I think some of the buyers for this material are not typically comic collectors, so its hard to say if they will see it with the same eyes.

Does anyone know? I have a Life 1 in very high grade as well as the leather slipcase it came with in 1937. Best offer over 49K accepted. I'll sit back and wait for the flurry of PMs I'm about to get.

Bronty Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 fun mag. I don't collect the mags but I always found them fun to flip through. Are you trying for a set? I can't say I have the mags but I have the OA for a couple covers and a couple of the pull out posters and such.

This is the cover for issue 60 here: You didn't tag nor quote but I thought about collecting issues #1-20 and the last issue. what annoys me? Is that I started driving my brother to midnight releases at gamestop back in 2011 when the last issue was on the stands. I was told about cgc then, but it took until 2014 for me to take interest AND I said oh wow that is the "last issue?" and I still didn't pick it up. I bought #1 back in 2016 when I first thought seriously about cgc, joined the registry in2015 though trying to sort it all out Idk what to look for and it wasn't a sample copy, it's my regular #1 that came back 3.0 cgc.

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I kind of expected more, based on past sales in this thread, I mean right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a downward trend. The 9.4 and 9.8 preceding this sold for way, way too much. Even 25k on a 9.6 IMO is still too much and needs to correct downward to something more like 15k. Let's remember, yes most copies are low grade, only a very small percentage stayed high grade but..... 3 million printed. 3 million. And in 1988, not 1938. There are more hg copies in the pipeline.

I expected "less", I just wasn't sure if this was the amount I thought of, I thought more toward 30k. The rest I'm well aware of, and it does seem a bit silly when a 5.0 sold yesterday at $300+ what a day to end an auction, Tuesday in the afternoon. The reason I bring this up, is as you said rare in high grade? It will be harder to "notice trends" unless more come to market and I hope would hurry along, but will probably take years and years Established trends is still probably to early?

There were 4-5 additional hg copies added to the census just between when the 9.8 sold and when the 9.6 sold. These prices aren't going to hold up. Realistically, a big buyer got their copy with the 9.8 and there isn't the depth of demand at these levels to keep the other grades propped up.

But interesting as I didn't care too much other than eBay sold, when expecting $500+ for a 5.0, but noticed the gocollect post so glad I asked.

Bronty Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 "Poster inside" IIRC. FYI, after the 9.8 sale, the 9.6 hit the block along with a 9.0. There are already another two listed: a 9.2 and a 9.0. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a 9.4 sold on HA around 20-25k a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I couldn't tell you. This is why I ignore ebay on higher end sales. Its just hard to know if you can trust the data point. Generally speaking though, I call BS on the top sales - zero feedback sellers.
