Are prices still climbing or have they eased up a bit??? 41 41

[kimik]

I think the issue with the 6.0 is that it is looks more like a 5.0/5.5. And the 8.0 looks 7.5 at best.

Have a bunch of tracking bids on Comiclink ending tonight and I’m stunned at the spread on Action 242.  Still some decent room to go to hit recent sales prices on both copies. 

 

I’ve got tracking on the same two and yeah I’m a bit surprised at the spread as well but the main book on CL I’m watching (not bidding) is this one… just not a book you see everyday with a yellow label:

ASM #50 cgc 9.8 $125k

AF #15 cgc 6.5 $100k

This is an interesting one. Apparently only 10 copies at 9.8 exist and the cover was done by a deceased beloved artist. Last sale in GPA was $8850 (2021), but the one before that was $200 (2020). Given the high sale was in the middle of the comic boom I am inclined to think the seller did very well with this one, but that person may disagree with me.

I personally believe there are many more copies of this book sitting around somewhere.  Seriously.  It was a promo giveaway.  The artist was a clothing designer and offered the book in coordination with sales of his T Shirt. 

The copy that sold tonight was originally offered for $16,000 on eBay earlier this year.

Here was the thread discussing it.  Check out my last post in it.

The AF15 that sold tonight was a 6.5 not a 6.0.  The only reason I am nitpicking the grade is because it is mind numbing to consider that a 6.5 went for almost double that a couple of years ago.  So whoever paid almost $200 for that grade 2-3 years ago is taking a bath to the tune of $100k.

I remember that the 6.0's were climbing up there too.  My 6.0 is worth more than I paid so I am happy.  Honestly I am not kicking down doors or anything.  However, I would be lying if it didn't tingle my arm for it to be worth more.  So... I will wait.

$225k my lordy lord lord lord...

Was just reviewing the Clink sales from last night and have to say they looked pretty weak to me... and not just Marvel silver.  Besides the trends that we're all familiar with, late August is not a good time for featured comic book auctions.

[Robot Man]

I don’t pay a lot of attention to the big books at the big auction houses.

I have noticed some pretty cool books at the smaller end of the spectrum going for pretty decent prices on the Bay lately.

I either forgot about or didn’t bid on a few cool GA books that went a lot below what I would have bid if I was paying better attention…

[DC#]

Will be pulling together a summary of this Clink auction over the next few weeks.    After night one I think things might be all over the map - there were some pretty strong results on top of census books.    And even though that AF #15 6.5 is still way off peak - it is pretty much in line with the other two sales in 2024 and not that far off the end of 2022.   Here is my list of 6.5 sales from the "Six Figure" thread.   

 

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $225k March 2022.   Previous $72k in 2020

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $180k June 2022 (ComicConnect)

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $120k June 2022 (Heritage)

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $125.8k Aug 2022 (Clink)

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $110k Dec 2022 (Comic Connect)

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $105k Jan 2024. (GPA noted sale - platform unknown) 

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $101k Feb 2024 (clink) 

Amazing Fantasy #15 6.5 - $100k Aug 2024 (Clink)

Someone has way to much money, I wouldn't urinate on it if it was on fire.

Interesting to note that this set managed to hit into the teens, but I imagine nowhere close to the Reserve price as the bid has now been bumped up all the way to $7,900 with the notation that the next bid of $8K will hit the reserve price.  Wonder if anybody will be willing to hit the bid button, considering the sheer number of uber HG copies of this book out there?    

 

The answer was a resounding nopers! 

[whomerjay]

I mistakenly thought the GA CL auctions ended tonight. I had tracking bids on about 30 books that ended last night.

Glad I missed it. Other than the Ghost Comics #7, I would've been crushed on every book.  Granted, I typically avoid mainstream superhero (although I wanted several HG Wonder Woman that must have broken GPA highs) so I don't know how they did, but wrt everything I pursue, the market remains strong.

I think auction houses sometimes ask the seller if they would be interested in lowering the reserve to the highest bid price or offering a 2nd chance offer to the highest 3 bidders.  I wonder if they gave the seller that option and they declined or if the seller may still do the sale with one of the highest 3 bidders after the fact in private.

[Stefan_W]

The early ASMs I was hunting for in the CL auction are already sitting over current market value. Looks like I will be sitting on my hands again tonight.

Everything I bid on goes for way over "FMV."
