic movement to the price growth on a book. Books late to the party are still climbing, and there's many sub-markets doing their own thing too. Sweet Lou 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
