I'm sorry to whoever I'm bidding against! We're making someone else rich!) feels like a major win, so I'll take it. Getting the 9.2 86 also helps, to be honest.

I don't have a complete hole in the run. It wasn't me, I was looking at the Pedigrees as I have a lot in my DD run but just ended up feeling about the prices for some reason. The White Mountain is a nice book for sure so congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Town Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 23 hours ago, rob_react said: I bid $825 on the Daredevil #86 CGC 9.6. That's 2.5(ish) times the last 9.6 sale and nearly the same price paid for the last 9.8. I laid that bid down a while ago and was just sweating bullets since. So, what happened? It sold for $846, which isn't even a whole increment over my high bid. Which means! If I'd been at my computer instead of at the gym I'd be $871 poorer because I sure as heck would have upped that bid. I missed those 9.6 and 9.8 sales and I'm glad I did. I paid $725 for the Suscha News copy back in 2011. Insanity loves company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insanity loves company. I'm still trying to figure out what level of insanity I'll need for this one. I'm just hoping it's not 5 years until the next one shows up at 9.4+!

findog Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Advice? If you were in the market for a mid/low grade hornhead 1? Would you go eBay? These forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were looking for a low grade DD#1, I'd set a budget and cast a wide net.-the boards, eBay, the auction sites. They come up regularly and if you're patient you can find a good deal.

DD1 has to be the one of the most underrated books in the SA era. I don't own one but I believe it one of the greatest deals you can still buy at a descent price in any grade.

There were some comiconnect and heritage auctions for 9.8s and 9.6s DDs that were going at some really high prices IMO. Certainly that is a shocker, but then we never see those grades for certain books become available very often and collectors just seem to think 'I gotta have it'.

rob_react Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The #86 might be another 9.2 but even if it is, it will pay for the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_react Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) As with the DD #1 thread- I had reason to dig through my boxes today, so I took a quick group shot (the 2nd #9 is the White Mountain copy- there's a huge bindery tear- it's 9.6 otherwise) Edited April 24, 2017 by rob_react Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Town Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Great group shot, Rob. Have you posted a scan of your 9.4 DD #1 anywhere? If you did, I somehow missed it. It looks very sharp in the group shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was probably maxed out at 9.2 and I was right. Still, I was hoping for magic. Still, I don't have a hole at #86 anymore and will have something to sell if I need to break the bank for the ComicConnect copy. 001 Daredevil 86 4/72 Marvel Comics Universal 9.2 WHITE Gene Colan and Tom Palmer art John Buscema and Frank Giacoia cover Here's my copy again. romanheart and Icculus308win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
