Why? You have some inside info that Bezos and Gates suddenly got into BA book collecting post divorce? That is a bonkers price for a BA book.

The market for key 9.8's is now completely separate from non-keys/non-9.8/reality. I am not shocked by ANY top end key price anymore. I mean, why not? Jordan rookies with a 300-400 pop in PSA 10 have sold dozens of times for $200k-750k. Why not for a unicorn in grade like this?

Please don't take my non-shock as endorsement though. I think this market is completely insane, totally inflated and irrational. Just not shocked anymore.

I remember when Gator was asking I think around $800K for his 5.0. Don’t think it was this copy. Well I hope he held onto it.

It was only a few months ago that Heritage couldn't get $1.3mil for the 6.5 copy they were offering.

I know, I get it. I was more shocked by the $90K for a Surfer #4 than I was by the MS5.

That did sell eventually though right? Or was there a 6.0 that sold? I can't remember.

You and I have been around too long for these prices to make any sense. I'm too bitter over the 9.8's I sold off in the past for 10% of these prices to think straight. lol

You and I both brother, you and I both. I regret EVERY book I've sold in the last 20 years. Hundreds of thousands of dollars left on the table :facepalm:

Yes. Well into six figures for me as well. 

The reality is though, I needed the money to keep buying/selling/collecting. Hard to continually acquire good stuff without also selling some of the good stuff...unless you are a trust funder, which sadly I am not.

to feel better and climb down of the ledge, figure out how many of the books you sold are now selling for LESS than years ago. or the same. (hint;  DCs)  Takes SOME of the sting out of letting stupid 9.8 Marvel #1s go for $100 a pop years ago, and see them go for $1800 now.  Im talking to YOU She-Hulk, Nova and the rest of your common as dirt spawn younger guys pay big $$ for today.

Yes, a lot haven't budged. I also wouldn't have....well, ANY....of the things I have now without buying/selling continuously as I always refused to put outside money into my hobby. I insisted it had to be self-sustaining, which was obviously a completely terrible choice in hindsight. lol

If you think that the comic market is "completely insane, totally inflated and irrational", you might want to check out the digital collectibles market. $1M for tec 27 feels like a STEAL in comparison for such a historic and rare book. We got narrowly outbid but are still looking for one for a comic DAO. DM if you have one, and/or AC #1. Also looking for Superman #1, Batman #1 and a few other golden age keys. Non-restored only. Thanks!
