sfcityduck Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The dentist and his son must be happy. The top four books he owns might just be $20M in value based on a sale like this. ChillMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big premium that is all speculation until someone writes the check. The pool of buyers is getting very small at that level. Too much of a hot potato for someone to buy for any reason other than love. october and Robot Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Damutantman Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Interesting that CGC's article says this copy is tied with one other 8.0, but according to the census, one of the 8.0s was replaced by an 8.5 within the last few months (between 12/18/21 and 2/8/22 to be specific). I wonder how much the 8.5 copy would go for, or if the Church premium would still have the two books neck and neck (assuming the Church isn't now the 8.5).

Feels like money and less love that's driving prices now a days. But I agree, not sure 20 mil would be the mark for the Church Action 1. I definitely see a world where someone spends over 10 though, not even a question. Have to wonder how much that pool of buyers has grown the last couple years also. I doubt it's comic book lovers spending all these millions. Maybe just super wealthy investors or even corporations looking to get in, but who knows. It's not like anyone buying all these books are showing it off publicly anywhere. I have a hard time believing the same pool of buyers 5 years ago that might barely break a mil or not quite get there on these mega grails are the ones still buying them at over 2-3 mil every time. Just seems like the pool has gotten bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promoting the sale as an 8.0, but now it's an 8.5. Seems gratuitous to me. Like the new owner is trying to prop it up artificially to resell as an 8.5, but now flip it for 7 mil+ maybe. I mean why not just promote it for what it is currently, an 8.5? Or maybe it doesn't matter lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's not a weird thing to do, despite not being an 8.0 anymore. I just assumed the other 8.0 was the one that bumped until you said it was the church copy.

An 8.0 was removed from census. The church 8.0 serial no longer there, so had to be the church that upgraded to 8.5.
