I wonder if the crypto bros that were buying ASM 300 CGC 9.8s from a LCS owner friend for $10K at the peak are still holding them?

That would be very, very sweet!

and demand is sinking.  ASM Direct Sales 300 in 9.8 will negatively breach 2k before end of year 2024.   2 years ago 9.6 were commanding near 2k.

Spawn 1 what a total frickin' joke. Highest 9.8 and above population ALL-TIME. The 9.8 and 9.9 numbers are staggeringly huge and still growing!!!  There are less grains sand on a beach than copies of Spawn 1 in 9.8+

Wont matter book will still sell for $20 to $25 at shows. I just sold one for $25 last show I think. Now slab buyers can 
punish sellers more due to glut.

Is $103 then an outlier or Downward Sublimation to its new normal FMV?

Its an auction. All that needs to be said.

What is the drop from 2019? You're only going to see negativity and sorrow if you look at everything from the perspective of the acid trip that was the the covid fueled comic buying binge. Historically speaking, things were pretty fantastic selling-wise in 2019 if I remember correctly. And why wouldn't Spawn 1 have insane slabbed numbers? It had a print run of well over 1 million, copies were immediately bagged and boarded and put into storage, etc. and it was a book worth slabbing (although I'd need to check that) very early in CGC times, unlike some of the other million+ copy books of the 90s. I say this as someone who bought his home in late 2006. When things tanked in 2008/9/10 everyone was screaming about the drop from the peak, etc., my dumb mother in law was asking whether I should just give the house back to the bank (she is an insufficiently_thoughtful_person, I actually put a pretty big down payment on it, so that was never happening), I tried to explain that the FMV was now what I had paid in 2006 so I didn't really care that much, indeed, I was happy to refinance down from a 6.5% mortgage to 4% and the city stopped raising my property taxes for a year.

It seems to sell for $130-165 in 9.8 and $75-80 in 9.6. I'm gonna be honest, that still feels like plenty for that book, I don't care what chuckleheads were paying 2 years ago, smoking crack/stimis makes people do silly things.

People are paying $600-$700 for "rare" newsstands  which is even more crazy

Spawn 1. The newsstand version "only" had a print run of like 200K. With that said, maybe they're a challenge in 9.8?

Fantastic. McFarlane is signing at the Calgary Expo next week. I have a couple of Spawn #1 newsstands that will be priced at market. Hopefully they sell.

I sold a nice raw copy yesterday for $30 which had been sitting around for awhile.  Book just has too nice a cover to sit forever.

I hope Spawn is still selling.  I've got a run from 1-113 and other Spawn titles (Curse Of, Sam & Twitch, etc...) I'm looking to move!
