I feel like it’s more likely the FF 5’s are just super hot right now, and it’s less any kind of shill bidding. I think I saw some kind of recent rumors about Dr. Doom. But could be shilling, on both copies I guess. This isn’t eBay so someone’s gunna have to foot the bill at the end lol. Not saying it’s not possible someone could ditch payment, sure it happens but it’s tougher with these auction houses than EBay. eBay just feels like a massive shill farm.

The ComicLink auction opened last night and there’s a FF #5 CGC 9.4 already at $210k, almost $50k over the GPA high.  Two people put in bids that high within hours of the auction opening?

Well, that's probably because it's about the one and only single SA book that I've ever really wanted after I started vintage comic book collecting back in the 80's.  :luhv:

I probavbly would have gotten my fix if I was lucky enough to have run across a copy in the used bookstore back in the day, but was never ever so lucky even though I wouldn't have known the significance of the book at the time.  :(  :facepalm:

I would tend to agree with you here since the lower graded CGC 9.2 Truckee Meadows copy had sold for $150,150 on Heritage back in April of this year and their latest CGC 9.2 graded copy in their current Signature Auction is already sitting at $150K with still another 3 weeks to go.  (thumbsu

Yeah I mean those are pretty big and visible books in two bigger auctions. Not sure someone would want to draw that kind of attention, especially being the same comic. But who knows 🤷‍♂️.

Must be the WHITE pages lol Can only be...

Yeah I saw that. I believe I know who is bidding up these books... he's been well known to create fake large sales before so this was no surprise given he is holding 2 FF5's in 9.4 I believe and can't sell em for his unrealistic sky high price.

Well, maybe somebdy needs to assure that he gets a couple more copies into his personal collection which he also wouldn't be able to sell then.  :devil:

Well, I guess that's what can happen when the supply of these in-demand books starts coming out of the woodwork and ends up showing up in every single major auction on a regular basis.  hm

lol well looking at it now, that might be the case. If that happens, he can corner the high graded FF5 market :nyah:

Wait a minute, ...did I accidentally click on the "Tell me you're middle-aged without telling me you're middle-aged" thread?  :whatthe:

I’m sorry to inform you, my friend, that even middle age is in my rear view mirror

Why isn't the crypto crash affecting the prices of comics? :taptaptap:

Because GA comics are the safest investment on the planet.  :bigsmile:  I think our history has demonstrated that...unless you invest in photo-cover singing cowboy westerns...:insane:

Hey man, if you hang a copy of Gene Autry comics on the wall and play "Back in the Saddle Again," it's like Gene's personally serenading you. You can't put a price on that.
