Sorry, I thought this was a board for discussing CGC Copper Age books? I have seen many links to many relevant ebay listings posted everywhere. Thanks for being a nanny. I won't post here again.

"$200-$225" compared to prices on MyComicshop.com or the general ebay market, last I checked, which was a week or two ago. Not trying to blow hot air

Again, thanks for all the replies and differing opinions on my original post regarding the subscription copy. One more Ghost Rider-related item: I've got this 9.8 CGC-graded Ghost Rider (1990) #1 that's been burning up my shelf. The original buyer flaked on me, so it's been packed and ready to ship for a few weeks. These normally go for about $200-$225, but I have listed it very reasonably on my ebay store in hopes of finding it a good home soon? I've also got a near mint copy of Ghost Rider #93 in stock right now, also priced nicely. Perfect corners and just a couple of visible gloss creases along the spine.

Thanks for the replies! I will probably keep it bagged and sell on ebay at a later date. Re: 30,000 copies Yes, that figure is a bit high. I looked it up on the Comichron Archive, and sales for Ghost Rider #93 were about 18,000 in the direct market in North America (ranking #163 on the Top 300 chart in December 1997)

There are some copies of Ghost Rider #93 listed on ebay right now in the $50-$75 range, but I have never personally had success trading raw NM copies for more than $35. There were around 30,000 copies originally printed. Issue #93 was not intended to be the 'final' issue, and #94 was solicited but canceled (and then finally printed in 2007 around the time that the Ghost Rider film came out).

GHOST RIDER #93 Sealed Subscription Copy Longtime collector here, first-time posting on these boards. I grew up reading comics in the Copper Age and these days I'm keen on collecting and trading final issues, so when I came across this sealed subscription copy of GHOST RIDER #93 just a few weeks ago, I was somewhat stunned. I've run across old, sealed Marvel subscription bag copies before, but I've never encountered such a rare, low-print issue sealed in a 20+ year old subscription sleeve. After some digging, I turned up Ghost Rider's final circulation statement (which appears in the letters column of Ghost Rider #92), stating about 920 subs at that time, so it's reasonable to imagine that fewer than 900 subscription copies of Ghost Rider #93 made it out. How many of those are still sealed today, I wonder? Probably not many, I'm guessing. The comic itself appears to be in roughly VF condition with a few visible hairline spine stress marks courtesy of the U.S. Post Office. The backing card has no signs of damage, but there is visible "browning" along the edges of the card. I know that these types of polybags were not meant for long-term storage and the board is probably printed on the lowest grade 90s cardstock. Any comments? I'd hate to destroy a rare preserved item by opening the sleeve, but at the same time I want to do what's best for the comic! (Apologies if I am not posting to the correct forum! I thought about pitching to 'Ask CGC', but figured I'd start here. All comments are appreciated!)
