Rags #1 pre-AP version still hot. I'm selling another copy (lowest grade of the ones I had with a clear CBC on the spine) and it's at $360 with 3 days left to go. That's also the highest price so far other than the Lim variant.

Sell em while they're hot. 165 copies are about to be shipped out and at least half of those people are going to flip them.

That's the Lim variant that's getting more copies released. The standard pre-AP version just has the regular cover minus the AP masthead. From what Brian has said on his patreon & twitter, he's only offering up the Lim variant. He hasn't mentioned anything about releasing more copies of the standard version tho.

You're right that is the Lim variant but Brian or whoever runs the patreon has made it very clear there are extra "back-issues" and he'll be distributing them to backers. So I would assume more copies are coming of the regular #1 as well.

How do you "bid up" a BIN? Which is what you claimed. Fake BIN pre-sales.

 

You can shill pretty easy by making fake listings, BIN with a new account,  then cancel the item. Ebay still shows it completed, but you can see the buyer pulled out on the "bid" history. I saw it a bunch with EOSV2 copies a while back.

Every sale on eBay could be fake. Unless of course you are the buyer. I simply asked for proof of his claim.

This is my cue to once again remind myself that I had the first 9.8 in the census, which I sold for a couple hundred bucks, which I was very pleased with at the time.

I agree I sold a raw for around $200 and I think it listed for a month before it sold. I thought the book was done. I guess speculators are pushing it up again.

I thought the new foil reprint had muddied the waters a bit, but I guess not.

Who knows. It has always commanded some premium in the run and has been a slow and fairly consistent climber over the years. Those more organic, steady price increases tend to bode well for a modern over the long term.  The fact that it isn't a variant and continues to have fewer blue label 9.8's than many "rare" variants is probably also helping it.

Have there been any reprints that have caused the originals to go down?

Is this possibly a record for a non variant marvel/DC of an a-list character/title? It's not like there was a warehouse fire and 3/4 of the books were destroyed, this book is common enough that I fished 2 nice copies out of the dollar box at the same LCS.

Well, that was a year ago... I guess the answer is "yes"? Walking dead tops it, but it was not an a-list big 2 book (or even a-list for image, yet)

Yes, Walking Dead is a key and has a TV show, so it wouldn't qualify.

As far as a Modern goes, there isn't anything higher in terms of an 'A' cover that isn't a key. This issue is part of a popular modern story arc, but that's it.

Even a key, is there anything? I guess this is a key now, $880 makes it one! Walking dead had 1/3 or so the print run a well, were it a DC book it would be like the D list.

TWD #1, Captain Marvel #14, etc... Traditionally, TEC 880 is not a key. In the new world of comics, I agree, price determines "key" unfortunately.
