So I have a question for you and anyone else on this thread

ASM 300 9.8 stayed at $2000 for awhile, what was the previous bubble?

CGC 9.8 ASM #300 went to $1,500 to $1,700 in 2006-2007, also had sales as low as $600 those years... but didn't return to $1,500 until 2014.

All of the sales in 2012 were $500 to $700.

Many, many sales above $2,000 in 2018 and several above $2,500 in 2018, but lower overall prices during 2019.

The 2020 increase is setting new highs, but there have been opportunities to buy cheaper each time this book has jumped up before.

Seen it. It’s “Amazing”. How long have you been at that particular project?

Good question.  

I kept about a dozen copies of my original 80 copy purchase from 1988, and I would say that I made my decision to purchase 68 more copies sometime in June 2019.

early in my purchasing, I was picking up 9.2’s, 9.4’s, but I quickly became more selective and   I’ve focused on 9.6’s and 9.8’s, especially those with deep red front cover colours...it really makes the book stand out.

Interesting. Don’t think I’m interrogating you or anything lol just curious.

Back then...you ended up with only 12 remaining from the original 80. Why did you stop at that number (12)? You sold/traded  the rest of the 68 copies? All raw copies correct? Did you send them for grading eventually yourself or did you start from scratch buying them graded?

Sorry for the questions lol. Just interesting to talk about and plus I have no life really lol.

I sold what I needed in order to raise some funds for University.  This was all prior to the formation of CGC

Can't believe I sold my SS (Michelinie) 9.6 for a high bid of $620 last fall after holding onto it for 30 years. So dumb. 

Seems like a fair price for back then no?

But yea I feel ya. Regrets suck sometimes.

Don't feel bad $620 is pretty good. I had three raw copies, slabbed them and sold two 9.6s for $200 each back in 2004.

The third copy is a 9.8 which I still have and I don't plan to sell it.

I’m pretty bored and thought I’d share a few recent freebay auctions and completed sales. 
 


CGC 9.8 Newsstand

 

Is this pretty much now close to being a $5K  book? Jesus that’s crazy! Lol

Also curious to see what that 9.4 goes for.

A 9.6 went for an astounding $2,550 with 47 bids - that's a bit of an anomaly most likely due to the fact that it's a 9.6 in a really old CGC slab, so the winner is surely hoping to press and regrade into a 9.8. But it's amazing to look at sales in all grades and how this still continues to climb - not just in Buy It Now sales, but in auctions with a high number of bids.

I was eyeing that copy and thinking the exact same thing, but at $2.55K, its a pricey gamble.

Another copy sold for $1.6K on Oct 8, which is another strong result

Several strong sales of 9.4's this past week lead me to believe this book will see steady sales at $1K in the next few weeks.

There’s actually a 9.4 at 900 so far with about a day left...

 

it’s a NEWSSTAND copy
