What I'm wondering is, why are books that no one ever cared about all of a sudden selling for ten times guide? Who's paying those prices?

The obvious increase in what comics have been selling for the past year give or take is a bittersweet situation to me. The good thing is my collection has risen in value :headbang:, the bad thing is I'm not done yet which means the books I still need are going to cost me more than I planned, and some I may never have a chance of owning now :pullhair:

This just won't do. The bidders should be found and punished severely to serve as an example to any other independent minded collectors.

With what books are selling for now, I'm ready to call my collection done. I may sell a few books to fund the purchase of others, but I don't want to put more money in at current prices. The prices on key books don't surprise me, but the prices that relatively unimportant books are selling for don't make sense to me. I don't know how to estimate any kind of long-term value for anything.

Looked at the results from yesterday some big prices seen and some not.The classic cover push is still going on along with keys one worthy of notice was the Fight 31 MH copy going for some big bucks.The other was a surprise Wonderworld 7 a 3.0 going for 9k should make some owners happy, but Lou Fine has always been a fav of mine.:luhv:

Can you give examples of the books you are referring to?

I’m more interested to know who paid over 2 million for a Batman than who paid over 20k for a Catman!

+1

Yes, what's the big deal with Batman and Catman anyways as they tend to show up in almost every single auction nowadays, especially the former.  :p

The real and only man to pay attention to in this hobby is Fatman, the Human Flying Saucer.  Especially since I have a File Copy set of this whole run and it should deservely go for 100X top of guide when I go to sell it in this red hot marketplace:  :banana:

Silver Age (1956-1969):Humor, Fatman, the Human Flying Saucer #3 Twin Cities pedigree (Lightning Comics, 1967) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages....

I thought the Fantastic Comics #3 did very well. Didn't think it would go that high for a 0.5 book. 

Well, that's probably because you have to ignore that number at the top left hand corner of the slab here:  :gossip:

lf?set=path%5B2%2F3%2F2%2F9%2F0%2F23290778%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D

Looks like CGC simply took the lazy and easy way out here by simply slapping a 0.5 incomplete grade to this book because it's missing the back cover.  :facepalm:

From the front cover and assigned PQ, this book would certainly present a lot nicer than your standard CGC 0.5 Poor graded book and should have really been slabbed with a Green Qualified with a proper grade in order to present potential bidders with a more informative condition grade.  hm

I assume this is one of those manufactured to be ultra rare modern variants that Marvel printed and warehoused a couple thousand extra pristine copies of somewhere, for slow release to the market.

It's clearly worth over $14K.  Didn't you see that it's 9 years old and there are only 137 copies in 9.8?

Yes, what's wrong with all of you old fogies on the GA boards here who don't seem to understand what true rarity is nowadays.  :makepoint:

After all, there's only a meagre 157 copies (including Signature copies) in this equivalent CGC 9.8 graded condition to date so far, plus only another 228 in CGC 9.6 condition lining up in front of the pressing machine.  It's not like there were a thousand already slabbed copies in this grade which might possibly take it out of the Rare bucket at that point.  :devil:  :screwy:

The variant of the first Miles Morales. Modern AF 15.

As high as that is it's nothing, NOTHING, compared to the insanity of modern sports cards. Hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, for cards printed in the last 10 years. Mind blowing stuff.
