Holy Cr@p! Conan the Barbarian!!13696

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
So this is an alert for other owners. My CTB #100 CBCS cert 9.8 sold sold for $260 which is by FAR the highest price achieved. Not sure, but you may want to adjust if you were looking to sell.

I was tempted by this book. I just didn’t have it in me. Awesome cover.

It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors. chester15 private msg quote post Address this user
I presume that's an auction at mcs. Probably 2 bidders with more money than brains. And I would think that there were also sleeper auctions that didn't perform well at all.

When people do stupid things in either direction, it's too bad the figures can't get "tossed out" as outliers, not based in reality, not left to influence the more grounded trends.

Congrats! I'm still the leader on your Inhumans 1 9.6. Can't really figure out why, I'm assuming I will be taken out soon. Also expecting to be taken out on Omega Men 3 soon.
@HeinzDad Inhumans 1 has a beautiful yellow cover by the way!

Yeah I went to log in and got this email. Good score, I would have bid it up a few bucks at least.

Somebody needs to take me out on that Omega Men 3 9.8, first Lobo. Last two CGC went for $220 and $240, I'm winning at $155.

@HeinzDad - It was actually my first Conan the Barbarian purchase back in the day and I had grand aspirations of someday filling in #1 - 99. But life happened and other decisions became reality.

Oops, I thought the Omega Men 3 was ending tonight, but it has 2 more days to go. That's why I haven't been bid up yet.

I get what you're saying but how do recognize the difference between an outlier sale and a more grounded trend? How do values in books increase if you throw out increased sales values as outliers?

@EbaySeller - Congrats! While I am a little surprised it that low, I am not in the least butt hurt as it went to a CBCS forum member. I have to say I am flabbergasted by CtB 100 at $260. That is a record for this comic by CBCS or cgc. @sborock another record for one of your certified comics!

I almost bid on the Werewolf by Night #1 in the MCS auction tonight, but I think it is the WORST looking 9.0 that I have ever seen.

Maybe there could be a probationary period for any sale that deviates more than X% from the norm, up or down. Like a "not proven" status. If a few other sales follow suit, the number is validated, and incorporated into the data set as real.

Several similar data points IS a trend. One crazy bid while intoxicated from liquor purchased with a $600 check is not.

Don't worry Rich, I have another #100 (or two). And I am only half joking/teasing (I need to downsize too).

Just clowning around but I could do a cartwheel when my carrier brings me said book.

I was thinking the same thing. Way too many spine ticks.

Sounds like crazy comic prices get made the same way that babies get made.
