9.8 TOS is not hype...its for real....amazing book along with DD1

Never said it wasn't. Was referring to all those aggressive under bidders that disappeared when some of those Promise books were relisted.

Disappeared? Or came to their senses!  They dodged a bullet and became a bit more aware of the dangers of chasing highest graded copies.

who owns the 9.0s?  Metropolis?  wow!

Here's a link to ComicConnect and the details of the Action #1 CGC 9.0 that Metropolis won on eBay for 3.2 Million. I'm looking for the other 9.0 sale details. I remember seeing a picture of Vincent Z. holding two CGC 9.0's in his hands.

While I have no insight as to what the final sale prices will be for any of these SA keys, based on prior experience with Heritage Signature auctions expect the final prices to be bid up during the live auction portion, some by a lot.

a buncha likely-pressed pos books; only fools would bid on them, any of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's called a joke.

[Frisco Larson]

It might take Tony Stark's bank account to get that TOS 39, 'cause that's some heavy bread man!!! Killer book though and sitting alone at the top of the census, it SHOULD be worth huge dough!!!

Eh, a private deal made by Comiclink.  Who knows if there was trade involved and what it really changed hands for?

 

[BA773]

Good the JLA have just broke the wall!

let me have my Schadenfreude, dadgummit

[Mmehdy]

What a disaster for the TOS 39 seller...it sold for 840K and HA does not sell it for free....1.2 M loss at least...trade or cash or whatever......I would say this just using the same auction I could get Cap 1 9.2, Dect 27 3.0, Bat 1, Avengers 1 etc.....wow

Perfectly aligned cover and white pages.

That's why I had to have it.  

[Dark Knight]

A dealer at last year's SDCC sold a DD #1 CGC 9.8 for something like $800k. Whoever paid that price took a bath too big time!

Buyers may be more aware than they have been that highest graded means more in GA than SA.

Of course there can never be 100% certainty, even with Golden Age books.

But if this was a 9.8 Action 1 people would feel pretty confident it is likely to remain the highest graded copy.

If people felt the same level of confidence about the future and ongoing uniqueness of a 9.8 TOS 39, then $2 million might seem more reasonable or even a bargain.

Doesn't matter, as that was the publicly announced price and as such, it makes for a terrible narrative for the market.
