I bought a low grade FF1 earlier this year and Id say prices have come up slightly, also believe FF5 is getting some lift.

Looking at GPA, I can't see much evidence of a spike at any grade level. Maybe a modest increase that's in line with normal 5% growth, but not anything resembling a "spike".
AF15 hasn't really "spiked" either in the last four years, although it has gone up at a decent clip as compared to the rather-anemic growth and decline of all other Silver Marvel books. Looks to me like AF15 has gone up around 25% in the last four years at grades below 7.0, but 7.0 and above has remained mostly steady. My best guess for the higher growth of lower-graded AF15s is that since the great majority of people aren't able to afford the upper grades on that title anymore, the competition for the lower grades has heated up.

Looking at GPA, I can't see much evidence of a spike at any grade level. I don't know if its an outlier but looking at GPA there was a 4.0 sold in July for 5500, if that is permanent I'd call that halfway towards a spike
Given that six of the other eight 4.0s and four out of the five 4.5s that have sold in 2012 all sold for less than $5500 and most closer to the mid-$4000 range, that looks like an outlier, but not an unexpected one, there are always outliers. Could have been a particularly attractive copy, could have been thrill-bidding, could have been a pressing candidate...lots of reasons any given copy might sell for more. Given that most this year haven't sold at that level, can't look at it as an indicator of a new price level.

I know.... That's why I said *if*. :). Can't totally write it off either til we see what happens next. Regardless, the book seems due when it's half he price of af15 and same as hulk 1.... Wtf.
