Only two days before Live bidding starts for Platinum Day, and aside from the DKR cover, barely any noticeable movement in prices.

normally, Wed see a bump of 10-20% from the previous week, but it looks like folks are waiting to bid even closer to live date!

Or folks have less money b/c BTC is now 20K and the stock market puked again

I hope you’re right because there are so many pieces I’d love to own, but I suspect BTC and bear market will have little impact to final prices

Placed a few bids, looks great! Found the only resistance was a Peanuts strip... don't need a second bite at the apple to tell me someone really wants those dailies

Replying to you less than 24 hours later- now the DKR #1 cover is at 1.95 million

History in the making .. ....who was it who said $ 6 million is possible?

Not me. I privately told a few of you $3.4m, but it's just a guess.

Few, except the financially capable and motivated have any idea. Er...and Jim

I believe I said 2 - 7.5 pre auction with 4.5 being my guess as to the most likely outcome.    The potential range is enormous but it looks like a decent floor is already established… it will be fun to watch

This may not go over well with this crowd, and I respect the book for its place in the history of the hobby, it was really groundbreaking, cool, and different from what I remember as a kid, and I think the cover demands a few million just for what it belongs to....but if it helps you be more at ease with your mehh feelings about this cover you can try and look at it like my admittedly degenerated brain sees it, and can now not unsee.  It's sort of like those optical illusions with the dual picture old lady/young lady etc.

Clearly the dark knight was previously injured trying once again to jump head first into a lightning bolt.

On the 29th of May I predicted in this thread that DKR 1 will make at least $4.5M

Some factors to consider

*Secret Wars 8 page sold 3.3M

**two comics, AF 15 3.6 M and now reported the private sale of Superman 1 CGC 8.0 sold for $5.3M in January.
 

This type of confidence in collectibles makes it easier for those with the means to justify paying record prices.

DKR 1 is positioned to 👍 attract those closing bids and should produce a magical price we’ll be talking about for awhile.

Wait, is this Wolverine? And why does he look as though he needs a dose of Pepto?

Earlier this morning, I was doing a final review of the Platinum Day auction items that I want to bid on, and I noticed something interesting.  There appears to be two 2-hour separations in start times throughout today's auction.  The 1st block of items starts in approximately 4.5hrs, followed by a 2-hr stoppage before the 2nd block of items starts, and it does so again for a 3rd time today.

Anyone else notice this breakup to the auction day?

They always do the platinum stuff separately.

This time, they are also doing the Darren Shan collection separately.

Then the rest of the thursday items (non-platinum non-Shan).

So, the extra break is due to the specific Shan collection session.

The breaks are to give everyone a chance to mine for more crypto......

Yup, the comic book portion is live, and results are quite strong
