atomised Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Does anyone know if this book has ever been offered before? I could not find any prior listings. Curious to know if we know anything about any history of the book or provenance. I can't afford to bid but I'm curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I seem to recall that the owner held onto it for a long time after selling the rest. Something about saving it to pay for his daughters wedding. But he sold it over 20 years ago.. waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that blows to be the seller However, it could mean a "good deal" for any potential buyers. I hope someone here wins it!

This ilooks like a loss leader auction designed to get the name out. It is working because Every CGC member is getting emails and we are talking about it. The book will get its price.

That's what I was thinking. Either no fee or darn near no fee for the reason you said. I still believe the owner of the book is taking a risk. It's at 660,00 with 14 days left and that seems pretty solid but at the end of the day I gotta think it will sell for at least 10% more on HA or CC. But I'm sure the owner has their reasons to choose Goldin and youre right it will get its price either way I suppose. Its an 8.0 Bat 1 for crying out loud. As we know the last Bat 1 8.0 sold for just over 1 million on CC in April. I use gocollect and they have no listing of this current 8.0 selling for 850,000 in February. I don't know how they could have missed that. I hate using the phrase "if I had the money" but if I had the money this would be the Bat 1 I would go after. Love those Larsons and this one looks real nice. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other reason to go with a new entity in terms of comics Professor K and Mmehdy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
