Yep, trying to close the gap with Batman #1 and equal/better than Cap 1 maybe.

 

If you don't count the two high profile copies that sold in the last 12 months, sure.

I thought there were more but I couldn't find them so I thought I was wro.....wro... wrong. Thanks for clearing that up.

I did during the previous auction back in November or whenever it was.  

Didn't seem to help as they sent me another Art Auction catalogue via FedEx which I promptly tossed straight into the recycle bin without even bothering to flip it open to take a gander at.      

@lou_fine What is wrong with you ? That has a picture of Black Spidey costume/Venom in Secret Wars in 30 years it will sell for 100k plus what were you thinking man. I hate to say this but yes when you look like this in 30 years you remember that I told you so.

There were indeed a few others, but they were not in Blue universal labels, including one of them that was a restored CGC 9.0 copy.

Yes right, quite a few restored were sold the past few years. So was the last Blue Label Action 1 sold in public the 8.5 in 2018?

If by public you aren't counting the blue 3.0 that ComicConnect auctioned last month for $1.6 million (which was my basis for the comparison to the Tec27), or the resale of the 8.5 last April, then yes.

Yes, let's not forget the then record sale price of $3.25M for the Universal blue CGC 8.5 graded copy back in April of 2021, although that appears to have been a non-auction private sale:

Needless to say, the buyer of this copy here must be absolutely ecstatic with a mere CGC 6.0 graded copy that sold yesterday for the relatively astounding sum of $3.18M.

Disappointed in you Lou. Conveniently forgetting the 6.0 had a stamped rocket on it with the back story. That must have added at least an additional million .

Bats 1 vs MC 1 coverless

 

38.4k vs 40.8k

 

Same PQ and the Bats1 presented better!

 

Tides are turning for MC1 rising with 4.5 with tape at 360k

The actual stamp that is included with the book pushed it up another mil. Weee

$13k

I thought the Batman’s, even the mid-grade earlier copies went for really strong prices.

Seems cheap compared to the Ghost 6!

Across the board. Might be seeing the results of private equity buying into our little hobby. $2000 is the new $200.

Well, if that tiny little barely visible rocket stamp boosted the final price by a while mil, just imagine how much more this book will go for:

Should be worth at least a few more millions this coming Sunday since you can barely see either the Hulk or Wolvie under all of that "beautiful" penmanship, especially since it seems to have done the trick and avoided the purple PLOD label by covering up all of the color touch on the cover.
