All due respect to buyer and seller, this just baffles me.  Can't get my head around assigning that value to just a cover.

I would suspect the buyer has a coverless copy that this purchase would marry well too.

Heritage January 11-14 auction got some huge hitters!

ASM 1 9.8 Curator Pedigree.  I'm not sure if pedigree grade is counted as universal, but the census shows only 2 in 9.8.  Highest grade, this should hit over a mil. 

Showcase 4 9.6 Highest grade, 1 in 9.6.  That should hit a million, I would think.  Last sale was $179k in 2009.  

Superman 1 7.0, 3rd highest grade.  That's a $2 million book.  

All star comics 8 in 9.4.  1 in 9.4, highest grade. Last sale was $1.6 million, last year 2022.  Interested to see if this goes down in price.

I'm surprised the "turtles" did so well, I thought it might drop.

I thinking it'll perform like a lot of the big books, with regular peaks and troughs on prices.   $132k is a long way off from the high of $250K (shrug)

Ya I thought the last was $120k, so I actually thought it had improved,  until in the tmnt thread I saw the last was $150k. It actually didn't do too bad. :)

Wow, so we're looking at a $30k spread at the moment, so depending on which way the wind blows on a particular auction, you might save yourself the price of a moderately nice small car.

I think at this level, bidders are working with larger margins of error, so to speak.

Here are the actual last results just before this was 131k @Microchip

I went and checked the TMNT thread and I misquoted, the spike was $250 k not 150k

Seems like a good place to post this screen shot from an email I just received.

image.thumb.png.42beb1000787fc2d797d51c87e9b8ca2.png

I've never gotten an email like this before, so obviously it's a big deal (or an April Fools joke!) ... whatever they're teasing would presumably hit the 6-figure mark, and I would guess the 7-figure mark.  Given all the big-ticket items Heritage sells all the time, I wonder what would justify a special email like this ... I think it would have to be an Action 1, or maybe a Detective 27 or Marvel Comics 1.  Or, if we allow our imaginations to extend beyond comics to original art, I suppose it could be some piece everyone thought didn't exist any more.

Take your guesses here!
