Here are the highlights for the May ComicLink sales. Since ComicLink does not currently report its sales to GPA, this information is important. As far as I can tell, six books were sold on ComicLink in May, three at auction and three by direct listing and in my opinion all six were bargains. ComicLink has always been a surprisingly good venue for variant collectors. The quality of all six of these books is definately Tier One with all six at or close to the top of the Condition Census (highest five graded books).
Iron Fist 14 9.2 OW/W (only 1 9.4 higher) $4625
Iron Man 102 9.0 OW/W (highest graded) $170
Star Wars 1 9.4 White (only one 9.6 higher) $4644 (a reserve might have been in order on this one, because this price is lower than GPA for 9.2s)
X-Men 99 9.2 OW/W (only two 9.4s higher) $825
Captain America 210 9.4 W (single highest graded) $275
Fantastic Four 185 9.6 W (single highest graded) $190
The last two books were in the May auction along with the Star Wars 1. I was traveling and some of the other variant collectors must have missed the auction because those books were bargains.
I agree, the price for that Star Wars #1 is definitely low.
