This Cap 1 (the 4.0) has been up for sale at Clink for quite a while with the high bid being 100K. Then somehow it was sold on the other site for 122.5K (while still remaining on Clink)...but now it's immediately back on Clink at auction for current price of 95K with three remaining days and no reserve. My question is, did it actually sell for 122.5 or is the seller just moving it across sites? Or did someone buy it and immediately put it back up for sale hoping to get their $ back and putting the reserve at that amount (or slightly higher to mitigate the buyer premium)? This just seems odd to me because I've seen that same book on Clink for a long time at the fixed price (I think the outright asking price was like 180K but the highest offer was 100K without being accepted by the consigner). If it didn't get any higher offers than 100K on Clink after such a long while, what is the method to the madness is what I'm asking... Thoughts?

Sensei Ryan Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Either way (without quoting my last post directly above), we'll find out what this bad boy sells for tonight! The reserve has been met so we shall see what happens in the next 12 hours and 5 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictions? Up to 100K with just under 4 hours left. I'm going to guess it will close for 115K-130K. If it's closer to the former than the latter, someone will be getting a great bargain. 2.5 just sold for 86K recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I’ll repost here from the Cap 1/Bat 1 thread: I suspect the mice chew had a big affect on final price as well as this copy bouncing around without a permanent home leaving a friend to several dealers and auctions after. It was in a 3.5 holder for years. I can’t see the bump to a 4.0 with all the chew through the entire book. $135k+ would have kept it in price point line with the 2.5 that just sold for $86k. I think this selling for 3.0 money is perhaps on point. GreatCaesarsGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Called this on the nose about two weeks ago... GreatCaesarsGhost, BladeTX and LDarkseid1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chew pattern makes me think it could be from the "rat-a-tat" pedigree. Story has it a kitchen rat loved the way comics tasted but he also loved the art and story so he would only chew in the margins.

Jaydogrules Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 That rat chewed "4.0" did not have the best colors or eye appeal and appears to have sold for a 3.0 price, which is what it was originally graded at, if I'm not mistaken. Or at least, that's the highest grade I would give that. This will be confirmed if/when the current 3.5 at auction sells for more... -J.

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 copy is now up to 63K. In my opinion, it’s nicer than the 4.0 that just sold with the chew. I suspect that seeing so many copies hit the market so far this year impacted the realized price for the 4.0, but these books are no less spectacular. I would not be surprised to see this close for 100K+ and top the 4.0. Edited July 4, 2020 by Wayne-Tec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
