Comics Comics Heating Up
#181

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 :flushed: :flushed: :star_struck:

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.

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!!!

#187

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… :wink:

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

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.

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

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.
