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 🤯. I know...it sold for I believe $11,900... should have kept it, but I had another copy and figured, that it was still good since I had another.

First of all, your page doesn’t even look trimmed to begin with. Second, it would seem to me that ALL single pages had to have been trimmed one way or another in the process of removal from the book. Isn’t any cutting of paper considered trimming? Totally agree with you in terms of CGC's apparent inconsistency here with regards to Trimming for individual single pages. Especially when the trim on the Universal Batman 1 page cuts right into the storyline and the word ballons, whereas the soc-called Trimmed Cap 1 page does not. Then again, maybe it's just due to a change in CGC's policy in the interim, as the Cap page was graded in September 2019 while the Batman page was graded in December 2019.

Wayne-Tec Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Cap #1 CGC 4.0 on Comic Link: LINK With a 0.5 missing 4 wraps going for $39,500 and a 2.5 going for $86,000 you’ve got to think this will easily eclipse $100,000.

Sensei Ryan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I think the highest offer that 4.0 received when it was not up for auction was 100-101K and it wasn't accepted. I'm agreeing with you that based on recent sales it should go higher, but I'm going to vote that it stays right around 100K and that's if it breaks the reserve (and whatever that is set at, who knows).

LDarkseid1 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Here's a moderately restored lower grade copy going in C-link's summer featured auction. Where would a copy like this finish? Over $30K, $40K? https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2020aug%23Item_1410943&id=1410943&itemType=0 Sensei Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like consignors are trying to tread carefully here by starting to put Reserves on some of their books in this current environment, as I also notice the same thing with the CGC 9.8 graded copy of TMNT #1 which is another high dollar value book.

It’s flip-flopped over the years. I suspect Marvel #1 would be the choice for many collectors, understandably so. Birth of the DC Universe vs. Birth of the Marvel Universe. But in the long-run, I do think it will go back to Cap #1, if it hasn’t already. LDarkseid1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatCaesarsGhost Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Probably. For now, maybe for always. But so far not for its characters so much as the beginning of the Marvel world. I think Cap holds greater appeal to a broader spectrum of people, but Marvel Comics 1 is the beginning of a dynasty HEY @Wayne-Tec, you musta hit the enter key a nanosecond before me Edited June 26, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Wayne-Tec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular character won out, and AF #15, for as immortal as it is, doesn’t have the historical historical significance of Cap #1. Cap #1 has (or will eventually again) surpass Marvel #1 with greater ease than Tec #27 will over Action #1–but that too will come, I suspect, in the future.
