In “Wealth You Can Hold,” WorthPoint founder, president, and CEO Will Seippel tracks notable results in the tangible-asset market to help collectors and buyers make more confident decisions. On October 15, 2026, WorthPoint added 86,687 transactions to its Price Guide. Those sales represented $14,857,227.56 in tangible-asset value, with an average lot value of $171.39.
At Ewbank’s October 7, 2026, auction, a 2014 BMW M5 30 Jahre limited edition led the featured cars, selling for $44,367.32. Its TwinPower Turbo engine, upgrades, and 0-to-62-mph time of 3.9 seconds made it a strong value. A white 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible sold for $22,000 despite 112,000 miles. An unusual 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon brought $16,268.02 with 41,870 miles; its presence at a British auction was especially noteworthy.
Hake’s October 8, 2026, sale featured a CGC 9.8 copy of Green Lantern/Green Arrow No. 87, cover-dated December 1971–January 1972, for $6,300. Its significance comes from John Stewart’s first appearance, Guy Gardner’s second, and Elliot S. Maggin’s first story, making it an important Bronze Age key issue.
Morphy’s July 16, 2025, auction produced two memorable gasoline collectibles. A colorful Tropical Gas globe lens, featuring the logo, sun, palm trees, and brand name, sold for $28,800; the brand’s history remains somewhat mysterious. The top result was a round Musgo Gasoline porcelain sign reading “Michigan’s Mile Maker,” issued in the 1920s by the Muskegon Oil Co. Although one side was damaged and the other graded roughly 7.5, its rarity helped it reach $79,950. WorthPoint also added 1,651 Morphy lots totaling $2,060,430.60 from sales dating back to June 2025.
In Rago’s October 7, 2026, Modern Art and Sculpture sale, two glazed stoneware works by Toshiko Takaezu (1922–2011) commanded premium prices. A 23.5-inch gourd-form piece sold for $115,200, while a 27-inch oblong drum-form piece brought $108,800. Numerous abstract works also performed strongly, helping the sale total $2,037,254.
The Asset Alerts section highlighted three additional results: Edwardian-style satinwood-and-marquetry display cabinets from Sheppard’s Irish Auction House for $11,186; 12 assorted boxes of ornate vintage Christmas decorations, apparently from the 1960s, from McLaren Auction Services for $1,800, or about $15 per ornament; and Victorian silver-mounted frosted-glass askos-form wine jugs from Doyle Auctioneers & Appraisers for $14,630.
Across these results, rarity, condition, significance, and distinctive design continue to shape prices. The report also notes the scale of WorthPoint’s database, giving collectors historical context and a broader view of how values are changing across vehicles, comics, advertising signs, decorative arts, and fine art markets.
