I agree - now that Daredevil is finally reaching its peak value I really feel this is the next breakout book along with TTA 27. just picked up a mid grade TTA 27 otherwise would have been all over that ST 110 WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying random non key slabs... I suppose the scarcity drove it? Two people just really wanted it, and that happens sometimes in auctions? I'm not taking too much away from this particular sale.

jimjum12 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 There are collectors who pursue nothing but the best available copy and assemble runs. There are a few of them who probably make 40K a day and there are more than 4 collectors who are at that level, so the math is simple when we know that. It's another world from the one I live in, but it's sales like this that validate our hobby.

I guarantee you that's not their budget for the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Math Teacher Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 I actually felt a little queasy when I purchased my AF #15 CGC for $15,700, but that turned out just fine.. I literally cannot imagine myself spending $30,000+ on a comic book. That's close to 5% of our life savings. I would rather use this money so my wife and I can go on some nice trips, such as an African safari trip for approximately $20,000 for the both of us. Having a high-grade copy of a book would be nice, but the memories of an African safari would last a lifetime. Well, at least until senility, dementia, or Alzheimer's disease happens. jimjum12, KCOComics, KirbyJack and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered throwing a tracking bid down on this book, but the piece missing at the lower left corner of the front cover turned me off...I wonder if that may have impacted some other bidders as well? I'd rather have a copy with more spine stress and wear than a copy with a piece missing, but I don't know how many other people feel this way...
