shane1956 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) So after years of putting this book off I'm now ready to just come to terms with the fact that it's not going to be cheap. I've been on the hunt for a 9.2 (yes I'm one of those guys who likes having matching grades) . Is it just me or does it look like this book is up above $3,500 U.S. in 9.2? I'm dreading the thoughts of having it shipped to Canada with our terrible exchange, taxes and duty but I'm doubtful that there are going to be too many floating around up here. It's a dream book for me and can't wait to add it to my framed collection. Any of my fellow Canadian members own this book in high grade?

chrisco37 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 $3500 looks about right. Might have to pay 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 A 9.0 just sold on ebay for $2950.. Prices still creeping up. 9.2 can be had for around $4k now I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Mad Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You waited a bit too long to get in on this one. With the recent Fox/Fantastic Four hype it's hitting 10 year highs. Frankly I'd give it a while to cool down. alexgross.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane1956 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 As an update I have a $3700 bid up for a 9.2. I can't see the book being higher than that . I love these comics but certain keys at 9.0 and above are starting to get less and less "affordable". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cushing Fan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I regretfully sold my FF 48 CGC 9.2 with white pages not too long before the announcement of the Disney acquisition in order to get an original painting that was on my bucket list. My thought was there will always be another FF48 and I would just save up and get another 9.2. Well, that went right out the window! I did pick up a FF48 CGC 7.0 recently so at least I would have a copy again but I don't think that I will be getting another 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There's a 9.2 on Heritage right now @ nearly 3,600 with two days to go. I think it will peak out @ 4,500 . The best way to find out about a hot book is to watch the WTB threads. FF 48 was asked about often. This book did shoot up suddenly. In such cases you need to overpay to get what you want before the prices shoot up. Trying to low ball initially will leave you empty handed.

shane1956 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 The delay in responding to my offer is killing me. I'm in a holding pattern at $3700 with Comiclink for another 2 days 9 hours. The nicer of the two 9.2's listed is actually an old label and that current offer price is $3650. I figured the seller would snap up my $3700 for the new label under those circumstances. However, they seem to be holding out. No doubt the seller is also a board member sitting back reading all of this. I haven't exactly followed the pre 2018 prices in great detail but I get the sense that a 9.2 might have been in and around the $2500 mark prior to the Disney hype. I think it's a solid fair market offer but others may disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to beat that price a bit if the seller doesn't have to give away so much in fees. Chillax23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronx Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This book is hot and only getting hotter. Just think all this noise without a single discussion about a movie. This is love for a storyline and the hope of what it could look like down the road on screen. Buy it now. Mr bla bla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dick Pontoon Posted February 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2018 Respectfully disagree. The run-up has everything to do with hype. Prices were relatively flat for years until the Disney/Fox acquisition. These kinds of huge leaps are always based on speculation and have little to do with love of storyline.

Martin Sinescu Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I noticed the Fantucchio FF 48 is on the bay now. Does anybody know what it sold for originally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway29 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Being the second owner, next to Fantucchio, I might have an idea. However, being that I’m still the owner it’s probably in bad taste to advertise buy price... I can tell you at the time it was a GPA record (obviously not recorded)...
