Thanks.....8 months of work finally paid off.

I thought since I posted my wanted book here it would be nice to do the follow up.

 

Thanks again and I wish the best of luck to the rest of the grail seekers :wishluck:

 

We need to see what it looks like. Post it.

Do you guys buy 2nd prints of your grails as a place holder? I know Strangers in Paradise 2nd and 3rd print had the same print run as the 1st print(3000), so they are just as rare with the same cover. For Bone I think any print other than number 1 isn't very desirable.

 

I know for silver grails I went with the golden record 2nd prints and they have been really hot over the past 2 years.. HIgh grade raw books without the records could be found for under $100 in 2013, now VG's are going for more than that.

 

If SiP ever gets popular again, I don't see those 9000 copies across 3 printings staying cheap.

10 years ago my Modern Grail was Ultimate Spider-Man #1 white variant CGC SS 9.8 (SS by Stan Lee)

 

Today I was quite surprise how far the book drop in price..... 10 yrs ago it was a book well above the $1000 mark... Now I'm seeing on eBay its dropped 20% and it's still dropping...I keep wondering why.... ???

 

 

Now, I have WD#1 CGC SS as my Grail

It's a semi-key book being the first ultimate book. I picked one up for cheapsies. Some books fluctuate, I think this one is at a low point (for now???). One of my favs too (thumbs u

Whats the print run of this one? I just have the regular 1st print :sorry:

This book has such a tremendous potential

 

 

 

How can I tell if I got the first printing of this? I bought 2 copies of this off a friend of a friend. He said its the first printing and published around 2005/2006.
