Thanks, I found 2 copies at Terrific Con for $15 each...both came back 9.8  I didn't know what to price it at, a 9.4 went for $309 on GPA, So I figured a 9.8 was at least a grand, sold for $1200 4 hours after it was listed.  Buyer paid too.  

Great work! (thumbsu

Must have started the whiskey drinking early that day  (:

The people that submit 1,000's of books obviously get many more 9.9's and better chances at a 10.  I have never had a 10 in the 8 years of submitting books.

It was $50+ from second party sellers when it came out. Looks like you can still get it for $60 on the bay. I think it might have been $25 at the show?

My humble opinion is that foil books are a fad.  I do think they are harder to get in higher grade as the foil covers seem more susceptible to creases.

Its a hard comparison. Keep in mind for years the Chromium books didn't sell for a whole lot and then they just blew up.

This book was already well known and collectible.

 

I think its a perfect comparison. Both ASM300 & Spiderman 1 were known books that came out in the late 80/90. The chromium editions came out 10/12 years after they were well established/quite collectible. Tec880 seems to be selling for 50, and as @ygogolak mentioned, its close to what the retailer was asking for cover. 

Im not suggesting it would fetch 10 times the price in the future, that remains to be seen, mainly depending on demand for the book and future reproduction of said variant. 

But based on current demand and low print run of 1,000, I can see how it could get to those levels

Problem is Fan Expo never said how many were printed. There were plenty to be had at $50 when it came out.

I wonder if DC authorized this at all 

I would assume DC authorized it. Fan Expo gets DC exclusives regularly. Rarely do they post an amount being sold.

Titans is a TV show on the new DC Universe platform.

Yes, I get that...but the analogy is still valid...looks horrible. 

I like that they're all kids - I think it's promising from the trailer . . . but hey, wtf do I know?
