Agent 007 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If one thread already exists, let me know. I can't find one anywhere on the boards or I'm blind. Post them slabbed or raw if you have them. Lot of recent sales so I assume some boardies have some. I will post mine once my scanner is up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My copy isn't in very good shape, but I think I'll keep it. Even if somebody did write on the cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 007 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Sweet Book, I love the Sig placement. Even though someone great did write on the cover!! I have four MGN 4's. Trying to get them all in CGC grades from the lowest to the highest. Also, looking to grab raw versions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Zen Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Here's mine. Bought it new. I remember thinking that 4.95 was a lot to pay for a new comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 007 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Nice Book Dr. Zen. I love it!! I started collecting a few years after this came out, around 1985/1986 (Crisis & Secret Wars) era. I recall seeing this book for about $10 in 85/86 and dreamed of owning it. I always thought it was a cool cover. Wish I still had the copy I purchased back then. I'm hoping at SDCC I find some RAW books to buy and perhaps find any CGC SS Stan Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comicdey Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) I belong but really only need 1 copy. My original owner copy is double bagged to remind me ? Edited July 14, 2017 by Comicdey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 007 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 5 Copies!!! Holy Cow. Great looking set of books you have there. Also, I see a variant $5.95? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a later printing. There is a $5.95 cover price edition that is generally known to be a Canadian priced edition, as I've graded at least four or five of them in the past and I've bought them all in Canada.

Agent 007 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Good to know. Guess I'm on a hunt for those as well for my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep 4.95/5.95 later print. I'm assuming all the 4.95 covers are first prints but there is a difference on one copy so I need to learn up on printing variation and clarification. I've read what's here on the boards. I think. But is there anything definitive with images. Anyone PM me please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Investor Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Does anyone think MGN 4 Can price variant ($5.95 cover price only) or regular copies ($4.95) have room to grow or it already hit its peak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's maxed out. I'm pretty shocked they go for what they do considering there are people that have long boxes in warehouses of these things. It's incredibly common.

I'm asking this question because I'm thinking of getting one but hesitant because it's gone up alot the last year or two. I guess if I find someone who is selling a copy at a price that would make both seller and buyer happy I'll go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still do not see a ton of these when looking thru collections and definitely not in high grade. The black cover magazines are really, really tough to keep in great shape over the last 35 years. There is about 250 graded copies between 9.4 - 9.8 which although not rare is not a ton for such a key book that commands good prices. My gut tells me the 9.8 some room left to grow (possibly $900 - $1000) once promos start coming out and if the movie looks to be a good one. I also see 9.6 and 9.4s having room to grow since I think $375 - $400 for a 9.6 is feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wall-Crawler Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My copy. Price Variant. I believe the sole $5.95 cover prices are Canadian editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, 250 copies graded between 9.4 and 9.8 doesn't mean something is rare or that it in anyway represents the actual number of very high grade books out there. The book is about as rare as Alpha Flight 1. So, I don't recommend anyone pay the irrational prices for an arbitrary number on the slab. It's not a good bet. If you bought a copy a few years ago for $50, that would be a different story. Just my opinion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
