I think I've seen DC done this with Vertigo titles a few years ago.

I hope it does go beyond $200. But, i predict $140.

Bidding will get frantic with 20 sec to go

Batman #1 (2011) VF/NM 9.0 SOLD for $80 http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=24674837

Wow! Can't wait for all my bats 1 slabs to come back.

#6

Thanks

Is #5 the first ranger or will that be 6?

Haven't got my copies yet till end of the month

Am I too late to the partee?

Anyone got the numbers for number crunchers?

Nowadays it's like flag sparring

I missed the days when I was younger and sparring in the ring.

In the foreseeable short term, every image #1 will be sold in the 20k copies and will experience a 40% drop. Speculators running amuck for #1 not wanting to miss out on the next day men, Todd, clone, etc... For every #1 that succeed there are 10 others that will be in 0.50 bins

Like a rock, it falls

She's got some guns

It's the 90's Amanda Waller. The new Amanda is thin, athletic and sexy

Harbinger #1 CGC 9.8 @ $405 & 21 bids.

New Mutants #87 CGC 9.8 @ $170 & 12 bids.

Deadpool #1 (1997) CGC 9.8 @ $150 & 3 bids.

 

Time to submit my Harbinger??!!??

 

Not at all.

 

VH1 books are at the bottom cycle in their valuations, pretty much all across-the-board. There was an overwhelming sentiment the relaunch would increase demand and value for the originals, the opposite happened.

 

 

Hmmmm.

 

So say that mine is a 9.8 (no clue if it is), raw it's what, like $50-$80?

 

Wouldn't it be worth it for the $200 price jump, or more??

 

Or are you saying "that's it", as in, that $200-$400 price is going to go down significantly?

 

Well there's been a lot of discussion that with the 'softening' in grading of Harbinger 1 over the years, a 9.8 is a bit more common. Not to sound like a , but under these old standards with CGC it is very unlikely your book would grade 9.8. Check the census, that's why the first few copies sold for over 2k. Then it churned down in and around $1,000, eventually sliding to $500, before now settling where it is now, around $400 mark. It has never hit $200 (aside from maybe one fluke sale).

 

I would agree that at $400 or so, it's not that bad of a purchase (I personally don't collect slabs), it more than likely won't go much lower, the floor is in - but the upside is very limited as well.

Super unlikely it will get back to $1k. But I digress; I've already beaten this subject to death on the VF boards.

 

If there's a thread on moderns that are cooling off (good time to buy), throw a dart at most VH1 books, and even some of the HTF Acclaims.

 

No, my question came down to if it was a good idea to get my raw copy graded if it has 9.8 potential.

My rule of thumb is to slab books that are consistently selling above $100. There are a number of those these days but I only slab those I feel have long term potential to increase. i.e. ASM 361, NM 87. Just sent a dozen to get graded. I also have 6 Todd #1 at CGC as I feel it has legs.

If it weren't for speculators NWM would be stuffed in the back issue boxes with no cbldf, no multiple prints and no other variants and may have been cancelled at about issue 5 anyway.

Good riddance

Good things happen because of the good deeds done by people like you. And we need more good deeds

Congrats to Todd's creative team. Here's to Todd getting as popular as TMNT!!!!

I got a bunch of #1 safely put away.

Got lucky because I didn't feel the urge to sell anything since feb. the only issue I don't have is #3 for some reason. I must have forgotten to order that month.

** please don't pm me to buy. I have been exhausted traveling the past few months and am currently in Montana

Wowzers!

Keep the report coming whetteon. I always check your site to get a snapshot of the activities on the Bay. You provide a useful tool to gauge the trend on the Bay.

Appreciate what you're doing.

Thanks, Whet!

Looks like Deadpool has been on a tear lately. I hope that is the case so I can start dumping my hoards the past few years. hehe

WTH! You can get 9.8 slabbed for that!

My best find was a 9.2 GSX1 for $3.95 at a store. Just walked in and saw it right there in front of me with a price tag. I had to do a double-check, thoroughly inspected it to see if it was real.

Then another one in a long box that I bought for $150. This one was lower grade 4.0

hehe

Matt Kindt's art, to me, is timeless. Sort of like the classic New Yorker magazine.

Would love to own some of his artwork. But that would mean I'd have to sell my kids and sacrifice my other hobbies. Too many expenses
