Somone took a bath on JLA # 1 and Flash #105

Looks like the JLA and Flash that sold for 125k on Comic link just went for 60k on Heritage.

Flash #105 might have sold for more if the book had been deserving of the grade on the label.

Buying at the absolute top of the market is always a sound investment strategy.

Why would anybody price those books at $125K? It seemed a little insane at the time.

Whoever picked up the JLA 1 for $29,900 did okay, in my opinion (and no, it wasn't me). It's a solid book and is not out of place in a 9.4 slab.

I gather that you didn't win the SOTI ?

yes and no. At the time, Marvel keys were breaking 100K regularly. So here finally were two killer DC mega keys. Far scarcer in 9.4 than any Marvel SA key. So, given this calculus (and the fact that the buyer was not at a loss fo rcash and only wanted the best) thats how you get 125K. And wasnt this sale right after other DC SA keys sold for comparable amounts? It looked like the big DC catchup phase was beginning, and JP was getting in early.

 

Finally, Steve/Vinnie, honestly, if you had these two books and JP on the hook for them, what would YOUR package price have been???

 

yeah, I thought so!!!

If you didnl;t care why are you even talking about it. I SWEAR Greggy sometimes you make no sense at all! Then there are the times you talk senselessly!

[BleekerBob]

I think 60k for those two books is a steal. I thought they would have sold for a lot more. I didnt bid because this Ewert scandal has caused me to re evaluate the hobby especially speding money on big ticket items.

[the blob]

why do buyers "only want the best" if they want to try and flip them 15 minutes later?

[Comic Rush-migration]

Could the price for 125k be caused by shill bids? I'm not accusing!!!! So hold on...I'm just hypothetically speaking and being a devil's advocate.

 

Or the 125k vs. 65k or whatever the different prices were could have been caused by the amount of buyers, marketing and timing. Just like the stock market.
