And for a cool 3/4 of a mil...

That flip didn't work. $750K is down $60K from the $810K paid the for same book, presumably by this seller, less than a year ago.  

Reminiscent of the flipper who got only $1.5M for the All-Star 8 in January of this year which had been purchased a year and half earlier in June 2022 $1.62M.

People who have that kind of money for funny books aren't too smart sometimes...

On the short list of my very favorite comics. And given all the down results so far I think $19,200 is a pretty respectable number for that book.

Cover to cover it is ridiculously cool. Even the back cover is extreme.

If you were trying to post the result of Wonder Woman #2 you accidentally posted Sensation #1 by mistake.

Didn't know this one. The only good Hitler cover that I saw so far.

It's an awesome cover! I read in the last year or two that the cover is by Reed Crandall -- I never knew that but I can totally see it. The cool lighting/shading on the Devil's face at that very distinctive angle looks straight out of one of his classic EC stories.

It's a different style but this one is not bad either if you haven't seen it:

Wow super comprehensive thanks for sharing the link and ouch!!!

Holy cow.

some dudes have taken a serious haircut.

But they pale in comparison to whoever flipped the 9.8 TOS 39 in this auction.  A $1.2m loss!

Sad story. Reminds me of the guy who bought and sold the Flash Comics MH run.

The Haunted Thrills #6 in CGC 9.2 ow-wh hammers at $50.4 k!     
I'm pretty sure the market value of my good friend's gorgeous snow-white-paged Spokane copy just took a big jump.

Spokane!

It's certainly a sought after cover but, were it to come up for auction, it's hard to predict the price without knowing how high the third highest bidder was willing to go.

Yep that was one of the big surprises. 25k, 30 maybe. But 50k,  gee whiz.

Appropriate cover, what with the dice roll and all.

Tempted to sell it for somewhere near that price.
