Having said that, if someone wants to sell me JIM#112 NM for $438 I'll gladly take it off your hands..if you have 2 or 3 of them I'll take those too.
: )
Yes, someone needs to monitor "Recent Value Changes" and make sure the price seems reasonable before just entering the info. If the value seems odd then more investigation should be required. You can lose reputation very quickly if you enter prices that seem way off on even a somewhat infrequent basis. Generally i find the the price changes quite good on this website. I'm not nearly as serious a collector as many here but I know Thor comics pretty well so the change caught my eye right away.
This is pretty serious money now. We can't just arbitrarily put some number because we got the info from one area and assume that is the going price. In this case someone should have questioned the price first before entering it. Very Key and rare issue of that grade like this one has to be looked at more carefully.
I'm in the financial industry. If a stock drops off or rises significantly there has to be some materially serious news. Obviously comics books are a different beast and one has to expect some serious price swings as comic book prices rely almost solely on popularity and scarcity, but anything greater than 15 to 20% change in price should warrant some explanation of some sort just so people don't have a complete cardiac arrest.
Thanks for the input everyone

And on further checking Heritage, I realized that there are many more recent sales than I had at first spotted, including these (the only ones at levels comparable to 9.4):
a 9.0, just four weeks ago, for $60,000
a 9.0 in February for 66,000
a 9.4 in February for 144,000
So, yes, there might be a slight downward trajectory -- the 9.0 sale in August was 9% below the one in February.
But, sorry, no way that 42,000 for 9.4 (which should be substantially higher than a 9.0) can be even remotely correct...
(by the way, my follow-up post came up as "guest" instead of "stephanm". But I remain signed in... odd...)
