AF 9.6 coming to auction 7 7

[Jaydogrules]

I think it will go for between 3.5MM and 4MM.

Yes, it will beat the Action 1.

I'm kind of in this camp. There are 4 universal 9.6s and 0 - 9.8s. 

The last 9.4 sold on Heritage was over a year ago for nearly $800k (that I found with a quick Google search).  AF15 is flying, it is tied for the highest graded copy and there probably won't be many opportunities to own a nicer copy. 

I think it's going to top the AC1 and set a new record. $3.5M for me. 

 

With this book, there is always risk that it won't be the highest graded copy forever or even for long. But I really don't think that matters.  Spidey is big enough that the value won't take a hit even if people CPR 9.4s into 9.8s.

Also available in Heritage's previews of the auctions, at the very end of the preview listings.

It's a really nice looking book, from the scan.

I'd love to see Spidey beat the record.  Big guns are coming out for this one.  I think even mores than we saw for the latest Action 1 and Tec 27's

Ahh I like your thinking. The Marvel keys are on fire after all compared to DC, anything can happen with a 9.6 AF #15. 

When you’re talking about Marvel vs. DC and which one is hotter that may work when you’re comparing AF15 to Showcase 22 but it doesn’t work when comparing to an Action 1 and never has. The reason being Action 1 has 42 blue labels in the census and AF15 has 2,204. Even if demand is slightly more for Spidey than Superman the limited supply has always made Action 1 the winner.

Higest graded AF 15 might win out. I'm starting to head in that direction.  We might have a record holder folks

It looks like you could resub this one and have a good shot.

Still only Off-White though...

That’s what I was originally saying. There’s just no way it’ll surpass an Action. #1 just for that reason.

Is this a TRUE 9.6 OR is it one that's been pressed and pressed until the current grade?

In looking at this amazing collection of mostly 9.8's online on the CGC register sets site, it appears ASM1 is a 9.4 which is the lowest graded book. Besides the 1-100 there is also a copy of ASM ANN 1 in 9.6. Look for every issue of this run to break a record.Given the perfection of this run, It is highly likely that this is not a upgrade. We are looking at a perfectionist collector here.

That would break any existing price record by a mile, if a copy exits...given the age of the book, I do not think one exists at the 9.8 level, if one did hit the market it would be easily 5 million, possibly 7 Million

Yep. I mean it just wouldn’t make sense. But all that said all it takes is 2 people with unlimited funds to bid a book like this to the stratosphere, so anything’s possible but I agree with @Crowzilla I’d be setting the over/under around 2.5M, which is still an insane amount but seems about right given the 9.4 price of AF15 last year.

I agree with that price. It’ll be crazy to see what happens to the book on the internet bid and the live bid.

I don’t know what’s a TRUE 9.6 anymore after seeing this (link below) but sure let’s call it a TRUE 9.6 for argument’s sake…

What an embarrassment 

[bpc3qh]

I'll predict the AF 15 to go somewhere between 2.5 and 3 million. It won't beat the Action 1, but it'll come close.

  It really rather simple......Just buy this copy here and crack it out and then resub it back to CCS and CGC asking them to grade it according to the Promise Collection grading standards, and it'll easily come back as a CGC 9.8, if not even as a CGC 9.9 graded copy.
