Makes poker chip collecting seem cheap

Ty for the tag, I’m neck deep in the pre-bidding war already.
I assumed that lol can you give us some info and background on it??Ty for the tag, I’m neck deep in the pre-bidding war already.
So, Batman #1 is an important comic book, but it’s not as important as Detective Comics #27, which was the first appearance of Batman. It’s similar to Pep #22 vs Archie #1 or Amazing Fantasy #15 vs Spider-Man #1.I assumed that lol can you give us some info and background on it??
Lets hope the Saudis and the Chinese dont get into poker chips....So, Batman #1 is an important comic book, but it’s not as important as Detective Comics #27, which was the first appearance of Batman. It’s similar to Pep #22 vs Archie #1 or Amazing Fantasy #15 vs Spider-Man #1.
Batman #1 in a 9.x is very very rare, especially with white pages, and the provenance of this issue is well documented.
The issue with comics is that the Saudi princes haven gotten involved, just like the new Chinese wealth got involved in rare wines, and prices have skyrocketed.
I’m willing to go to $1.85mm on this, but I think the Saudis will go up to $2.5mm. Sad.
One might say you just got windwalkered by the Saudis lol.So, Batman #1 is an important comic book, but it’s not as important as Detective Comics #27, which was the first appearance of Batman. It’s similar to Pep #22 vs Archie #1 or Amazing Fantasy #15 vs Spider-Man #1.

"Every hobby has its Windwalker?"One might say you just got windwalkered by the Saudis lol.
Good luck with the auction. Pesky Saudis

Saudis at work, @Windwalker?
If you’re spending 2.2 mil on a comic book, you’ve likely done all the other things.Dude the things I could do with that amount of money > a comic book
Anonymous for now, but I strongly believe it was a buyer based in Dubai, from Saudi originally. He’s on a quest for all the #1s. I had already said it might be $2.5mm earlier. I put my final bid in at $1.85mm, but sadly wasn’t enough.Saudis at work, @Windwalker?

Oh, there were other bidders past $1.85mm. Kept climbing. There’s rumor of a 9.x Action Comics #1 that’s going to go on auction. That will hit $3mm for sure.$1,805,001 is too excessive?
So now the poll has to change to what to do with 2.5million?Anonymous for now, but I strongly believe it was a buyer based in Dubai, from Saudi originally. He’s on a quest for all the #1s. I had already said it might be $2.5mm earlier. I put my final bid in at $1.85mm, but sadly wasn’t enough.
Is there anyone other than captain America. Watching him makes me proud to be murican and I'm EnglishWho are your top three Superheroes?
BTW, I should mention that all the numbers I’m talking about include the incredibly hefty BP (buyer’s premium) that Heritage Auctions and other houses charge. The actual bids are lower, but most seasoned auction goers calculate the BP in their total threshold.Oh, there were other bidders past $1.85mm. Kept climbing.

20% for this particular auctionBTW, I should mention that all the numbers I’m talking about include the incredibly hefty BP (buyer’s premium) that Heritage Auctions and other houses charge. The actual bids are lower, but most seasoned auction goers calculate the BP in their total threshold.
should fit in an SFRB. not sure how much the extra insurance would be though.....Just out of curiosity, how does one ship a $1.85m comic book? Does heritage deliver it to their Beverly Hills office for pickup?
