This week on Auction Action, the Altan Insights team virtually visits Goldin Auctions to review their Comics, Video Game & TCG Elite Auction.

There were four different comic books at the Goldin Auctions that were once owned by investors on Rally. All four received buyout offers that were accepted and the comics reappeared at the Goldin event. All four of the comics sold for a higher price at Goldin and in the case of the Incredible Hulk #181, the Goldin price with buyer's premium was 60% higher than the accepted buyout price. While Goldin does add 20% to the winning bid of each item, the price before the addition of the buyer's premium was still above the accepted buyout amount for each of the comics.


Comic Books

Asset: 1964 Marvel Comics "Daredevil" #1 (CGC 9.0)

Goldin: $24,600

Rally (EXIT): $19,895

Review: The Daredevil #1 exceeded the buyout accepted by Investors on Rally by nearly $5,000. The Goldin comic attracted 20 bids and outpaced a $24,000 sale for a CGC 9.0 at Heritage in June. Marvel’s Daredevil #1 has displayed strong appreciation over the last few years. The highest sale price for a CGC 9.0 example in 2019 was $13,900 and the series now has multiple sales over $20,000.

Asset: 1962 Marvel Comics "Journey Into Mystery" #83 (CGC 9.4)

Goldin: $319,800

Rally (EXIT): $247,570

Review: Seven bidders helped push the 1962 Marvel Journey Into Mystery towards a new record for any CGC 9.4 graded example. The final sale price settled $72,000 higher than the buyout offer accepted by investors on Rally. 

Asset: 1974 Marvel Comics "Incredible Hulk" #181 (CGC 9.8)

Goldin: $87,330

Rally (EXIT): $54,300

Otis: $75,000

Review: Even though the Otis example has gained 114.29% since IPO, it still sits under the final price struck at Goldin’s event. The Goldin comic sold for a 60.8% premium to the buyout price paid for on Rally. The Goldin result is similar to a sale for another CGC 9.8 example that went for $84,000 at Heritage on September 8th. 



Asset: 1963 Marvel Comics "Avengers" #1 (CGC 9.6)

Goldin: $369,000

Rally (EXIT): $309,850

Otis (CGC 9.4): $155,000

Asset: 1962 Marvel Comics "Amazing Fantasy" #15

Goldin (CGC 8.5): $707,250

Rally (EXIT- CGC 8): $229,888.27

Review: Fresh off a record-breaking result at Heritage Auctions just a few weeks prior, the Amazing Fantasy #15 at Goldin set a new record for this iconic series. The final price of $707,250 is the most expensive price ever paid for a CGC 8.5 graded example.

Review: The box know for holding the first-edition Lugia card, Rally IPO’d their sealed booster on April 14th and it is expected to open for trading on October 7th.

Goldin: $14,760

Rally: $19,950

Review: Rally’s Team Rocket Box dropped -30% in its first trading session on June 30th. This auction result is a positive trend for the Team Rocket series as Goldin previously sold a Team Rocket Box for $11,400 in August.

Rally: $100,000

Review: Although not a direct comp, the game signaled a positive move for the Zelda series. Heritage sold a WATA 9.6 A++ Sealed example for $31,200 in April and this Goldin result outpaces any other non-collectors edition result in a 9.6 grade. Rally’s game carries the same grade as the Goldin example although the Rally copy is a collector’s edition copy.
