This 7.0 is up for auction, is this a worthy 7.0? I'm asking because I'm a noob when it comes to AF 15's, thanks!

 

 

 

 

gotta get grader's notes to answer that question. it's not intelligent to look at front cover only to gauge a proper grade.  but heck, it seems like that's what collecting is coming to these days anyways:

1. look at front cover entombed in plastic. 

2. Grade comic.

Here you go:

 

Light crease front cover breaks color
small staple tear top of spine
very small tear left bottom of front cover

Grader's notes are not exhaustive and they are not really meant for the general public.

well Hell then, I guess just look at the cover anymore

A plethora of AF 15 copies in the CL Signature auction. Would be interesting to see the hammer prices on those.

Any thoughts on this copy here that just sold for $144,000 in the Heritage Auction:

[NoMan]

and thoughts on the 7.0 that went for 114K? For a while it was ahead of the 7.5 $-wise because (I believe) it had a nicer cover and that's what is important in today's entombed-comic-post-it-on-facebook/instagram days!

There's an 8.0 coming up on CL or CC, also.   Man are there a lot high grade of AF15s out there.

Wish I could help. But the recent 7.0-up sales are all more than either of my first 2 homes cost.  

4 figure sales, I can probably provide some insight.  Maybe even on the (very) low 5-figure books.  

Anything that sold for more than I bought my cars for...I can’t swim in that pond, unfortunately.

Not buying now I’m in $ saving mode now so I don’t have my GPA anymore or I’d look. Not sure GPA in these kinda big books reveals

What is there to analyze?

They're right in the range of where they roughly have been ($95-125K for a 7.0 and $150ish for a 7.5), although these are exceptional looking copies so they are on the high side of the range (although I did get $175K for a 7.5 last fall )

Book seems to be holding it's own.

GPA is mostly good but can be misleading.

For example, I've sold two CGC 5.0 copies at WAAAAY over GPA in the last 6 months because GPA has two sales at $33K and $35K but those copies were both badly chipped and so not entirely relevant to unchipped copies.

So you do need to do more than just look at the raw numbers to have a real picture.

ComicLink listed this copy around the same day you started your last sale thread for a 5.0 with a way lower BIN price than yours. Sale as you know won't go to GPA.

From just looking at this front cover which is never a sure thing, there's probably a good reason why it was priced with a lower BIN relative to its assigned grade.  

Makes me wonder if somebody forgot to take their glasses to work that day.  Especially when compared to some of the mid-grade GA books that I have seen being graded recently.  

[Gotham Kid]

Slightly faded ( but that could be the scanner ) but grade looks about right.

[SECollector]

Not a hint of marvel chipping either. Nice copy.
