Maybe, but I guess it would be more due to life event decisions like Berk, and a bit of luck to get to pull the trigger in a hot market.  But Even if you consign today, it could cool off before the gavel hits. 

My thoughts, precisely. Better to sell when it matches your life’s trajectory.

Hi.  Any reason the Batman 49 sold for so much (much higher than the 37)?  Thanks.

Right.  But step back a bit… with a collection of 100K or so, sure from that perspective anyone with 5M should cash in now rather than risk losing their gains,  that from !the 100K perspective, look too good to pass up.  But that 5M guy is just like you on a higher rung of the ladder.  His collection was already worth millions when this run up started… so he’s sticking around, same as you  Absent a life changing event, opting to sell “at the top” is never obvious till later.  So while his losses will be greater than yours, they will still be manageable ~ and recoupable, assuming he has the right books and didn’t overpay or borrow money to buy them.  

Not to mention the taxes.

I am shocked at the prices the PCH is bringing!

I ceased being shocked at comic prices starting about a year ago.

Just goes to show a lot, if not most, of the whales are not active participants on the boards.

Or maybe they are, but don't post about their wins or what they're targeting.

Yes, you did. 
 

this one had a rusty staple and still brought $240k. Astounding 

Rust never sleeps, ...just ask Neil Young or Alec Baldwin.

Maybe because it’s the 1st Mad Hatter and Vicki Vale? It’s also the one and only 9.6 copy to exist as well.

Turns out it’s not the only 9.6 to exist. There’s 5 total copies in that grade.

it would be tough to justify not selling in this market.

It is indeed a conundrum - do you stick or twist?

The only problem is that by the time you get your books through the maze that is CGC, the entire marketplace might be completely different by then.

First appearance of Vicki Vale, first Mad Hatter, classic red Joker cover, etc. I much prefer issue 37 myself, but there's a lot of key content in 49.

EDIT: Jason beat me to it in his last post.

Nice indeed but $30K?

GGA is the rage.

Solid high quality but not necessarily Classic Designation worthy GGA seemed to do really well today too.

Anything with scantily clad females or damsels in distress on the cover is on fire.

I don't like to brag, but I've got a hot lead on a high-grade copy. I know a guy who knows a guy.
