atomised Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) sure here are my thoughts just on the books I tracked. Bats 11 3.5 sold for $4,122. I was closely watching that as prices seem to be right sizing after an outlier sale of a 3.0 for $5,975 threw weird energy into the cosmos. Blue Beetle (Fox) #17 6.5 sold for $1,650. I've never seen this book before and apparently neither has CC. I'm sure a collector is real happy to have this. Seriously, how many copies of this book exist? wow. Blue Beetle (Fox) #36 Church 9.4 hammered for $1,805. I don't think it's the most inspired cover in the run but it's the best copy out there. I was hoping to steal it at a lower price, no luck. Tec 71 5.5 with the iconic Joker cover went for $5,100. Seems such a safe, high quality pickup for someone. The Tec 168 2.5 realized $7,550. Seems like the kind of magical book that you wake up the next day and it's already worth more than what you paid for. A stunning Cap 77 7.0 went for $3,050. This was actually my favorite book in today's session. Some of these Cap books from the 50's are really overlooked and a beast to get in this condition. A feel the same way about the Subby's in the 50's, shhh don't let the good secret out! Edited December 13, 2018 by atomised AnkurJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this also apply to all of those near last issue Atlas hero books like Human Torch and Young Men also? aardvark88, Larryw7 and atomised 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean this little copy here that is already at $104K with still almost 2 more days to go: As Peter had posted in the other thread, he believes this might even get as high as the $130K to $140K price range which would put it about $100K more than the highest recorded sale in the Heritage archives to date for a copy of Supes 14. As I stated in the other thread, the assumption that Heritage tends to always get the highest prices for books may not necessarily be true. Especially from the consignor's point of view once you factor in the higher auction fees that is retained by Heritage.

The previous one on Heritage that I was referring to was a CGC 9.2 graded copy that sold for $35,850 back in May of 2015: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superman-14-dc-1942-cgc-nm-92-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7136-91205.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 At the time of that sale, it was one of two highest graded copies in existence since this CGC 9.4 graded copy in the current CC Auction was graded only a year ago back in December of 2017. That's still a pretty significant increase in price (if Peter's prediction comes true) for the highest graded copy in existence at the time.

tth2 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 You can't compare the price of a 9.2 copy to a 9.4 copy just because each was at the time the highest graded copy. It's an apples to oranges comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 17 is a tough book. I think I have only seen one other copy for sale. I am missing three issues of BB in the 30s (34-36). Most of the run is tough. 41 though is rampantly available (warehouser). I, personally, wouldn't have ponied up nearly $2 for the MH 36 but the 17 seemed like a decent snag for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an apples to oranges comparison. Why? Highest graded is highest graded. Let's assume the MH Action 1 is the single best copy in existence (a safe assumption, I think), will it really matter to its price whether it grades out as a 9.2 (Fishler's view) or 9.4 (Borock's view)? I don't think. World's best Action 1 is worth what its worth because it is the best, not because its a 9.4 or 9.2. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to find a ped of this issue. It is tough. I have a 5.0. Never quite understood why these books are as scarce as they are. I guess the very high sales of CMA didn't carry over to Masters.
