Bomber-Bob Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 In my collection for 10 years but I just had it CGC slabbed. Just found out it is an 8.5 with White pages. Tough book in census with only one 9.6, one 9.4, zero 9.2, and eight 9.0's = only 10 higher than an 8.5 . It's interesting but with Marvels I desire the uber grades, but with DC, I am very happy with a respectable grade like this 8.5 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Cool sharp copy! And you just keep being happy without the uber DCs; I thank you, and my wallet thanx you. Ok, one more for today( I know it's not Silver, but it gets a pass for being a JSA crossover AND including the LOSH as well) ha ha Supes is getting hammered from both sides: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing of it is with few exceptions there are plenty of 9.4s of most Marvel books. Even on AF15 there are 6 9.4 copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 All righty then!! Let's shoot straight to the "WTFs" from the Clink auction: #9 --- 9.2 B $700? The lowest ever for this grade. The grease pencil date hurts that much? #20 -- 9.4 C $164? For a qualified detached staple? PC, I am humbled #41 -- 9.6 A $926? Almost 50% increase in 2 years (a 9.8 exists)? Again PC, #48 -- 9.4 B $391? Am I ever gonna get one (9-9.4s)...without having to leapfrog the GPA high? #64 -- 9.6 A $661? For crying out loud, Tim! There are 4-9.6s & 2-9.8s!! PC is truly King #71 -- 9.4 B $161 vs #72 --9.4B $331? Really? Kubert demands that much respect? #78 -- 9.4 A $312? Anyone want my 9.6 for $600? Free shipping! #80 -- 9.6 B $365? Over 2x GPA's high from last year...with a mis-wrap? #84 -- 9.8 A $655? There are no words... #94 -- 9.4 B $190? Last GPA sale below $300...Mar 2007! Hello, Neal Adams? Clearly out of the Silver era now, but Adams' 9.6 issues of #96/97 enjoyed healthy 100% increases. And the squarebounds just went nuts ($430-605...except for #113?). Not hating on anyone's amounts; just trying to make sense of this all, put it into perspective. What did I learn? All the research in the world don't mean squat. My head hurts. Any one else dumb-founded? At least my set went up a couple grand (for now). Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick put me down for dumbfounded. the #96 and #97 left me scratching my head as well, but i didn't bother to check the census or GPA on those since i already owned copies.

tth2 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 #41 -- 9.6 A $926? Almost 50% increase in 2 years (a 9.8 exists)? Again PC, This one amazed me. Yeah, it`s an old label, PC, and white pages, but damn! #41 is one of those books, along with #18 and #28 where there seems to be a 9.6 copy for sale every other month. #64 -- 9.6 A $661? For crying out loud, Tim! There are 4-9.6s & 2-9.8s!! PC is truly King I haven`t bought a JLA later than the 40s in 6 or 7 years. So, what did ya win?

JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Uh, let's just say I have plenty of $$$ for the next auction. The #48 & #64 got away from me -way away from me- and the ones I did get are later issues. Surprised you haven't considered getting a PC run of JLAs, Tim.

tth2 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Surprised you haven't considered getting a PC run of JLAs, Tim. I had a bunch and sold them, remember? The PC run doesn't go all the way back to #1, and it would've been too painful to get the issues in the teens because they were still owned by RR , and life is just too short to put myself through that kind of distasteful experience.

kimik Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 So, how did the Mound City prices on the JLAs stack up? I am not a JLA collector, but I am curious to see how the DCs are doing across the board in this auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thanks, Tim. So, outside of a couple of books the prices were not that hot. I guess the GL run was the big one for higher prices as far as the superhero DCs were concerned then. The prices on some of the early SA Flash issues looked decent as well.

I guess the GL run was the big one for higher prices as far as the superhero DCs were concerned then. The prices on some of the early SA Flash issues looked decent as well. Ryan, I should point out it's all a bit relative. For instance, the #6 went for over 10X Guide, so it's not like it went for peanuts. But compared to what the 9.4 copy went for, it seems disappointing. On the other hand, in seeing the scans (including the raw scans), it should never have been a 9.6 in the first place, and maybe not even a 9.4, so by that token it went for a very strong price. The various estimates I heard from other collectors based on the raw scan, before it came back from CGC, were mostly 9.0 with 9.2 as the absolute highest.

Most of us felt the same way about the "8.0" Showcase #22 and it did not generate a mind blowing price either. There were imPRESSive prices on the "upgradeable" books, but I guess if a book looked soft the dealers/knowledgeable bidders present did not chase it.

I guess the GL run was the big one for higher prices as far as the superhero DCs were concerned then. The prices on some of the early SA Flash issues looked decent as well. the price for the #9 was in line w/ the last sale and it wasn't a great 9.4 (from my vantage point), so that price wasn't suprising. i overlooked the #18, i would have been a couple of clicks higher than the hammer on that book. the #13 clearly looked like a steal, the #14, #16 and #28 were surprisingly strong. as mentioned, the #6 was pretty hefty for what certainly looked like an overgraded book.
