Only $7800? I know it had tape, but that's at least 5k lower than I was expecting.

Definitely on the low side if you compare it to other recent sales from a few months ago such this one here which also had tape on it to attached a married cover to the book.  Besides the married cover, looks likt the tape was also used to hold together the cover of the spine which was completely split, and yet this copy here was still able to fetch a rather astounding $5,280:  :whatthe:  :p

Maybe the consignor might have done better if he had broken the book up and sold it off in parts, especially since this Incomplete raw Poor condition front cover without the other 66 pages of the book still managed to fetched an even more astounding $3,332.40 back in May of this year:  :whatthe:  :whatthe:

Then again, when I clicked onto your link this GA book right next to the copy of 'Tec 37 certainly looks pretty burning red hot from its final price:  (thumbsu

I didn't mean it that way.

I know, but I'm looking for every possible sign that it's finally here, because lord knows some people have been predicting it for long enough.

Certainly the Mickey Mantle 9.5 card selling for ONLY $12.6 million is a clear sign the end is here.

$12.6M for one card, and we were wondering if the $25M promise collection would tap out the market.

The only thing it's a clear sign of is the end of the crypto and cards bull markets.

The impact on comics and OA is zero, as has always been the case.  I'm looking as hard as I can, and I can detect no signs of a crash in the comics or OA market.

Same here. :(

I LOVE Tec37. One of my favorite preRObin Tec covers.

That 1.5Q is mine also. If I could, I'd buy every single copy made available.

The Heritage 3.0 copy has been passed around more times than I can remember. I think it has seen EVERY single auction house and also ebay on multiple occasions lol

Still, @7800 I wouldn't resist.

Watching the HA auction and prices have stalled a bit but given the CLINK results I expect a bunch of activity right before the live auction and some crazy high prices when things hammer.  I am really interested to see what the Ghost Rider cover does.  I have a decent splash by Mark so wondering where the value has moved from when I bought it.

Collectibles are alive and well when you see that nuttiness.

I’m into a lot more categories of collectibles than just comics. Vintage toys, advertising, sports and political items. I have seen a definite rise in prices of a lot of things that have been flat or on the downslide recently.

I recently set up at a large, local vintage toy and advertising show. My sales were the best I have seen in many years. I got very little price resistance on stuff like even Hoppalong Cassidy, Hanna Barbera toys, and even early Platinium age characters. And it wasn’t just “old folks” buying. Then quality and rare items usually do OK anyway. Nice advertising and sports items are always solid sellers. 

Collectors are addicts. No matter where you are in life, you always need to add that next piece to your stash.
