Hot damn!

Thank you, fellas. I am open to offers. A friend of mine texted me and said that there was an 8.5 offered up to him at $25k more recently. I may keep it as I was just putting this up to avoid any financial strain/chance to take on debt with some art I bought. But if you are serious and want to start a conversion, feel free to DM me.

Half of the Go-Collect Multiplier? He must have snapped that up instantly, huh?

20-25K (tending more towards 20) for an 8.5 probably makes sense given 8.0 sales, but hey I don't follow GA batman books all that much.

How do you follow sales on a book that hasn't sold in three years? 3 years is a looong time in comics.

because not all sales end up on GoComicsCollect or GPA for that matter...

Ok, in the message you sent me you only had Heritage and GPA sales from a few years ago.

In full disclosure, he passed. Said he couldn't take advantage of the guy like that

Since you asked, here is how I would do it -

The last 8.0 sold for around $10,000 in 2017.

A 6.0 sold for $3250 in 2020 after a similarly graded copy sold for $5500 in 2018. That is an odd drop and there are many reasons why that could have happened.

Two different 5.0 copies sold in 2020 for around $2200 each. That leads me to believe that $3500 for a 6.0 is probably about right.

The last 4.0 sale at $1200 also supports that. And each of those sales are trending downward from previous sales.

Next I look at the census and see that there are five 8.0 copies and five 8.5 copies. If the book is trending downward then the pessimist in me says the $10,000 8.0 sale in 2017 is probably a little higher than what the same book would realize now. But I am also stubborn so I wouldn't price it any less than $10K. So let's say I put a $12K price on the 8.0 with the expectation that I would settle for $10-$11K. So where would that leave a really pretty 8.5? My guess would be $15- $17K.

But the beauty is that you can price your book at whatever price you feel comfortable with - as long as it isn't the Go-Collect Multiplier!

Thank you Richard.

I was going to post again something along those lines (I actually did but then sent via PM instead) but

a- dont want to get a strike/sanction

b- dont follow GA batman books all that much *cough*

Also to mention the 8.0 sale of 2017 was 1.5k less (diff copy) than the 8.0 sale in 2016

Don't knock the GoCollect Multiplier!!!

 

I understand, but there is something to say when the highest copy is only a 9.0, with only 12 copies 8.0 or higher out of like 125 subs on a blue chip title. But maybe I will just let you and Gotham Kid price my Batman books from now on.

Again, I will reach out to you next time. So many high-grade copies of this are being passed around. I need someone more informed to help me out.

Listen, I feel for you. I know how hard it is to price high grade books that are under-represented on GPA and at or near the top of the census. There is a fine line decision to be made because once it is sold you will probably never have a chance to sell a copy like it ever again. My only real point here is to poke fun at using Go-Collect as part of the equation. This is the first time I have ever seen it used - and the resulting price just made me giggle.

It's all good. I wouldn't have started so aggressive if it wasn't for the census numbers/title/cover. Usually, when someone really wants something like this they will write me and say "I'm not doing that, but I would give you this." I wasn't expecting to come back and see an I'll take it. Although I know people that do that on books they have been hunting awhile. Oh, and the GoCollect multiplier just solidified where it needed to be haha.

Looks like this one will stay in the collection as the experts have spoken.
