I'm still confused about the other auction ... Very curious to see how that one will end.
Wow another one from platinumcomix*com.

That was a $350 haircut based on the sellers past purchases.

Wonder if anyone will bid on the other auction?

I'd like to get one for myself but the current downward trend is very concerning.

I know it's a key book and value shouldn't really matter if you need it for a collection but seriously, this book has dropped huge over the past few months. I think I might wait until the next CGC census update. If there is another spike in the census I'll have to hold off even longer until I feel the market price fairly reflects the additional supply.

At the moment, I can't see that much of a support level even if people are still bidding at the $600 level.

So, desirableitems buys 5 at $1K+ and then sells one at $650.

Must have a Harvard MBA. Too smart for me.

They are lower because there are so many on ebay so quickly. That and most the valiant buying on ebay, is done from people on these boards, and if they arent buying the prices are much lower.

I clicked on View Seller's Other Items and saw a Hulk #181 CGC 9.8 at almost $18,000 with one bid.

Does that really sell for that much?

This is a crazy price, but its that old leap to 9.8 that gets 'em.
What does the 9.6 go for and is this a similar example to the 9.6 to 9.8 Harby?

So the $649 support level is now gone ...

I'd be surprised if the current listing sold.
