MCS Prime Auction vs. Weekly Auction Comparison20371

Masculinity takes a holiday. EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user
UF4 CGC 9.8 sold in Jan at MCS for $1136, I assume it was in the Prime Auction last week. Another 9.8 is in this week's regular auction...presumably it couldn't get into the Prime auction because the other copy was already scheduled there. Will there be any real difference in selling price for a book like this in the Prime Auction vs. regular weekly auction? Lower? Higher? Insignificant difference? Any guesses?

For what it's worth, the January price of $1,136 was down about $130 from a December MCS price, down $200 from a November price and down over $300 from an October price for CGC 9.8.

Hmm... Moderated again! figment private msg quote post Address this user
I didn't think you could get $1K books into the weekly auction, everything we have priced over $400 they pretty much force into the Prime auctions. It's a bit frustrating sometimes but I understand, they want the Prime auctions to be special and attract more attention than the weekly's.

For that reason I'll guess lower, but I also think that book is in freefall because the printing numbers are catching up to the hype of significance.

I've had the same frustration before where I didn't want to wait for the Prime Auction to sell a bigger book but had no other auction choice offered. I think Conan said that you can contact them directly to put a book into auction before the Prime. I also think, in a case such as this, you will be given the option of next available auction if the book you want to submit is excluded from the Prime auction due to duplication.

Last year CBCS added a graded UF4 (7.0) with my submission by mistake. Being honest I contacted CBCS and returned it to them. Since I only collect pre-1982 MARVEL's, I had no idea what it was worth until I looked it up. Back then it was around $125.00.

I’ve been watching UF4, waiting to replace the CBCS 9.8 I sold during the hype. Will be watching the MCS auction.
