I think some people overpaid for the story of the collection. Not sure this means the whole market is back on the upswing cause this might just be the high end market. However, CCGs are back on the upswing and collectible prices do tend to move together.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting the sales to be this strong, but they were. I felt that there was weakness in restored books that had trimming (in general), but that was about it. There was a few steals, but I stood on the sidelines. I am in the process of saving up for something big.
I too was shocked that the Superman #1 sold for only $81k. I was watching the auction and before the auction, I had already mentally concluded that Superman #1 would be too rich for me. But when it was closing, I could not process what I was seeing fast enough to submit a bid. With that said, my guess is that even if I ultimately bid $125k (my max), the other bidder would have outbid me. Congrats to him or her for getting a great deal.
Hi, Ryan. thanks for taking the time to estimate each book. I know that must have taken considerable time! I ended up landing a pretty cool book; one of the few that went significantly under my estimate 🙂. By the way, 50k was my estimate for Double Action 2 as well. Like you, though, I knew it was tough to estimate.
Great video! I think you're spot on with the Action 1 being a steal. It'll go to a good home. 😊 The rest of the auction seemed very typical. Some really high sales. And some really low sales. Overall, it averaged out to a great result.
Great video Ryan. Excellent analysis. Lots of work. Thanks. Quick question. Where is the cutoff for the complete DC collection? I mean, I know it starts with New Fun #1, but where does it end?
There is a huge upside to rare high grade comics. For instance all the New Adventure Edgar Church copies. NAC #17 has two sales in the last 25 years prior to the Church copy. My NAC 27 I had at $90K, but the Flash Comics 1 at only $135K. This is the first truly positive auction since the end of the Promise Collection.
That Superman #13 in 9.0 is insane to me. What has to happen for people to lose trust in CGC? I'm really hoping PSA comes in and disrupts the industry. There needs to be another option that people consider when slabbing the big books. Competition is the only thing that will bring real change.
@@zoso73 I don't disagree with your point. However, if GPA wasn't aggregating the data someone else would. Hopefully, as PSA enters the game, GPA will begin tracking that data as well. They should do it already with CBCS. I'm not sure why they don't to be honest - it would likely increase their subscriber count.
@CalebsComics PSA will do no better than CBCS as long as (i) GPA remains status quo or (ii) no one else truly competes with GPA to report grades of more than one grading company. I wonder whether GPA has some relationship with CGC.
I’m not at all surprised at the prices these rarer Golden Age books realized. With Golden Age books you have that rarity factor that keeps them going for higher and higher prices. Those really rare books you just don’t see come up for sale for years, and when they do, bidders really need to make their highest offers or they may never have a chance to buy that really rare book again.

Really enjoy these market analysis type videos. Well done 👏 thanks for all your efforts
Wonderful video - thanks for putting the time for such well-informed analysis
I could watch these all day long! 😅

I didn't expect those non-hero Mile Highs to go for that much! Huge numbers!
Wow grabbed a few of your recommendations!
Thanks for the report. I was also very curious to see how the market would absorb these, so I appreciate your time and efforts towards answering that
Thank you for the timely follow up! I was surprised to see such consistently high prices.
These are my favorite videos. I appreciate your detailed analyses and commentary.
Fascinating! The high end golden age market is incredibly strong. Seems like the market might be getting ready for some trickle down.
Really enjoyed your analysis
Ryan, you are amazingly accurate with your price estimates. I really admire your research.

Awesome video. Thanks for all this info👍👍

Ryan, what are your thoughts on that X-Men #1 3.5 that had JSA verified Jack Kirby and Stan Lee signatures? What did you value that one at? 🤔
Great video!
Great video Ryan. Excellent analysis. Lots of work. Thanks. Quick question. Where is the cutoff for the complete DC collection? I mean, I know it starts with New Fun #1, but where does it end?
It ends in 2003 from what I saw in one of the press releases. I don’t know the exact issue.
@AutomaticComics Thanks
100 percent of them beat my max bids. Like I said, I would buy any of these books for 100 bucks. 😂
I wonder how many collectors there are in the hobby and the age range
I bid on a few of the books, but eventually struck out. Fun auction though!
8:28 There is ALWAYS demand for a gorilla cover. Don't doubt the true collctors!
People are buying comic books again! Variant covers are also making a comeback.
Great job. It had to be a ton of work
glad you do a TON of work, so we don't have to.

Blonde in a red dress on the cover of Action 2. Add’s value to the book. In fact this might be the grail for people who collect those books

As long as GPA only reports CGC sales, nothing will ever change. It is GPA, not CGC, that controls the graded book market and influences raw sales.

Why was the batman 2 labeled A-1? doesn’t A-1 equate to Consevered? or is there exceptions
Rich people be richin
