Callaway29 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Too good to be true. Just checked census...highest graded is one 8.5, next highest is 7.0... Unless there's a lag or something,...how long does it take to hit the census after grading? Sweet Lou 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dikran Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The scan is for the 90s book not the Atlas book as the title indicates. Sweet Lou 14 and waaaghboss 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikran Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Does anyone know how rare this book really is? Do the census numbers really convey how many there might be in the wild? Are there a bunch of copies waiting to flood the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely enough to ever flood the market, but probably more floating out there raw than graded by a decent margin. Then again I don't really know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I don't really know Thanks, I ask cuz my group and I want to buy a high grade copy together as a long term investment and we were kinda worried if a bunch of 8.0s and 9.0s suddenly appeared we'd be screwed... And movie hype tends to bring copies out of the woodwork but so far I don't see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price bump and market flood happened about 2 years ago, meaning ebay listings went from 0-1, to about 6ish. Go back a few pages to my post when I got my copy and you can kind of watch this in real time. The book is scarce enough and fragile enough (chipping, black cover) that I dont imagine too many raw hg copies are floating around out there, but you never know. A 9.6 taw copy of action 1 is still down south sitting in a dentist's office. As for a spec, the book already has its movie rumor bump. For itto see more substantial growth, the black knight would have to be good in the movie and be the next racoonlord, which I dont see happening. Also bear in mind people may focus more on the first apperance of the second black night. I dont think it would be a bad spec book, but there are some hurdles, of which a flood of copies to the market I believe isnt one. If you do end up with one, be sure to post it here!

dikran Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Honestly, it’s not so much the Black Knight as it is Morgana that we were interested in 😂 (in terms of potential growth) But the art in this book is just spectacular!
