I heard someone say it's worth $10M, so 5.9 is clearly a bargain. Larryw7, tth2 and batman_fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Do you think the fact it has minor color touch and glue would solidly affect this sale and despite the pedigree? Don't get me wrong, I know how that works with some golden age books not getting a purple label, due to I think the resto being soo minor and I guess appropriate for the times right? Hence the blue label, but still makes me wonder if at this level it would affect the potential sale. Microchip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Kid Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 MF73 9.4 Mile High is likely a 400-500K book, not a 5Mil book Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're constantly getting an unending line of nay-sayers', saying the hobby will implode any day around the corner. With someone feeling confident enough to sink $5.3m into a single book, the assumption is that the person felt confident in the price, and their decision. Where do you see the hobby progressing from here? I'm not Roy, but I am Cautious. With the NASDAQ tanking 20% and economy teetering on rescission, one has to wonder. But the good news imo: 1. I don't think its like Autos, where Model A collectors gave way to generation of '40 Ford Coups collectors that gave way to '70s muscle cars collectors... because the old GA comics are still the origin stories and won't fall to the wayside like the '40 Ford Coup values. 2. With every economic cycle, the rich seem to keep getting richer. So, that probably won't change and they will still put money somewhere. 3. Comics have outpaced inflation for decades 4. Perhaps, just perhaps, comics will continue to move with the general collectable art market (I think it should)...? ...And eight, eight, I forget what eight was for Edited April 28, 2022 by path4play Microchip, comicnoir, Larryw7 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NASDAQ tanking will likely re-drive the market, as people look to alternate investment options. 4. This is definitely on the cards. The big sales will peek the interest of new entrants to the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the book is restored so the value is not anywhere near that Church is a universal. I think he paid about $40K. So I think he'll do well when he sells. His problem was the excessive, almost panicky, hyperbole he used when he stormed these boards begging people to value his comic for an overly high value for the time by saying something to the effect "It's my life, man!" when it was really just his comic. His pricing shows he doesn't need the money and isn't really interested in selling. It's a beautiful comic and he deserves some pride. My argument for MF 73 is that it is the first appearance of the original versions of two JLA members -- heroes that were in pretty much constant production from their first appearance on into the SA, which is much better than any superheroes other than Superman, Robin, Batman, and Wonder Woman (in that order). Both characters are current media properties. My argument against MF 73 is that golden age GA and Aquaman were third tier heroes. They weren't in the JSA. And they weren't on MF 73's cover or many covers at all. They were backups. Many DC characters had a much higher profile than GA and Aquaman, Plus it is not an early GA book. So in the hierarchy of DC GA books, it is a reasonable position that it is not a top DC and is easily below Action 1, D27, Superman 1, Batman 1, All-American 16, Flash 1, All-Star 8, MF 52, Adventure 40, and is, at best, fighting for the 10 spot with MF 55, Sensation 1, WW 1, GL 1, D 1 & 31 & 33 & 38, Action 7, and maybe others.

Many DC characters had a much higher profile than GA and Aquaman, I think we've seen that it's more about where a book/character is going, as opposed to where they have been. Aquaman is currently hot territory. Is the seller on the mother of all fishing trips, hoping to cast off of Roy's sale, absolutely.
