The San Francisco MMCs in today’s heritage auction only went for 2 to 3 x Guide, and non-pedigrees are in the doldrums Both Subby and Torch (the FF version) are virtually guaranteed to be in the MCU within the next lustrum* give or take, and thence to be much more in the public eye. *5 years (but when you say "lustrum" it sounds so much more authoritative) Edited August 1, 2019 by bluechip GreatCaesarsGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's over 5.8 times guide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's over 5.8 times guide! That's funny. Truly, I got overbid on the 47 and immediately left Heritage without watching the rest . . . Maybe my ratios are low, but that's what it seemed like. Regardless, MMCs are cold, IMO Although I will say my 40 and 44 did well in the last CC auction. To my knowledge, if it ain't 1, 40,44, or 46, it gets ignored. You know, I really would not have my feelings hurt if I was told I was wrong, though.

Georgie123 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Damn. I really thought I would win this auction at $1000 dollars. I though no one was watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 ....Amazing Man 22 is a phenomenon. New high on low to mid grade copies everytime it comes to auction. I used to 'hear' that it was one collector that had snatched most of them up in past auctions, don't know if that's still the case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustEatBrains Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Someone got a really great deal on the tec 37 4.0. I thought that was going much higher than the hammer. Professor K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have definitely snagged that one. Well under guide, I think. FC 9 is a funny book (a funny funny book?). It's been a laggard for quite a while now. Combination, imo, of Barks having faded a bit, not a great cover (which isn't by Barks), not all Barks on the story, not a great story, and not a particularly scarce book. Still, that was a low price. I'd also have bid it up if I were in buying mode, which I'm also not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned that book at one point. Sold it when I upgraded. I both bought it and sold it for a lot less than it went for today. One of my favorite GA covers and my favorite Baker non-romance cover. I think this shows again that SS 4 does much better in the market than does SS 6, although I know there are some boardies who prefer 6 to 4.

Dark Knight Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 4 hours ago, Gotham Kid said: AS8 in mid-grade has really come down ... Indeed, because there are so many of them available to choose from in the open market. The CGC 5.0 HA copy that sold too was pretty darn ugly as well with all that color touch removal. Not a fan at all, I'm sure most would feel the same. In any case, if I am still a bigger fan of Sensation 1 over AS 8 and WW1. Just a much better cover than the other two and the hardest to come by for sale. Superman2006 and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor K Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Sure were some nice books sold today. I almost pulled the trigger on this one but controlled myself because its an Action 19 that I really want. Looks pretty nice for a 3.0 - $2,880.00 Edited August 1, 2019 by Dinosaur jr. batman_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Funny how I didn't receive any email notifications regarding the auction ending today. Glad I didn't see any books that are must needs for me or else I would've been pissed! Also, if I was a consignor I didn't like how the auction ended early during a work day. I'm sure there are some bidders who missed out on bidding on a few books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
