I was being a bit facetious with the 250-300k estimate but I do feel it would have gone higher if it was later in the auction.  It was too early. People weren’t sure what to make of this promise pedigree. 

Yeah, the $250K to $300K mark would definitely have been a bit of a stretch, as I feel that the $150K to $200K price range is much more realistic for the AA 61 given the results for some of the other later non-classic cover Promise Collection books that we have seen.

Not from my own personal POV as per a post I had made in the other thread since I thought bidders did not yet have a chance to "feel out" the auction at such an early stage, along with another boardie's response:    

 

 

That's a really interesting perspective you and @Peter G posted. The evidence certainly seems to back it up.

Whoa. Very strong price on the 7.0 Subby 32. 

Still nowhere close to the long awaited and much deserved $50,400 for the absolutely gorgeous Subby 13, as per my post in the other thread:

Well, they just finished the Subby run and looks like this classic bondage/snake cover issue here outperformed all of the other issues by a wide margin at just over $50K, and from my own personal point of view, long time coming and much deserved since most of the focus has tended to been on Subby 11:

I tallied it up at $7,020,840 just for the first session. Median price since Jimbo mentioned it was a whopping $25,200. Remember that simply means half of them went for more than the median, half for less.

That's very, very close to what the Berk sale yielded.

Except it was the entirety of the Berk collection. This is the tip of the iceberg.

From what I know, most of the berk books mostly went up in value when they resold.  I’ll be curious to see if the same pattern holds true for the Promise Collection when they come back

Which is why I chose it. 

The Promise collection has no big keys but the grade of the books and super-charged marketplace made for an explosive sale.

Anyone notice this non-Promise result?

That's uniformly been the case for the Church copies.  Not sure it was true of the lower grade and  non-ped copies.

I certainly hope so.  I tied myself in knots trying to avoid hitting the BID button and succeeded for the most part.  Unfortunately, my index finger slipped outta the knot twice.

That might be a Titanic understatement.

this auction is defying all logic imo

 

     I would tend to agree with this, especially from my perspective which is someone that has been out of the loop for a long period of time.  But how many times have we said this after an auction over the last 15 years?  And the market continues to march upward. I am truly in awe.

Whew! Night Nurse 1 closed at 27.6k …WOW!

I went to meet a friend for lunch, I figured it was safer. Right now I'm in awe. Congrats to the family.

We’ve never seen so many books closing 200-500% above perceived fmv. And the reg session (4) is full of very low, less than stellar results. I’d say session 4 is comic book collectors and session 3 was …well, I can’t even speculate. But surely wasn’t long time comic collectors.

I think close to a half mil for a non marvel/timely/DC is a better story.  Does the PL 17 now at least temporarily hold the title for highest price on a non marvel/timely/DC?

The PL 17 4.5 also went for a strong price...

I bid on a number of the later Subbies.   I had expected $10-15k per book, not $20 to 25K.  Blew my brains out on one.

True Crime #3 $31,200  

Overstreet NM value $2,800

This auction is making Overstreet completely Obsolete Street.

Which results did you feel were very low? I had to leave the house and haven't looked over that session. 

[Larryw7]

Does anyone know how much the Detective 120 went for?

[Sarg]

Eerie #1 9.2 $90,000.

Overstreet 2020 NM- 9.2 value = $15,000
