Bat 1 Larson Copy CC 8.0 How Much?

[AnkurJ]

Wow what a book! Is this the first time the Larson Bats 1 is offered up for auction? I think it will end in the $500k territory.

 

 

 

nOT LIKELY

very likely 400+

 

My dream book. If I could own any book out there, it would be this one. But it is not in the cards unless I hit the lottery

 

Sell your entire collection and I bet you can buy it. I sold a lot of stuff for my Detective 27. Some was hard to let go of, but no regrets.

I would take the Heritage Bat 1 5.5 and save $150K.

[Mmehdy]

407K

[JakeM]

I'll throw my guess in at 355k.

 

Though I'm more interested in the Bat 1 2.0 as that'll give me an idea (though a rough idea) of where our 1.5 stands.

Whats 2.0 FMV these days ...?

[Mr. 10%]

Aint nothin gonna TRUMP that book ....

I'm not aware of any 3% cashback card for that type of purchase. So in general, the 3% vig of using a cc is not worth it, though there are always exceptions.

 

Unless they've changed their policy very recently, ComicConnect charges the credit card vig to the consignor, not the auction winner.

not sure I've used a cc , so you are probably right...

 

but I suspect, like heritage, that cc wouldn't take a cc on a 400K book (doesn't heritage cap at some nominal amount)?

 

One of my frustrations with Heritage, I believe they cap at 2K. You're correct, of course, that someone spending 400K is almost certainly not using a credit card.

 

Another billionaire collector would.

[Sqeggs]

Already at $202K

This slab will exceed all previous cost per point multiples by a wide margin and surprise allot of folks. Should break $510K

[Spiderphill]

I'm no GA dude but just looking at the Larson signature/pedigree. That alone has me amped up.

Current bid = $335K

With 6 days left.

 

Additionally for entertainment purposes:

 

The Bat #1 6.5 slab is bidding $87K with 7 days left

The Bat #1 2.0 slab is bidding $39K with 7 days left

Wow, surprised they would have 3 Batman 1's in the same auction.

 

If I was the consignor of the 6.5 copy, I would not feel too thrilled since there is a chance of being squeezed out in the middle. The investor would most likely shoot for the Larson pedigree copy while the collector just looking for a reasonable entry level copy would most probably shoot for the lower grade 2.0 copy.

 

Hence, with the plethora of choices available here, the 6.5 copy would not be nice enough to satisfy the investor, and yet at the same time be too expensive for the regular collector.

I would think you got 3 totally different bidders from 3 different worlds. The guy bidding on the 8.0 and the guy bidding on the 2.0 don't play in the same sandbox

My predictions

 

Bat 1 8.0 $472K

Bat 1 6.5 $167K

Bat 1 2.0 $53K

 

 

[G.A.tor]

My predictions

 

Bat 1 8.0 $472K

Bat 1 6.5 $167K

Bat 1 2.0 $53K

 

 

Given the last 5.5 sold for 239, One might consider 250k for the 6.5
