In fact, most sales across the board are lower than 2018 averages. You liar! I just missed out on a pretty 8.5.... it sold at an LCS for $ 800.... lasted about a month. It was a pretty 8.5 though. I think all keys hibernate from time to time. That book changed the face of the market in it's day.

No. but I guess it was worth it to the person who paid that much! Jeez...unbelievable price for that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmeta Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Try finding the Marvel Doc Savage the Man of Bronze #2 in 9.8? I've been looking for one for years. No luck! Sure most Bronze books are plentiful but some in very very high grade are not common at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've collected for 30+ years and I know the standards of rarity have been changed a lot. I remember reading in Overstreet about 15 years ago that Spider-man 50 and lower were relatively hard to find in NM and therefore a good investment. Luckily I followed that advice and found some beauties but I largely ignored early spidey bronze opting for Batman instead. I just looked at the census 119 in NM with 112 higher. 3661 total submissions. To me that seems low. Any advice would be great For me a book isn't "rare" unless it rally comes up for sale. 101 VF+ is HTF in high grade but I personally do not think of it as rare. It's price ballooned when the movie was green lit. I expect it to come down like IM55 has and continues to do. I hope at least as I still need to get one.

Which means a ton of subs coming up. Nothing like a GPA spike to bring out the raw 9.8’s jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't collect BA anymore but I wanted to put together a .8 run of Ragmans. #3 always eluded me and still no 9.8s. I subbed a few candidates and closest I got was 9.4. Agree, not much incentive to sub these but even HG raws is tough like you say on some BA books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two teensy stress lines on the spine keep it from a 9.8, but it's got sweet cover registration and the snow white cover stock and interior pages common to the Suscha News pedigree. musicmeta and PeterPark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as great as I feel his Cap covers are, the CotL 21 and 22 may be my favorites. HighVoltage, drbanner, musicmeta and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth sending into me to try to get a 9.6 since I hardly paid anything for my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 MS 32 is finally starting to really pop. I've had one of my CGC 9.6s up for sale for $499 for the last few months and would have let it go for $450 but offers never crossed $400 with most in the $350 range. New rumors this week have everyone clammering for high grade copies and the supply is disappearing. Now the $400 offers come in droves since the last sale was for $550. Said heck with it and just put it up for auction so we can see what the new market price is for this gem. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
