Important Iron Fist 14 sale sets record

CGC boardie Keldog sent me a message about an important sale of an exceptionally high-grade Iron Fist 14 35 cent variant.  High-grade dealer Greg Reese's Rare Comics sold this CGC 9.2 copy of this key bronze-age issue.  The sales site shows the comic as sold with the price shown as $6000.  GPAnalysis reports the final sale as $5600.  Since the last reported sale of a CGC 9.2 Iron Fist 14 was $4100, this is a new record for the book.  This sale amount is also higher than the last reported sale of one of the two 9.4 copies in existence in 2006 for $5100.  Your guess is as good as mine, but this sales implies a five figure value for a 9.4 copy in today's market.

Kid Colt 219 ebay sale

A couple blogs ago, I mentioned that a great variant hunter had found a lot with at least two Kid Colt 35 cent variants.  Well the second Kid Colt auction ended and again produced expected results.  $413.28 for what could only be described as a Poor to Fair copy.  I don't think there are any other bronze age comics which would sell for this kind of money in this condition except for 35 cent price variants.  In fact, I am not sure that there are many silver age comics that would sell for this kind of money in this condition.  A poor Amazing Fantasy 15 which is the key silver age comic and the first appearance of Spider-Man would sell for between $1000 and $1500.
