This is Who We Are Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Some beautiful vampi's in high grade were auctioned off tonight. Hopefully some of them will show up here. I imagine with what's going on in the world, some of them went for incredible prices. This was my first experience with HA. I was shootin for the Vampi 11 CGC 9.4 in particular and was grateful to nab it, but it wasn't without a tough fight. The copy is really vibrant, nicely centered, and has sharp corners (far be it from me to question the grading gods of CGC, but not entirely sure how it wasn't a 9.6). Needless to say, I'm excited but I may just stick to Ebay. That whole Internet bid transitioning to "live-bid" piece rather confused me. Originally thought I won it for a heck of a lot less. Nevertheless, It's probably my favorite Frazetta cover in the series. There was also a beautiful Vampi 2 and 4 in CGC 9.6. Those, I just came up short while trying to wrangle my boys and get them to bed. Cheers to the lucky winner(s). Please consider posting them if you are part of this thread.

stippy52 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I paid $192 for ta 9.4 Vampirella 11 about a month ago Randall Dowling, This is Who We Are and oakman29 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one sold last May with off white pages for 264. I had missed last month's go-around and apparently some others had as well. Last night, the internet auction (I think they call it) for this vampi 11 ended at 201 (around 220) and this is where i mistakenly thought I walked away victorious. It then went to the live-auction and got bid up a couple more increments. This is my favorite Frazetta cover and a true horror masterpiece. These just don't come up in high grade like this and so I decided to play ball. I'll hope to post my copy when it comes in. I may be comparing apples to oranges, but I was surprised the Creepy 91 (1977) sold in a 9.6 at the same price as the vampi 11 in 9.4. Again, this is maybe apples to oranges, but I was surprised to see a magazine with an unoriginal cover go for so high.

That’s the second 9.4 sold over $6k recently, while 9.2’s don’t seem to crack $2500 at best. This one had the large grease pencil arrival date right next to Vampirella, so may have contributed to it’s overall weak finish. Some were just astounding record high prices (look at the #5 9.6 at $1200, #28 9.6 at $780, etc) while others did poorly (#2 9.6 at $432, #3 9.6 $600 and on another note Eerie 17 9.6 at $660). Auctions just always seem to have some odd and unexpected results. The Lions Den and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Dowling Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks for taking the time to document those results, Steve! Very surprising, as you said, in both directions. I think the biggest shock to me is the Vampirella 28, CGC 9.6, $780. I would have priced that around a 1/3 of that result. stippy52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkga Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 If I didn't already own a 9.8 Vampi #3, that 9.6 would have been a steal. I don't know how it went that low! The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post This is Who We Are Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 Just picked this Vampi 28 up. Looked really nice by my eyes. While i'm really not sure the grade, I won't claim that it's in the realm of that 9.6 that went for nearly 800 the other day, but I figured, why the heck not add this one to my collection? Of all the particular Vampis in that auction, the 28 was IMHO one of the biggest surprises at just how high it went.
