Mijael.Levy 3,058 posts Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) The books are great, but i am shoked on how people are pricing them now: $3,000 - $4,000 for extremly low grades .There is a $2,260 pending sale at CLINK for a .05 I am not familiar with Clink ,,, did the winner already paid for it? or pending sale means it wasn`t completed? There`s another .05 to be auctioned next month , lets see how it ends Edited January 29, 2019 by Mijael.Levy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanthekid 279 posts Posted February 13, 2019 Mask 1 & 2 were worth only a few hundred bucks a few years ago-although the covers were always freakin' awesome. With LB Cole & horror so hot now, I think that .5 still went a bit crazy. Someone probably felt the eye appeal was better than .5 brittle. I agree with them on that. I also think this copy sold for higher because it was the first copy offered in a long time & at an entry level. That's my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the page quality isn't ideal but it looks great.... in my collection. I also have one that had a bunch of tape on the spine, but I'd like to think it's better than a 0.5. If the CL copy does well again I may need to test the market. 5 shortboxed, aardvark88, PopKulture and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some really nice BB's and even an Captain Flight 11 plus others. I think they may "cannabalize" each other. The Catman, Power 4, Suspense 12 may go lower than normal (whatever that is) if peeps go for the Mask books. 1 shortboxed reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
