RockMyAmadeus Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah, there is a thumb crease at the bottom of the front cover. Several ncb stress marks along the spine. BAM! There's your 9.4. Yeah, about that.... Send me a pm if you know a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicartfan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The price keeps creeping upward. I wouldn't wait too long. I agree. I waited, thinking...Oh, there will be plenty of them around. At the time it was only a hundred dollar book. Then....Bang !...It jumped to 250-300.....I ended up shelling out $300 for my 9.8, but I suppose it could have been worse. Seems to be picking up steam.

Wonder what a 9.9 would bring, being that there are none yet? I've had some sweet copies, but probably not 9.9 worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicartfan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I could see a 9.9 being a $2500-$3000 book easy....I would love to see one if it ever showed up. I know my 9.8 isn't a 9.9 incognito. It has a couple of minor flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphman13 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 A 9.8 closed on CLink auction last night for $350. Not sure if a 9.9 would go for $2500+ but $1,000 is very possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicartfan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 $350 for a 9.8 ?...That's the most I've seen so far. If a 9.9 showed up and it was the only one, I think $2500 is on the low side. Look at some examples : The last Walking Dead 1 9.9 sold for $10K, despite there being more than one. The first New Mutants 98 in 9.9 sold for $12K, even though 9.8s are in the $300-350 range. The first 9.9 BA 12, if one ever showed up would be big bucks. There's no shortage of Harley Quinn fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphman13 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I was not aware there was such a huge jump in sales prices from a 9.8 to a 9.9 on modern keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I was not aware there was such a huge jump in sales prices from a 9.8 to a 9.9 on modern keys. A fool and his money.... Seriously though, I've been rather surprised by the jump recently for this book. I just bought a ton of 90s overstock that's been sitting in storage for 20 years, so I'm hoping to find a few.

I'm not surprised about her growing popularity, and it probably be a $3000K book in 9.9. Good luck finding those. That'll be a sweet score. They are still hiding in dollar boxes for the moment, but like NM 98 it won't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, copper/modern books can go for huge amounts in 9.9 over there 9.8 counterparts. There are slight differences in the two , for sure. I've seen enough of them to tell, and some people would see a stress mark, or a fleck of paint to be negligible, but some just want the very best at any cost. It's just a different kind of collector. To each their own. I understand both points of view. Maybe they wipe their aZz with hundred dollar bills, or have OCD issues. Who knows? It certainly makes me hunt them down for a nice jackpot. I find it soothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vader2001 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Good luck. Hope you score. Thanks! I think it will be at least a 9.6 I am going to fast track it, along with a few other books. I will post it when it gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer (thumbs u I own a copy myself but I just don't think it's worth the current going prices. Same with NM98 and all the other mass produced 90's books. I remember seeing all these books on the stands as a teenager and it all seems like yesterday, so maybe it's because I'm not thinking that it's been 20 years and over now so nostalgia is kicking in for some people.. I understand the demand is there, but will that ever exceed the supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the demand is there, but will that ever exceed the supply? Given the popularity of Harley Quinn as well as the fixture she's become in the DC Universe, I think BA 12 is somewhat of an undervalued key book, particularly high grade copies. Graded CGC 9.8 copies only surface for sale every so often and for being a fairly common book, there's only around 100 in 9.8 with none graded higher. I think demand will generally exceed the supply for this book in high grade and I wouldn't be surprised to see the market value continue to trend upward for that reason.
