The Joker has an unbelievable following like Venom. Hey, I like Captain America better, but modern audiences have a different taste.  The Venom movie beat Justice League who had both Superman and Batman in it at the box office easilly. Times change.

Joker is a villain everybody knows but, then, so is Hitler.

My son and his homies are 17-18 years. They are not into superman at all. Batman: to a certain extent. But they are really into the Joker. Copying the dress-style, buying posters, checking out trades, etc. The Joker is resonating with them.

Growing up as a comic collector in the 70s and 80s, no one was into new CA comics and everyone was into Batman.  There was never a great Silver or bronse CA run you had to have.  Batman had Miller, Rogers/Austin, O’Neal/Adams, etc. 

Yes, Cat etc., there are some great golden age CA covers, but you can get equally great Timely covers on other titles.  And the GA Batman covers are also iconic.

In the final analysis CA just hasn’t meant as much to comic collectors of the past 50 plus years as Batman and a few movies does not change that.

Shoot away.

Considering that a Cap #1 1.5 sold for $70,000+ back in 2017, what’s a fair price for a 5.5 in 2019? Is 200K too high?

Seems high to me.  Maybe back n 2013 but not now is my guess.

Sold my 2.5 copy back in 2014 for $35k.  Wish I waited until 2017 to sell

I’m rooting for you to be right. A 7.0 went for $243k recently, so yours is a good estimate

Real action starts at the 1 minute mark.  Would suck if one bidder had to pay taxes while another didn’t.  Could be $100k difference there.  I guess if you have a million to spend it doesn’t matter but $100k is $100k

For those who don’t have to pay tax on these auctions, take advantage of it now.  I imagine 99% of states will have to pay soon.

Bob Storms recent sales. Mind you those are listed prices not sale prices ( as Robert tends to apply 10% discounts )

My thoughts exactly.

Texas still doesn’t have the online taxes applied to sales from other states yet, which means no taxes for Clink or CC auctions,  but since Heritage is located here, we have to pay those taxes every time.
