You mean the variant right. I am just talking about the normal Rust issue. 

I actually have both covers and didn't know it until a few months ago.

Both the LE and reg version dropped significantly since they were first exploited 3 years ago while MS13 has been growing in value for well over a decade (a 9.8 MS13 regular non negative error version sold on 2017-07-26 for $775)

There is no reason why the former will outperform the latter at this point based on what we know

I may have been the last legit bid @ $236 on that auction.. I want a copy but for $300+ keep it.. I wish more copies would become available to flood the market and drop the price..

I never said outperform I just said room to grow. I look at appreciation. MS13 has gone out of my buying zone. 
The other book hasn't I will buy them cheap in high grade all day long. I wont buy MS13 anymore because it too
costly and for me it doesn't meet my risk reward threshold anymore.

I am not discouraging MS13 in anyway I just think its past the investment level for me.

Well, just for the record, I paid $2559 with shipping for 76 copies.  The books are in pretty darn good condition.

Are these for slabbing / flipping or do you just really love X-O Manowar #1?

Just thought I'd save everyone else the trouble as well as letting the people that originally commented on it be updated.........

Well played, sir. I wish we knew what happened with all the other lots that people bought (especially that NYX 3!).

Nice to see that work out for you.

Looks like 33 9.8 and 27 9.6

He bought 76. Wonder if the others were unslabworthy or lower than 9.6. Any of them get a press? 

[jsilverjanet]

He may have prescreen himself and only sent in the best 60

[Logan510]

Doesn't seem worth the effort financially unless he's really into having a ton of X-O #1's 

I guess if he can get the current GPA for all the 9.8's it'd be worth it.

Definitely money to be made if close to GPA is achieved. Lot of work though.

31 at 9.8

27 at 9.6

17 rejected at the 9.6 pre-screen.

1 of the original 76 was a junk issue that I presume the LCS who sold them picked from his bin and threw into the lot.  That was not submitted.

Yeah but the low liquidity of that many copies means the profit he does make will end up being dwarfed by the potential profit he could have seen through diversifying inventory. Even if he blows out copies at low prices initially to recoup some of his investment quickly he poisons the perceived value of his remaining stock.

Really?  77% of the lot came back slabbed and it's still not worth it?  Jeez, tough crowd.    By my reckoning, at current average sale prices, I'm up over $2500.

But yes, I actually am enjoying just having a ton of X-O #1s.  It's my favorite title.

I'm not in any hurry.  Eventually, I'll put them up for sale one at a time; no intention of flooding the market.
