CycleGirl Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Everyone! I haven't really been active in collecting (mostly busy playing and coaching tennis these days), but I did place bids in Scott Ireland's Comiclink auction. There were too many good books to ignore. However, I was shocked! I bid on 5 books, the #8, 9, 30, 60, and 66 and I didn't win ANY! My bids were not that low either. Two questions for all of you.... What did you guys win? Did anyone happen to note if the sale prices were particularly high? They seemed fairly good on most of the books that I bid on. That is, generally at GPA or higher.

Rhonda Hi Rhonda!!, Glad to see you back. The only book I won was the #39 though I did bid on the 41 and 44. I think Scott did pretty well. Some of those prices were amazing. I know i didn't do half as well when I sold some of my undercopies (same grade or higher) of the same issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycleGirl Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 i got crushed on the x-men #79 9.2...went for $600 Sorry that you didn't win the book that you wanted, beancurd. I'm really shocked! I mean, when I saw that Scottie was selling off everything all in one day, I was thinking that he would saturate the market. I estimate that the #2 through #66 total sale was $35k to $40k total. (very rough, assumes an average of about $600 each) I thought that the relatively few collectors that could afford books of those grades would not be able or willing to bid on more than a few and that this would limit bidding on some books. I was wrong! In a way, I'm happy that there is so much demand and available cash for high-grade X-Men books. Perhaps the X-Men title is doing better than I realized. I need to get working on that price index study. It's so overdue. Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda From the ones I was bidding on, it looks like the silver and bronze age ones went for pretty good prices, while the copper were average or below average except the keys and rare ones.

The other two went for more than I was willing to pay as well. How much did the 296 go for? I had no clue the 294 would go even close to that mark. I predicted 200-250 and 150-175 for the 296.

DrWatson Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 296 - 175 262 - 161 That 262 will take a serious tumble, if folks would just get it slabbed. There is no reason for it to be scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
