Auction Update Review

Rare Book Hub: 56 Auctions Archived, another 49 Upcoming this Week

For the week ended Friday, 14 April 2023, 56 auctions were archived to Rare Book Hub’s Transactions+ database, 1 denominated in Danish krone, 2 in Canadian dollars, 2 in Swiss francs, 2 in Colombian pesos, 13 in euros, 1 in British pounds, and 35 in US dollars.

Turnover this past week was $32,245,163 as 84.9% of all lots changed hands.  There were 17,430 offered and 14,620 transacted.  The average lot sold for $2,206.

There was some comic relief to this week's sales as the highest prices were spent on comic books, with Batman taking 5 of the first 6. Superman has been left in the dust.
