Also, when I ask for quality thread-crapping the emphasis is on "QUALITY" - not selective screen grabs. A 2.5 sold recently for $215,000 Further up on your GPA screen a 6.0 sold for $552,000 I would think a 4.0 with nice paper and eye appeal should sit somewhere around $400,000.

We do semi-annual sales in the store where we offer 25% off. A slabbed Batman #1 would not be part of those sales.

First time thread-crapper here, still in the development stage. HA sold a beautiful 4.0 for $117k May 5th 2020, but I see a 2.5 @ $270k March 16th 2022 also. Prices aren’t exactly steady these days. I was asking $250k for my ASM 1 CGC 9.2 & have dropped to $200k. I didn’t realize you would take it so seriously when you have others suggesting 400 boardies @ $10k, then respond offering a private dance thrown in. I also thought it might be a practical arrangement that might even be worth considering, but I apologize if you took offence to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you 20 cents which is twice what it cost new. That copy looks pretty used to me.

I was just making a point about the selective use of GPA to justify a position. It is a pretty common practice around here.

I have never experienced the unbridled delirium of willfully choosing a Spider-Man #1 over a Batman #1.

ASM 1 sales seemed to be more stable in comparison. I tend to invest in Marvel over DC, but should have grabbed that book the moment I saw it.

In the interest of full transparency I was half owner of that 4.0 with Bob. It went very quickly for $195 in a cash/trade deal and we both shortly regretted letting it go for that when another copy in the same grade sold for about $50K more within six weeks or so. I too usually prefer Marvel keys for inventory but Batman 1 and other Batman key issues are a little different. I have been dealing comics for over forty years and Batman books have never been slow. And that 4.0 looked nowhere near as nice as this one. Edited March 25, 2023 by MrBedrock LDarkseid1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 What's the going rate on black-market organs? I can spare a lung, a kidney and half a liver. I would go with more but i think my wife needs all the rest to keep living and while there are many things i can do to get on her bad side, killing her and harvesting her organs is pretty close to the top, just above not closing cabinet doors and just under not responding when spoken to BlowUpTheMoon, silverseeker, alexgross.com and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too usually prefer Marvel keys for inventory but Batman 1 and other Batman key issues are a little different. I have been dealing comics for over forty years and Batman books have never been slow. And that 4.0 looked nowhere near as nice as this one. I like the cover but was always a bit indifferent to owning a Batman #1. It never seemed like a hard book to find as golden age goes. Tec #27 was waaay harder to find decent and Supes #1 too. Again we are talking “as golden age goes” which often exists on a different world when comparing to silver age books. I hate using CGC as any type of marker with existing copies but last time I checked there were still under 50 copies for Tec #27, Batman #1 was around 150 and Spider-Man #1 was in the thousands. There’s probably more existing Spider-Man #1’s in 9.0+ than all the Tec #27’s on census. I have no idea how many SA keys like that I’ve owned over the years but most GA keys I have an exact or close range to those I’ve held. Both characters are super popular so rarity establishes a lot of the market between those 2 books. Quest any GA key vs SA key and see how long it takes to find copies. Bedrock is very transparent too… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
