You do realize that I am referring to the CC CGC 8.0 graded copy and not to the HA CGC 9.0 9.4 optimized copy since that one there is already a done deal at a record $2.22M price point.  :devil:

I don't know what copy is what any more 8.0 to 8.5 to 9.0 than 9.4 :ohnoez:

After the final bid but before the hammer slammed the auctioneer said something like "A huge part of collecting is bragging rights". I guess it probably didn't make a difference but I was thinking couldn't he think of something better to say to motivate one more bidder to bid. I really thought there would be one more bid at the end. Anyone know what price one more full bid would have made it end at?

 

 

 

It finished at $1.85 mil pre BP ($2,220,000 with BP) so one more bid would have put it at $1.9 mil pre BP, and the premium is 20%. So one more bid would have pushed it to $2,280,000 or another $60K.

Thanks , I wasn't sure if it was at 50,000 or 100,000 dollars incriments at that point.

Yeah I wonder at what point does it jump from $50K to $100K increments 🤔. After a book reaches $5 mil maybe, which hasn’t been done so far 🤷‍♂️.

I was digging through some old paper work and found one of my old letters that had been sent from CC trying to drum up business back in 2011. They talk about breaking the $1 Mil barrier with the Kansas City and setting the then Guinness Record of $1.5 Mil at the time for the then Highest Graded CGC Action #1. They also mention, that at the time they only charged a 10% sellers premium and no buyers premium .20210115_234508.thumb.jpg.b720a9686b79b76bd60bb84564361f0f.jpg20210115_232538.thumb.jpg.f036e8f2d8e6574930ffd110315a0188.jpg20210115_232555.thumb.jpg.aebae3d1eeb4ebab234a3e69f96792c9.jpg

Just dawned on me that the highest graded Bats 1 almost 1 million more than highest graded pedigree Marvel 1 not too long ago. 

I suppose many of you know who currently owns that 9.4 Marvel 1 (I don't). I suppose if they let it loose now they'd make a great profit. I'd like to see that. I'd also like to see one of the four 6.0 or higher Superman 1's come around to see where they would land at these days. I don't think any of them have been offered for at leat 20 years. :signofftopic: I know.

Tec 38 9.4 :baiting:

Soon to be 9.8 wait for it :whistle:lf?set=path%5B1%2F8%2F8%2F5%2F1885740%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D

I remember when this particular book almost seem like a hot potato about 10 to 15 years ago with buyers reselling it after every few years at a seemingly lower price point.  Looks like the last time it sold was for $107,550 back in 2009 after the previous owner had paid $126,500 for it back in 2005.  :tonofbricks:  :(

I guess the current owner if they are the one that picked it up for $107,550 would be ecstatic atwhat the book should be able to fetch in today's hyper red hot marketplace, especially since it is still the single highest graded copy of a key GA book.  :whee:  :banana:

Honestly that could be a 9.8 and I wouldn’t see a difference. GORGEOUS copy!

I guess you really can't tell a book strictly by its front cover since this book was originally graded as being only a VF copy by Payette when the Allentown Collection first came into the marketplace.  Of course, Payette always had a reputation of being a tough grader, but still, that's a huge difference in grading since maximaztion of potential was still a few years away from being known in the marketplace back then as the book was graded way back in 2002.  hm  :whatthe:  :takeit:

What a tease, thinking a possible 9.8 ☹️

Well, at least it's not on the front cover as that would have been a lot more prominent there.  (thumbsu

Most books with dust or sun shadows on them usually tend to have matching shadows on both the front and back covers.  I guess this copy of 'Tec 38 managed to fare a lot better with just the back cover being exposed.  :)

Not sure about the grading nowadays, but I believe they were a lot easier on these kinds of visual shadow defects with the prior grading regimes, but the current one with Matt Nelson in charge tends to hit it a bit harder when the grading hammer comes down.  Not sure if this is actually true or not???  hm  (shrug)
