Don't see many of those "brand new moderns" in that list. So we are still close to 5 : 1 when you look at the sub-$50 and over-$500 categories.

Someone really wanted those Rex the Wonder Dog's.

The percentage breakdown would look like this: Under $100 57% $100 to $199 21% $200 to $299 8% $300 to $399 4% $400 to $499 2% Over $500 7%

Then I can't find it either. All that shows for that title is that 4.5 and an 8.5 that went for $3,050. Maybe you are right and the item was pulled?

Sure it was a 4.0 and not a 4.5? http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fcgc.asp%3F_SORT%3DYES%26Graded%3D%26ODire2%3DASC%26f1%3Di.Title%26ODire1%3DASC%26f2%3Di.IssueNumber%2C%2Bi.VolumeNumber%26f3%3DLeft%28i.Condition%2C4%29%26ODire3%3DASC%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26pg%3D130&id=1272346 The 4.5 ended at $772. -bc

Knowing some of the other data that vailantman has supplied about submissions per age of books, my guess would be that the sub-$100 slabs are at least at a 5 to 1 ratio compared to the over-$500 slabs. I agree, when you put it all together, it is really frightening.

I have to keep reminding myself that he is using a 4 year sample set. Sort of surprised the totals are that low seeing that a single HA auction could push $5+ million. If it is over a 4 year sample set, those metrics show about 10K slabbed books sold at $2 million per month on the 'bay. That's about 333 slabs sold at a price of $66,666 per day with an average sale price of $200 a slab. Not bad chump change for them when you think about their fees.

Completed both of mine: 1. completed a Pre-Hero Marvel set this year that I started in 2009 and did a small handful of upgrades 2. made it past 1000 posts

Think you took this the wrong way. Clink is still sending "Outbid" email notifications but have ceased to send the "Confirmation Bid" email notifications. So I think you get what you and lizards wanted. Too many "outs" and "bids" in one sentence! -bc

So sell your $50K+ books in August and the rest in November.

That's a mighty big loss!

Last GPA for this issue in 9.8 is..... $3,150

Was it you who just bumped it up to $22k?

Another one for ya: the Thor 165 CGC 9.8 in this Fall's CLink auction is already over $20K and the auction started last night! http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FDEFAULT.ASP%3F_SORT%3DYES%26Focused%3D1%26ItemType%3D0%26f1%3Da.MaxBid%26ODire1%3DDESC%26f2%3Di.Title%2C%2Bi.IssueNumber%26ODire2%3DASC%26f3%3Da.MaxBid%26ODire3%3DDESC%23Item_1290593&id=1290593&itemType=0

@TheWatcher noticed this and its happening to me as well....did you guys get any email notifications about the tracking Bids you placed in this auction ? He & I have not - we are only getting the Outbid notification emails. Typically you get an email confirming your Bid as well as an email when you have been outbid and one if you win the lot. Anyone else not getting their Bid email notifications? -bc
