Iceman399 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Seems like a regular price for the grade. Not top GPA (as this copy doesn't deserve it from the tanning, pq, presentation) and right in the middle of the 2016 prices. Don't see any drop off from pricing.

Would prove that a lot of key books have no impact on movies whatsoever. I put this book with Avengers 1 - great book with great characters but not 1 single 1st appearance of any character - just 1st appearances of 2 super groups. I think today, much of the market is driven by 1st appearances of characters and less so by groups (GS XMEN 1 has both so that's another story).

Dark Knight Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 That is true. I guess this is why X-Men 1 and FF 1 has leaped over in value from those two aforementioned books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA Brad Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 With both Heritage and Comiclink both offering up a 9.0 of this book either currently (HA) or within a week and a half (CL), I would tend to think that people think this is the time to feed off of the movie hype. However, it is unfortunate that both are up for auction at roughly the same time - this will keep the prices down on both. We've already seen that the book in 9.0 couldn't top the reserve on Pedigree's auction (what was it? $80K or so?). Seems like everything is in place for the auctions for both HA and CL to underwhelm and a couple of people can probably secure a copy in 9.0 at what is going to be a pretty good bargain if held for a few more years (maybe even less). I'm certainly glad I'm not selling mine right now - seems like a buyer's market for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reference to the Pedigree 9.0, Doug paid a really aggressive price for it and had to put it in auction with a reserve. While it's a nice copy, I just don't think it is a strong 9.0 . I think the 80+K bid was a good offer, a fair price for this book. Now, he's moved it to Heritage. We'll see what happens. I wouldn't judge the marketplace on this specific book.

You'd have to figure that the Comiclink copy will impact the price somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will go that high. Because it's Heritage, with a deep pocket clientele, it may hit 100K . The trouble is if it doesn't hit 100K now, with the movie excitement, it may never hit it.

JLA Brad Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I figured that other B&B 28 9.0 on comiclink was going to be a factor. I guess Doug would've fared better without the reserve on his own site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddieMercede Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This book is not rare enough to demand 6 figures as a 9.0 - not surprised at the result and think the price may drop further in the future. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The 9.0 on Comiclink is doing well. 65K with over 8 days left. It really is a good looking copy, very fresh looking, nice page quality, strong cover colors. Very deserving of a 9.0 . SC22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to agree - when you compare it to the one from Heritage, it appears to have many less flaws. The question is if it will hammer higher than the last one based on its better appearance.

SC22 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Any chance that BB28 is a book right now that is simply more in demand in say 8.0 and lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly, I don't know if it is really in THAT much demand. It feels like people think it should be in demand, that it should be worth more, but it isn't?

First off, let's face it, Marvel has a much more fanatical base of fans. Also, the book does not have any first appearances. It's analogous to Avengers #1, which never really took off either. It's still a cool book to have. PKJ and SC22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I've had a few copies over the years, and realy enjoy owning one, however, not having Superman and Batman on the cover doesn't help the book. SC22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The price for this book will move if the lone 9.6 ever sells. Asking price for that one is currently at $900K IIRC. SC22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely unrealistic - a lone 9.8 wouldn't even come close to commanding that. It's not Marvel...or the first Superman or Batman - expectations need to be tempered.
