Yes. The sale will be announced next month. Report got both the book and price wrong 

Rick, not sure if you can make this clarification at this time, but if you can -- when you say got the book wrong, is that as in not even an Action 1? Or just the wrong copy? (Which most of us assumed)

Totally understood if you can’t even clarify that, of course. Looking forward to the real news next month (thumbsu

I don’t know if Rick can say anything regarding that since he’s under an NDA.

Hmmm

I Truly have no specific knowledge of a new action 1 selling. I just know it wasn’t the mile high. But if a new action 1 sold, we will hear about it

There’s no nda. This is just a generic response that news needs to come from the buyer or seller. Not apps and Facebook and message boards

There’s no nda. Just a request from owner not to break any news before they do. 

 

<-------- ignorant in these matters

 

Without revealing any info about the transaction, can you (or anyone) explain why the owner would ask this?

Because a new owner(s) would want to be the ones to break the news. Especially if it’s a big deal. Why would you want a third party revealing ?

 

kind of like a press release. Big news in our hobby should be broken by the players themselves. Not third parties

Need to clarify. I was only referring to the fact that the third party app report of the mile high action 1 selling for 4.5 mil is wrong. 
 

it’s the wrong book and price. If this app has knowledge , it’s not up to them to report. As a hobby third party reporting should be taken with a grain of salt and should be done by the buyer / sellers. So wait for an upcoming announcement about a sale such as this. Don’t rely on third party info 

 

I apologize if I was vague or not clear, but my posts were only referencing the incorrect announcement of the mh action 1. I have NO knowledge of another action 1 selling …but if it did, I would  wait for a big announcement about it from the owners,  It’s not for me or any third party to reveal. 
 

hope that clarifies

Exactly…the headline said MH copy and now they have changed it.  MH copy might be a 20-25 million dollar book right now, and like it was mentioned earlier, the $10,000,000 dollar number has been thrown around as being turned down for at least the past 10-15 years.

How could you possibly take anything seriously from a website that values mid-grades at less than low grade books???

Also since when is a mid-grade AC 1 110k? That's laughable.

I have no insider knowledge of any of this, but somewhere in my reading various sites, I saw that a Superman #1 sold recently for a very high price.  I'd guess that's the correct book, even if the $4.5M is still wrong.

Possibly connected (but who knows), a new CGC 7.0 Superman #1 appeared on the CGC Census in mid-October 2021.

I'm sure that's the Metro/CC book.  They auctioned that one off.  I'd be surprised (well, maybe not) if it changed hands already.

According to Bleeding Cool it was a CGC 6.0 (the Rocket Copy, gotta admit I'm not familiar with that pedigree) that sold for $3 180 000USD.

Edit:False Alarm. This sale is too recent to be the sale in question. Carry on, folks.
