For anyone that knows anything about foxing..... will the foxing on this comic keep getting worse, or will it abate?

 

I was always under the impression that foxing was a consequence of humidity so I think whether the foxing continues or abates may depend upon the temperature of future storage

 

That said, maybe somebody with a bit more knowledge can school us because I am not 100% an expert on this subject

 

Good question

If you look at GPA, even though most of the data is old, this price is still consistent with prior sales. Where it winds up will likely be a different story.

I looked through HA archives, not GPA

 

Thanks for this info

Does GPA provide the identity of the seller or platform source where it sold ?

 

It doesn't.

 

A copy of Superman #1, certified VG 4.0 Off-white pages by CGC, was sold for $295,000 this January in a private treaty transaction brokered by Heritage. Both the seller and the buyer were private collectors who chose to remain anonymous. The sale was arranged via Heritage's New York showroom.

 

Congratulations to the buyer on his new acquisition!

As long as you classify "hold" as no more than minute. Of course there are the folks that drop ship their most recently acquired "Grail" to the next owner.

I had bought it for inventory, so I had no desire/intention to hold onto it ;)

 

If I had of held onto it for another year, I would have doubled my return :o

You're a dealer. That's understandable. I was actually referring to the collector that bought it from you.

I currently have this copy, and I struggle with holding or selling, given the current prices, and lack of higher, or even any copies, unrestored.

 

I sold a 3.5 couple years ago, and of course watched as the value keeps skyrocketing to the outer limits, (shrug)

without giving away too much, the "collector" that bought from me is a dealer as well...
