Batman Black & White Collection Shows Mixed Signals On VeVe Market Movement

Old & New Batman B&W Items Showing Quite Differing Trends

The Batman Black & White collection was leveling off during the first and second weeks of April, 2022. But heading into Easter weekend, we are seeing the classic items, not the new Series 6 items, taking a dip on the Market.

If I had to guess and didn’t know any better, I would have thought the new Series 6 B&W items would be the ones to take a dip at this time while the classic items held strong. But we are witnessing the exact opposite, as the new Series 6 items are showing the greatest strength while the classic NFTs lose ground.

Coming in at a lowly $4,500 is the #100 Todd McFarlane Batman, down over $500 in the last few days. Recently, I reported that holding the line at $5,000 would be indicative of a market bottom being in. But “The Todd” has not held that value as we see.

The #21 Jim Lee Joker checks in at $624, breaking a previous solid $700 floor. Right now, we are seeing well over 20 listings under that previous floor, which tells me the distribution phase, where prices continue to fall, isn’t quite over yet.

The Brian Bolland Penguin has dipped to $509 after a strong showing for the first two weeks of April at over $600. Again, this is evidence that my prior call that the bottom was in, was in fact wrong.

Last item of the four within the Season 1 list that we are focusing on would be the #42 Darwyn Cooke Batman, showing a weak price of $70 after holding strong at $80 and over for the early days of the month. Darwyn Cooke shows about 15 listings below the prior base at this time.

Moving on to the newer items, we are seeing the “CryptoPro Batman” (Doug Mahnke Batman) with a slight settling in price down to $74. For as brief of a time it has been on the market, I’m surprised this price has held. We are coming off an average floor price of $80 last week. I’m impressed that a new item could hold this strong.

The popular Jim Lee Batman V3 comes in at a solid $60, not slipping one bit after slowly working its way up from $45 after the drop. I think this is very telling. Don’t be surprised if this one gets out of reach within the next few months.

The Rare is the only other one of the new set that isn’t on the rise, coming in at a price of $62.50. But this is only down from an average price of $65 over the past couple of weeks. However, we see the Ultra Rare Rafael Grampa Batman impressing with a price of $202, edging up and over the $200 barrier.

While I’m a little disappointed to see the Season one classic items continue to slip, it is very reassuring watching the performance of the new Series 6 items during a time that the overall market is still in a downtrend. I’ll be keeping my eyes on this new set, and watching to see if it continues to diverge.
