Join us live as we dig deep into auction archives, vintage dealer catalogs, and third-party census data to track down unlogged Silver Age pedigree survivors—plus an open Q&A on market trends, grading, and original art!

Following our recent return to the Silver Age Pedigree Census, we are taking the research desk live. We’ll be cross-referencing auction ledgers, tracking cert migrations across major collections (White Mountain, Pacific Coast, Bethlehem, Savannah, Suscha News, and more), and attempting to identify unconfirmed key books in real time.

Bring your questions! Between census runs, we’ll be opening the floor for a wide-ranging live Q&A covering:

High-grade Silver & Golden Age market trends and recent auction results.

Forensic pedigree tracking, ghost checklists, and CGC census anomalies.

Original comic art valuations, provenance tracing, and conservation.

Slab regrading, pressing, and population shifts.

Whether you have questions about specific issue survival rates, recent auction madness, or just want to hang out while we sift through the archives, jump into the live chat and join the discussion!

Across 16 legendary comic book pedigrees, only FOUR copies of The Brave and the Bold #28 are known to exist—and the highest grade is just an 8.0.

We are officially reviving our long-term research series tracking the Existence and Grades of Silver Age Key Books Across the Major Pedigree Collections!

After a hiatus, we resume our issue-by-issue forensic audit of 32 essential Silver Age keys across 16 historic collections (including White Mountain, Pacific Coast, Bethlehem, Savannah, Northland, and Suscha News).

In this installment, we analyze the brutal scarcity of early Silver Age DC keys by examining the first appearance of the Justice League of America in The Brave and the Bold #28 (1960). While mid-60s Marvel keys routinely surface in 9.4 to 9.8 from multiple hoards, Brave and the Bold #28 highlights the massive historical preservation gap between 1959 DC and the Silver Age Marvel boom.

When Absolute Batman #1 dropped in late 2024 with a 250,000-copy first printing, standard direct-market logic said the secondary market would be flooded.

Instead, it broke the modern comic market.

In this video, we break down the hard data: over 1,480 verified CGC 9.8 sales in 2026, more than half a million dollars in trading volume on Cover A alone, a massive floor sweep on June 25th that doubled prices in 96 hours, and unprecedented 9.9 sales climbing from $9,000 to $12,500 in a month. How did an open-order, $4.99 floppy sitting on shop racks suddenly enter the same tax bracket as Invincible #1, The Walking Dead #1, the Dell'Otto ASM 667, and the Djurdjevic Ultimate Fallout 4?

Let’s look at the numbers.

$73,200 for a newsstand copy in CGC 9.9, multiple $50,000+ modern books in a single auction, and the relentless chase for the gold label.

Following up on our breakdown of the recent Heritage Signature auction, we audit a side of the hobby that drives some collectors crazy and sends registry obsessives into a bidding frenzy: the Top 20 most valuable CGC 9.9 and 10.0 comic book sales of the Copper and Modern ages (1980–present).

Starting at the birth of the Direct Market in 1980—when comic shops began curating and bagging high-grade copies right out of the box—we compile and rank every verified public record for post-1980 books that achieved near-impossible Mint status.
