And a thanks to one of our members for giving us a helping hand with these.. Welcome to the club! Those pages look really sharp as far as loose pages go. The splash page is one of the best and The Hurricane story has some really cool background to it. Jack Kirby’s 1st Timely work was on a character named “Mercury” in Red Raven Comics #1. That character, illustrated pretty much the same way, facing the same villain, was re-branded as “The Hurricane” in Cap #1 (his 2nd appearance). The Hurricane was “the son of Thor” and I’m pretty sure Cap #1 has the 1st mention of Thor “God of Thunder” on the splash page to The Hurricane story. So you’ve got quite the combo there.

Dark Knight Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think the results for most of the golden age books that sold on CL was pretty solid. Many think that CL only generates good SA and BA results and lower for GA books compared to the other two big venues, but this time I thought the consignors did well from the ones I was tracking.

Wayne-Tec Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Cap #1 CGC Universal 3.5 with OW-W pages is coming to Heritage Auctions. LINK 0.5 Universal missing 4 center wraps sold for $39,500 in March. 2.5 Universal sold for $86,000 last week. What are your predictions for this one?

This book was sitting on the heritage exchange with a BIN price of $110 k until it disappeared a few days ago. I thought $110k was an extremely reasonable price, given what the 2.5 did. I actually looked into it enough to see that Heritage doesn’t force the buyer to pay a fee the way they do at auction. Also, I bought the grader notes. But then it disappeared before I was done with the math. I had predicted $90 k for the 2.5. Very close. I don’t think we are anywhere near understanding the effects of the Covid quarantine on our hobby, and why don’t we throw a little social unrest in there on top for good measure. Predictions. Every one has got one. For this 3.5, I predict $120k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I can’t help but wonder if seeing 2 low grade Cap #1’s sold since March will lead to a break for this one? It shouldn’t. I’ve never been a fan of perception-based rarity. And this 3.5 is a really, really nice looking 3.5. If a 0.5 was $39,500 and a 2.5 was $86,000, this 3.5 should be a $120,000-$150,000 book. It presents really well for the assigned grade. But who knows? GreatCaesarsGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 In the 2019 guide description of Captain America Comics #1, it includes a note that reads: into of the "Capt. America Sentinels of Liberty Club" (advertised on inside front-c.) I don't see any mention of it at all on the inside of the front cover. Am I missing something here?

It’s been in error for many years. The club membership is mentioned at the end of the first Cap story. I have brought it to Bob’s attention in my past two market reports - sometimes he makes changes (like Cap 2 - 1st round shield) and other times no changes happen.

LDarkseid1 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Anyone notice this 4.0 selling in the current c-link auction? Page quality isn't great, but presents relatively well except for the color being a bit faded. The worst part from what I can tell is a small chunk is missing from the front cover and every page, except the back cover on the top right. Honestly the 3.5 on Heritage appears to have better eye appeal on the front cover, and considerably better page quality. Will be interesting to see what these sell for comparatively. https://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_1410873&id=1410873&itemType=0 Edited June 13, 2020 by LDarkseid1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Interesting. First Heritage took a Cap 1 off their exchange (“make offer to seller”) and put it into their regular auction. And now Clink has done the same. The part I don’t get is that Clink is saying they first sold the book a few days ago for $122k before it came out the other end into their current auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofan Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 This copy on Comilink was my copy...I sold it through Hertage back in 2009 and it was originally a 3.5...now it's a 4.0. I can say that it's a solid book except for the bug chew on the top right. It came from an original owner collection that I picked up in 2001...wish I hadn't sold it...but oh well.

Ain’t that the usual sentiment lol. Always sellers remorse when one of these mega keys was sold 5-10 years or more ago! Crazy how much these can change over time 🤯.
