Granted this is what the seller is asking for, and it’s the highest, but wow.

Nothing surprises me anymore.
Sports Card Collectors and Wall Streeters have entered the market and I've heard/read that they are buying up alot of 9.8 keys for ridiculous prices. Who knows how true, but it might be.

The current market has me hardly buying any classic comics. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
I don't get it either, a Thor #160 9.6 recently sold for around $700 why not have that and a pile of cash instead?

Here's a link to the recent 9.8 sale:

I don't understand it. I keep trying but all I can do is guess.

To me, the Kirby/Sinnott Galactus pales in comparison to the Kirby/Colletta Galactus. So while FF48 is the prized 1st appearance, he's still kind of goofy (Galactus has that giant G on his outfit) compared to the one in Thor 160. But then why isn't Thor 134 booming along with 160?

I'm overthinking all of it. It's probably as simple as--there are seven 9.8s in the census--so they're rarely available and some mega collectors went "I GOTTA HAVE IT."

Two snipe bids that blew each other up.

Remind me never to put a high of $27k on a $1000 book that I desperately want.

Just got one of these back from grading. Don’t even know where I got it, but tossed it in with some moderns. Surprised, it got a 9.8.

FOMO is real! Was on a livestream auction this weekend and a Jungle Action 5 raw in a 9.0-9.2 in seller's opinion went for $450! You can buy a slabbed 9.2 for $320.00 right now on Ebay! I guess it's great for sellers. Too bad Go Collect can't take into account books are going for on YouTube auctions, it would really increase everyone's PC's.

Ha ha!

No, no.

Probably the $650 it seems to be selling for pretty consistently.

Or it was. Maybe $600 now.

I’d take $1200 for it if someone was crazy enough to offer it, but won’t ask that high...yet.
