ExplodedHamster 394 Member · Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Might as well add this thread here, as well. Less than a week left on the November auction. Some pretty nice stuff: https://www.certifiedlink.com/Auctions/default.asp?clickType=&TypeRads=all&ord1=5&ord1d=ASC&ord2=4&ord2d=ASC&ord3=0&ord3d=ASC&testName=xyz&top_search_hiddentext=&pg=&control_loc=low&nextsectlow=&nextsectlowval=&nextsect=&nextsectval=&nextsecthold=&nextsectholdval=&nexttype=6&lefthandpick=1&focused=1&code=&beenheredonethat=1&overridesort2default=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small number of stickers have those from when people ripped the sticker off lol. Must have caught part of the box and continued to rip.

CL is a major comic auction house, so presumably they want to keep things consistent with that grade scale for crossovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tear that shit all the way down, fuck it I got Clu Clu land to play damnit! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop me if this sounds familiar, but the founder of ComicLink is Josh Nathanson...

jonebone 1,252 Member · Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well, I must say Bubble Bobble 9.4 / A+ sitting at $4,900 is absolutely absurd. Someone is going to profit nicely from that sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sign Collector Guy 333 Member · Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I checked in on the current bids yesterday. Always curious to see where the SE finishes. Last one on Clink hit 15K. Last I looked the current one was hovering around 8K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone fat fingered and extra 0. If someone is turning down an offer of $4900 to sell their Bubble Bobble in that grade, I really am at a loss for words.

They were going for $1500 before the boom early in the year, doesn’t seem all that unrealistic an ask at this point. That 9.8 probably clears 10k on HA. Guess it depends on how you value 9.4 versus 9.8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it depends on how you value 9.4 versus 9.8. I've had some high sales this year too that I would never expect to repeat. Put another way, do you want to be buying a mid 9 Bubble Bobble at above 4k? At fair prices you should have no preference one way or other. At high prices you'd rather be seller, at low prices you'd rather be buyer. At above 3k I'd rather be the seller 100 times out of 100 on a mid 9 Bubble Bobble. It wont last. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Startyde 174 Member · Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I feel like I woke up in a different universe, are Punch Outs expected to be 15k these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty 187 Member · Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Punch outs are hot for sure. There’s been five or so sales at five figure amounts in the last couple weeks alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty 187 Member · Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I wonder what happened with the 22k matte 6.0 in the last auction (22k) versus this auction (3.9k) lol. If that’s the same copy they took an 80% bath. Market came down to reality on that fast. Cibs on those titles have always been plentiful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the same copy they took an 80% bath. Market came down to reality on that fast. Cibs on those titles have always been plentiful I don't really like to laugh at anyone losing significant money. But yes, all of the stickers to the moon crowd should get a nice reality check after this round of results. To be fair it was not the same copy and the box was beat on that. The other 6.0 had a nicer box and box is essentially 95% of the value here. This 6.0 had a poor box with nicer insides to boost score. It displays the inherent problem with CIB grading on outliers like this where really all you care about is box. With a sealed game a 6.0 is a 6.0, perhaps wear in various spots but similar amounts of wear. On a CIB game two 6.0 games could be entirely different, as the case here. IMHO, I was shocked the first sticker sale ever cleared $10k and then the $22k result was just stupidly absurd. I still thought the poor Mario would clear $5k based on the prior hype but $3900 is where it is. I personally would peg that one closer to $2.5-$3.5k at the moment, $3.9 seems like slight overpay but steep discount to prior sale as noted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the $22k copy in the banner on their website and this one looked a little rougher, but I wasn't going to bid more than I felt comfortable with and risk having it resell at $500 or something which would be my luck.

Although same 6.0 grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
