AGGIEZ Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm in. Love this copy of this comic. I miss her... Alawson453 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furystorm Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 There two high grade 2's on ebay. One 9.8 and 9.6. I talked to the seller about the 9.6 and I think the price was around $250. I have been thinking about getting the 1 cgc 9.6 auto and sketched one on ebay. Has been there for a while really firm on price but would be a great match with the primer 2. Grendel 2 not Primer 2 above. Might the best chance to pick up a really nice copy. Picked up a primer 5 just this past week looks very nice could grade really well. Been watching them both since they showed up. The 9.8 is from the notoriously overpriced seller, unfortunately. I even contacted him twice, but he won't budge. Just can't bring myself to go that high, especially when a 1 in 9.8 went for $445 recently... My search continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion HQ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I knew I saw a thread for a Primer Club on here previously. I'm in the Club finally! grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whocares Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) The census is light on that one so it's giving me fits trying to complete the set, and is the reason I've included 9.6 in my search... Trying to complete mine as well with the elusive Grendel #2 so feel your pain. Edited August 27, 2013 by whocares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erazer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Bumping an old thread for a new member of the club. Purchased raw in 8.0 for $50. Pressed and subbed. Was disappointed in the PQ, but the grade is decent. Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woregul Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Bumping an old thread. Here is my early all-SS Comico Primer/Grendel set. The Primer 2 is a little lower grade than I wanted, but it does match nicely with the Grendels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F For Fake Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nice! One of my all time favorite books. An awesome copper key that you really don't see all of the time. Picked this one up a couple of months ago. Had planned to get it slabbed, but with the new case shenanigans I'm content to sit on it for the time being. Nicest raw copy I've owned.

comiconxion Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It was rumored years ago that Primer #2 was reprinted without any kind of designation that there was a second printing (similar to Shuriken #1). Has anyone ever been able to identify differences in copies that may support this theory? With Shuriken #1 there are some differences on the front cover that are easily recognizable.

Schmakt Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I can't remember if I joined this club or not... Picked up this copy from a local Con in the early 00's (I think)... Got it signed by Matt (along with Grendel 1-3) at HeroesCon in... '08? I think... but did not, obviously, go for the SS. I never would have expected this to come back 9.8... pretty happy and also pretty annoyed with myself. C'est la vie.

Really nice on the outside, and I bought it as 9.4 only to find a 3/4" tear on the interior. The 5 seems like the more difficult copy than than the 2, really... this is very nice. I feel like spine bends actually show up better on this gold than the black... so... again... awesome. Parabellum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get mine slabbed, but I doubt it's any better than a 9.4. One of my all time favorite books. Love Wagner's funky manga-esque art of this period, and still one of the all time great characters and series! Schmakt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfund Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Bought this new off the shelf at Comics Nuff Said in Charlotte back in the day. Loved the Evangeline character. Slabbed it because I thought it would be the highest graded, it is - one of 2 at 9.6. Only 4 graded. Never pressed. Bottom left corner is fine, the picture makes it look rough, it's not. I would sell it a gadzillion dollars, maybe... nah. Edited December 19, 2018 by boatfund Jasonmorris1000000, Schmakt and Parabellum 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmakt Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The rest of the Comico Grendel set... The #1 is signed on the first page... all at whatever HeroesCon that was!

Koch warehouse had a box full of them a few years ago blowing them at $75 a pop. Not to suggest that there were 2nd prints, but that definitely is unusual for a book with an otherwise known low print run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabellum Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Finally got all four. I think a clean and press should bump these up to 9.8. Especially Primer 2 and Grendel 1. I think it’s worth a shot considering I didn’t spend that much on them. ADAMANTIUM and F For Fake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
