Imagine being some kid in the early '60s and your mom threw away all your early Marvel silver age keys in 1965 or so ... and today you're broke... dang!
The Hulk #1 7.5 which sold as a ‘22 high over 100k also has a notation of “Jack Kirby written in Pen on first page” so as a signed copy, the slope may not really be in a pull back excluding that copy
Auctions are up and down depending on who's bidding, but the bidders in this auction are people with a high net worth. The down market does not affect these individuals as much as the lower and middle classes.
Dave - every time I click the heart button the your site for a comic it resets my whole asm search! Grrrrrrr. Sorry out of context comment but had to mention it.
I tried to recreate what bug you have with our search, I could not. Could you please email me at David@CollectorsComics.com so I can try and figure it out, thank you
A 1966 Ford GT40 sold tonight for $6.3 million on Mecum Auctions. Several vintage 60's hot rod cars went for $125,000 to $250,000. Cars that bought new for around $4-6000 at the time now worth a quarter of a million. Wow!
*_The collectors that buy at HA auctions are more often than not so rich it doesn't matter what they pay. All sales prices are +20% to HA, then there's tax for the buyer, is this correct? So, what is that what they win the auction for +25%? A $100K item costs the buyer $125K, maybe? Or is it more?_* *_I was most surprised HULK 181 CGC 9.9 was not put up for auction. The movie was postponed, that might be the reason. I guess it will be up next January auction at HA-but HA will outbid to get it for themselves._* *_That Captain America in a CGC 9.9? That was MyComicShop's copy, wasn't it? The same book they had on ebay for YEARS for $100K-$125K(I think so high?)._*
Congrats on the Albedo 2 value bump! 🥳🎉 Knowing what you know now though, do you risk auctioning now/in the near future, do you hold and wait for it to appreciate, or do you list it at a fixed price and hope those buyers see it and pay up? 🤔 I honestly wouldn’t know how to capture that 55K price tag. Auction seems risky, but it may sit forever on a fixed listing.
That Superman sold for $2.6M on HA in 2021 then resold for $1.6M last year in a Goldin auction then just resold for $2.3M back on HA So mix if platform and variability. The 9.8 ASM #1 was the 9.6 which sold for 550k last year and was CPR and regraded as a 9.8 . If you look st it in high res photo - seems like a gimme with color breaks. But nice arbitrage.
When i look at these high prices i feel discouraged to continue collecting. If i could own the high grade comics i love i wouldn't sell them for any price but that's just me.
First, thanks for the video. It's interesting to see what the grails are doing, especially since they're rarely put up for sale in these conditions. One thing about collecting comics as an investment is that it requires a great deal of patience. The two major events that caused an increase in comic values since 2000 were the release of the movie Iron Man and the counter-intuitive dramatic price increase that took place during the pandemic when other investments dropped dramatically. So what's next? Is superhero fatigue a thing and is it all going to fade? Will Marvel bring in Doom to save the MCU? Will bringing in the FF and X-Men reinvigorate Marvel? Is it time to go all in on DC, whose Silver and Bronze Age keys seem a lot cheaper and Gunn setting them up to be on par with Marvel? Or will they go bankrupt first (WB/Discovery has been losing money for awhile) Will Gen Z's "rethinking" of classic characters on screen drive down the prices of comics that are treasured by Boomers and Gen X? And just how valuable will FF 48 become as the Silver Surfer takes over as Marvel's most popular character as a result of the Apple Vision Pro making 3D commonplace and the coolest Apple Vision Pro game of 2030 is Surfing with the Alien, with, of course, a Joe Satriani soundtrack. (I admit, the last one sounds like a long shot, but a 3D SS game just seems like a really, really cool idea).
I remember the silver surfer nes game back in the 80s. It was horrible 😂 but yes an Apple vision game would be awesome. Can’t wait for more of a meta verse experience. Then off to the matrix. Hook me up into the simulation please
Also, love the story and history sessions 🤗🙏🏻

That would suck
Especially after you came back from fighting in Vietnam! That happened a lot of times.
That’s why they go for so much . If everyone looked after them and kept them - wouldn’t go for such big money
Like those comics would’ve lasted 50 years,
Someone's did. @@erikd9725
A Dave rant!!! I miss those! Thanks for the detailed break down!
How many were tampered with?
Great Research and Info as usual

I’ll look into it. Thanks for letting me know

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Omega men#3. Solid investment....❤
That was a totally awesome story
Thanks :)
There are 3x cgc 9.9s for iron man 1 on the census.
A lot of Batman #1s have been comic to market at Heritage, which has depressed prices for the book.
I wonder how many of them are counterfeits.

Wow. That’s a lot. Is that a record price?
There is currently 1 cgc 9.9 of nick fury 1 on the cgc census.
A book that sales for 55,000 at auction means there is a person who was willing to pay 54,000 that didn't get a book.
Yup. And could mean there are more out there that just didn’t see it or didn’t have the funds at the time

Wow. It sold for that low on goldin. Someone lost a mil and someone gained a mil
I thought I remember the Curator copy as a 9.6. Just high end games as usual.
When i look at these high prices i feel discouraged to continue collecting. If i could own the high grade comics i love i wouldn't sell them for any price but that's just me.
There is 1 cgc 9.9 of iron man and submariner on the cgc census.
Just remember... It's not one person that decided to spend 40% over the previous sale when you see a spike. It takes two to tango.
That is true
You should zoom into many of these high value 9.8’s. It will shock you how damaged they really are. Definitely not 9.8’s.
The GSX #1 CBCS 9.8 popped up right at the bottom of your screen when you stopped. I think in 2024 the margin between CGC & CBCS will close more.
i sure hope so
All high leverage keys what about less expensive keys

The first JLA in 9.6 should have got at least $1 million!
Not many comics above one mil though
#1!
one inch?
@@jonp4890 #1 means number one. 1" means one inch. That's your lesson for today. 😂
I guess you’re not a big pre code horror fan, eh? Also, I think we should just ignore prices from the boom, 21-22 will always be crazy and it’s over.
Looks like you won't be getting 80k for your Albedo 2 haha
Nope. But still get 50-60k which is good
