Interesting Sales 💸

[Bill]

I have been a big Randy Bowen bust collector from the beginning.
Over 100 Bowen Busts I own in a display case (and everywhere else in my house I can find)

I have owned exactly 1 of the Legend Promo busts from Bowen and have searched for years & years for a 2nd to purchase (thinking they’d run for anywhere from $40 - $60 - just my guessing).

This came up with a start at $250 which I scoffed at. No way was I paying that much. Then I noticed what it ended for

Suffice to say, that no 2nd one is in the plans anymore

Holy cow. I used to be into Bowen mini busts as well. A bunch of years back I did a big purge and sold them.

Crazy

[D-Rog]

Actually, it was only $320…so like…dollar bin…

[D-Rog]

Incredible…it’s not even a newsstand…

This is not a rare book in high grade…people just don’t think to grade copies…

Ok, now we’re playing with Pennies.

Last Lincoln penny ever struck/minted up for auction. What’s it going to go for, including the 20% buyers premium?

I’m going to say $10million…just slightly north of the a Superman #1 in 9.0 (CGC). Coin collectors have more
Money/deeper pockets than comic collectors!!!

[Anthony]

My guess is $10,000,000.01

See what I did there?

Just so everyone knows… 1943-D Lincoln Bronze Wheat Penny — $2.3 million was the most expensive penny ever sold at auction and there’s just one of them in the entire world, a true RARE and HTF type of item if you ask me…

But we do live in strange times I think where people might spend more on these… but we’ll see.

[D-Rog]

Why 696 pennies sold for more than $16.7 million | cllct

[Bill]

Always keep a 3rd eye out there for high grade raw #1’s of popular 60s and 70s tv shows.

This is only a 9.0 but went for $500.

[D-Rog]

First Superman in Action Comics #1 CGC 9.0 Goes For Record $15 Million

Private sale…for what it’s worth. New record? Or do private sales get an Asterix?

[D-Rog]

Two separate sales.

Not a rare book….just not a lot graded.

Overall not very impressed with this Jim Henson collection. The Uncle Traveling Matt puppet was obviously the highlight…how often do you see original fragile rock puppets come to market?

Sad to see so many of the Age of Resistance Dark Crystal
Puppets go to auction as it’s just a reminder that product has no plan to return to screen…

But the link is there if anyone cares to scroll though.

[D-Rog]

I need to dig out my copy and get it graded. For the PC though.

[comicaddictpk]

Tough to find ones without a subscription label. Those are the ones with real value. Given the paper and sticker quality on those and the age of the magazine they aren’t easily removable either.

[D-Rog]

Yeah…I’m thinking mine has that dreaded sticker.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to lay claim to an expensive or rare magazine that has such a label…

“It’s mine! My name is on the sticker!!!”

[Braainz]

Not a comic but new ATH for a Craniacs parallel.

[agentpoyo]

@D-Rog

“It’s mine! My name is on the sticker!!!”

That’d be still pretty hard to lay claim too if it came down to battling that out in a court. Anyone could just rip the sticker off and or black it out with a marker too. If all it took was a label, that would open up the floodgates on ownership on all kinds of things if it simply had your name on it. What’s your address? I’m gonna label your house with my name and claim ownership… There’s gonna be a new monthly rent that you owe me soon…

[D-Rog]

Technically anything you own is the property of @Anthony .

[agentpoyo]

Yeah, need someone to break my chains and set me free…
