BarryAllen Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hard to compare prices between half-grades. Also - eBay has a LOT more people exposed to it. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 You can't micro analyze every sale. It's going to be the financial downfall of the hobby. There will always be some variation on price. This isn't the stock market where everyone shops at the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheta42 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Can someone explain how this 3.0 from Ebay got more then the 3.5 from the Heritage auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/Showcase-4-CGC-3-0-First-silver-age-FLASH-universal-start-of-the-Silver-Age-/252157736560?hash=item3ab5c5b670:g:bbIAAOSw37tV-1Fd http://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/superhero/showcase-4-the-flash-dc-1956-cgc-vg-35-off-white-pages/a/7152-91301.s?type=bidnotice-tracked-endofauction Impulse buyer? Or maybe the motto "buy the book not the label?" This is what I am trying to convey...buy the book not the label....The 3.0 looks more 2.5 and the 3.5 looks more like a 4.0. E Bay has the exposure that brings in the population I guess to impulse buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryAllen Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Thoughts on this hammer price? A little lighter than I was expecting... CLink 5.5 Sold Edited December 4, 2015 by rfoiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishmashman Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Thoughts on this hammer price? A little lighter than I was expecting... CLink 5.5 Sold Really? That's over 4200/point. It's officially neck and neck with AF15 as the most valuable Silver Age key. A restored 4.0 with slight amateur CT sold for 8K today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restored books (particularly those without trimming) are aggressively on the rise! You guys are amazing. Do you actually think every sale will outpace the previous one? Kids. Thank you, I am amazing aren't I! No GPA data on a 5.5 since Aug 2013, which was ~$9,400 and I am not aware of another 5.5 sale recently before this one (maybe I missed it), so it seems like a situation where guessing at the price was the only option. I agree that every sale isn't necessarily going to top the previous and certainly not for perpetuity. However, I don't think this situation is what you are making it out to be... There was a sale on a 6.0 in October for ~$28k, so maybe I was a little optimistic but many times these mid-grade half-point books sell for similar prices to the half grade up or down. Since there hasn't been a GPA sale on a 5.0 since Aug 2013 either, I went with the most recent example. Clearly I was a little bullish, not sure that amounts to "foolish." :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texmurphy2099 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'd love to own a showcase 4 - I just wish more nice mid grade copies would show up! Is this book #3 or #4 on overstreet? seems like the #3 book to me, could it overtake hulk 1? it's worth more than FF isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
