The Lost Batman Grail: Auditing Mastro's Legendary Detective Comics #27 Auction

Rob Larsen — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:50:59 +0000

We are going deep into the archives to audit one of the most notable chapters in comic auction history. This Tuesday, I am firing up the high-resolution overhead scanner to take you live inside the printed pages of the infamous October 2001 MastroNet (Mastro Auctions) catalog. Long before the FBI investigations and the full-scale sports memorabilia scandal brought Bill Mastro’s empire down, this elite catalog played host to some of the absolute highest-tie comic book grails in existence—including the legendary, missing Detective Comics #27 graded CGC 8.0.

The "Road to Insanity": Inside Wizard's Legendary 1994 Stephen Platt Prophet Contest

Rob Larsen — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:17:56 +0000

If you collected comics in July of 1994, you remember exactly where you were when "Splatt Mania" took over the industry.

Following the jaw-dropping $137,000 sale of a Stephen Platt Prophet promotional image at Heritage Auctions, I wanted to take a nostalgic trip down the "Road to Insanity." In this video, we dig into the full glory of Wizard Magazine #35 and the infamous "Extreme Wizard Prophet Contest"—where fans were tasked with trying to count every single flying shell casing exploding out of Platt's hyper-detailed, maximalist splash pages.

Secret Comics: Live CGC Census Archeology

Rob Larsen — Tue, 26 May 2026 19:00:51 +0000

We are doing a deep-dive CGC Census audit into millions in stolen pedigree comics. Following the recent alerts from Metropolis/ComicConnect regarding a massive cache of stolen high-grade pedigree books, I noticed something interesting. Some of these books were previously unknown and not all of them were from single book CGC Submissions… What else is out there?

This Wednesday, I am going live to kick off a collaborative, data-driven research project. Using a custom clickable tracking list I built we are going to look directly at the CGC Census data and verification strings in real time to see what we can find.

Finding a GHOST Variant! My Wicked Comic Con Haul

Rob Larsen — Mon, 25 May 2026 18:50:03 +0000

I am officially back in the box-diving game. I spent the weekend at Wicked Comic Con here in Boston, and while I didn't walk in with a rigid want list, I walked out with a stellar mix of raw grails, rare 1970s price variants, and pristine newsstand keys.

In this video, I'm sharing my final con haul and breaking down the market logic behind what I picked up—and the one major Golden Age Schomburg key (Exciting Comics #59) I almost brought home to test out a grand conservation experiment.

Raw & Unedited: Reacting to My 18-Year-Old Thoughts on Superhero Comics

Rob Larsen — Sat, 23 May 2026 18:36:04 +0000

Before we kick off our first official research stream next Wednesday, I wanted to do a raw, unedited technical dry run in Riverside to test the layout. What better way to do it than by reacting to a guide on "Collecting Superhero Comic Books" that I wrote all the way back in 2008? Let's take a time machine back to a pre-MCU, pre-bubble market and see how much the hobby—and my own commentary—has shifted over the last 18 years.
