Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay 33 33

[Aweandlorder]

Maybe they all finally realized they have to start buying XMen Annual 14 

 

But in all seriousness, in a world where MTU141 is closing at 350.00+++ I wouldnt be surprised at anything anymore

Condition is everything   

That condition is pretty good, atleast a NM-.

 

Regardless, most of the Xmen 266 sold the last 3 days range from 50-60s... including this NM+ which sold for 68

Absolutely.  Nowhere near NM (IMHO).

[WolverineX]

Regardless, I don't see X 266 breaking past 100 consistently the past few weeks.  The only reason is I've had my eye on this issue very closely the last few months and they seem to be dropping in price IMO. 

Who knows, maybe it's breaking 100 on some other websites I haven't checked.

I believe the term "getting close" was used. Case in point:

Just reviewing the rest of the sales, that seems to be an outlier compared to the rest NM sold the last few days... 

the other NM copies sold on the same day around 60-70

None of those books look "high grade" to me, so I'm not surprised they didn't go for that much. Just because someone on eBay calls it a 9.6 does not make it so. Even with the poor scans / pics, I can see enough defects that would make me not buy them.

Well that's subjective, I think they are high grade. Going through the last few MONTHS sales on ebay,  X266  value seems relatively stable.  Nothing is objectively showing me that the book is getting hot. 

I'm done arguing about this anymore because it seems like a lot of people are set on the idea that it already is.   I still stand behind my opinion and it's not changing unless I see a lot of higher sales.

UXM 266 has been an steady seller in 8.0 - 9.2 at $120-150 raw the past year to two at conventions up here. All of my slabbed 9.6s sold for $200 - $250 the past year as well.

What's your eBay ID? If those are your idea of HG I want to make sure I don't buy from you.

Some books I am seeing moving well currently. No real surprises overall, but some books are really starting to move.

ASM 316 - This book is on fire passing $50 raw easily now in high grade.

X-Men 266 getting close $100 raw now surprised to see it going this high.

Marvel Age 82 - All over the place, but is selling well with high sales at around $30

ASM 344 - A once $15 book is now approaching $30-40 in NM+ raw

Wolverine 88 - Finally this book is seeing some attention. Couple of sales over $20 raw now.

Macross 1 - 1st Robotech - $20-40 in high grade.

Superman Annual 11 - I don't get this book, but others do it sells easily for $50 raw in NM.

Silver Surfer 44 and 45 still pulling $15-20 an issue.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice list. I noticed that ASM 316 jumping too. Been on the lookout for NM copies but they are hard to come by for anything less than $30. Guess even that's a good deal now.

?? What's going on with ASM 316? Why the demand?

1st Venom Cover?  It's got that classic McFarlane cover going for it and with the dark cover it's toughish in high grade

[chrisco37]

Yeah, it's the first Venom cover (well, I guess he's technically on 315 too).   But 316 is THE Venom cover.  It's always been a great cover and one of the most memorable of Todd's Spidey run.

Don't worry.  I won't sell to you.

The first two have poor pictures, but all three look to be high grade. They may not be high enough grade for you, but only the first one looks like it may fall out of the high grade range (upon a much better viewing).

But the one he posted before these three, with the torn bottom staple area (and much more)... Then again, that piece of junk sold for almost $50, which definitely says "heating up" to me.

Venom may be on the cover of 315, but it's certainly not a "Venom cover."

What would you grade them at?
