I think we are going to see a pretty decent correction on all this stuff...

Based upon the prices paid for most of these Promise Collection books, I would tend to agree with your assessment here, but still nowhere close to the 70% to 90% wipeout that we have seen in some of the former high flying big name Nasdaq growth stocks.  :tonofbricks:  :tonofbricks:

I've bought zero books from the Promise collection so far.  Even in the weekly auctions they're going for more than I'm willing to pay.

I am actually not that surprised you haven't brought any books from the Promise Collection because based upon some of your more recents posts on these boards here, you seem to be approaching the point in your collecting life cycle whereby you are starting to downsize your personal collection, as opposed to significantly adding to it.  (thumbsu

True, but I still like to bottom fish, and absolutely NOTHING has slipped through the net from this collection (at least not in high grade, I can't speak to the lower grade copies). 

Mid-run late 1940s issue from obscure title with no GGA or other super hot aspect, in a weekly auction?  Still record price-setting.

I can give people the exact date of the correction, March 16th, 2024.

How do I know you ask, that is right after I retire and start selling stuff I have been holding on to for tax reasons

Congrats on being the highest bidder!

I'll take the Tec29 and Tec31 over the OA, but if I had to choose OA I'd prefer the OA to Detective 59

Was anyone else surprised by the strength of the Cheslers?

Guess I should have jumped on that Dynamic 18 I saw at WonderCon a few months ago. It was a raw 7.0 maybe a little better for $2,500 with no takers. Just couldn’t see spending that for maybe a one grade jump to my current copy…doh!

Chesslers, especially in nice shape are tough.

I kid you not, I had a Dynamic 18 in about that grade that I couldn't get a $1000 for. I sold it for less than that maybe year ago. Dozens of boardies and dealers saw it. 

Ludicrous result. 

Edit: I feel better after checking GPA. Can't predict crackhead bidding.

Probably my old copy.

That Dynamic Comics #16 was the steal of the bunch.  That books is SO underrated.  The cover is low-key awesome when you really study it.

Plus! it has a Reefer King - Reefer Madness story with "funny cigarettes" :whatthe:

Only now just had the time to go through the latest HA offerings and out of everything listed there were two I'm super interested in seeing where they land. 

The single highest graded Adventure Comics #48 (1st Hourman) looks amazing, and such a universal has never been at auction (The restored Larsen Pedigree 9.2 was sold back in 2004 but looks to no longer be in the census. Is this that copy but with the restoration removed, and in the process it lost the pedigree? Never mind, this is totally not the Larsen copy when you compare them). Hourman is my favourite, so regardless of what it sells for I'll still feel it sold for much less than it deserves :D

Also very excited to see Voodoo #8 make an appearance. Just barely over 23 copies of this book in census and has one of the best skull faced PCH covers ever (the colors on this book are mind numbing beautiful), and this is tied for highest graded. Last time the other 9.0 was sold was also back in 2004. I'm happy I was able to find an affordable copy of this book recently, but I would give anything to upgrade to this gem.

Wow , sold on e bay last time around. Yeah it may very well hit 1.5. If not then darn close I bet.

And I guess the reason I started with 1.5 mil is because I refuse to assume it won't break a mil haha, like last time. I just don't know if I believe this will break or come close to 2 mil though. The love for AS8 just isn't there seemingly, unfortunately. Seeing Action 1, Tec 27, Supes 1 and Bat 1's doing crazy numbers, and yet AS8 is right where it always has been from what I've noticed in lower grades recent auction sales. This is obviously a special copy though, so have to imagine there's some kind of premium to be had from the previous sale.
