Reasonable Price for ASM 361 0

[Heavy3PO]

So at C2E2 I saw prices I consider redonk for raw ASM 361s, I'm talking 50 to 75 for comics that were not flawless. So in much the same vein as the NM 98 thread, what all do you think is a fair price for the first carnage, both raw and 9.8 slabbed?

If GPA represents "reasonable", then the 58 copies of CGC 9.8 sold in the last 90 days average $150.

 

People can ask whatever price they want for raw or slabbed... but until it sells, it isn't "market price".

50 is probably about as cheap as youll see this book at shows anymore.

At the Calgary show this weekend I was selling copies that were 8.5/9.0 for $50 raw, and had my 9.6 go at $150 fairly fast.

 

My 9.4 copy of #362 sold for $50 as well......

Also of note is this book has very recently started to trend upwards, so it may be better to pick up a copy sooner rather than later.

So $200ish for a 9.8 off ebay isnt insanity? Last summer the prices seemed much more like 15-30 for NM raws. Is this uptick just from Sinister Six movie buzz?

Carnage is rumored to be in the Venom movie

With a print run over 750k I wouldn't pay more than 6 bucks for a nice raw copy.

I watched a raw sell at C2E2 for $90... I was in shock.

I watched myself pull a 9.6 raw newsstand copy out of a box a couple months ago for $2.

That day has long sailed.

I thought it was insane when I was getting $30 for 9.6-9.8 raw copies. I am down to 2-3 copies left, and I had SCADS of them. This market is the best!!!

Wow that's crazy!

 

I went from booth to booth looking to pick up copies and a few of the dealers threw out $90 at me. I haggled and got about 4-5 copies in VF-VF+ for about $35/40 ea. Watch out for the copies with the "printer defect" small tears at the bottom. And yes, the book continues to rise even as the weeks go by.

Anyone know the print run on the 2nd print?

On eBay sure, but not at local shops. Its like MoS 18, due to its release date there is a perceived overabundance of the book which leads to a long list of shop owners failing to recognize the prices it currently commands.

 

Not to mention that again due to when it was released this is the type of book that routinely finds itself tossed in back issue bins at places like Half Price Books and other used book stores.

I saw a good number with medium holes/tears around the staples, wondering if that was a widespread defect, or just from people reading the books.

I don't find MOS 17-18 or ASM 361 regularly at shops. I do find one here and there, but it's about 1 in 6 shops/ stands. Last ASM 361 I paid $8 for, but they also had a Thor 337 and Uncanny 221 for $5 each, so they weren't picked through.

[AnthonyTheAbyss]

$175 - $200 would be reasonable for a CGC 9.8 ASM 361.

 

Don't forget to also add ASM 344 and 360 to the collection.
