BladeTX Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi all, I've been collecting TWD comics for a few years but am gonna go Newbie for this question. I am watching in awe as TMNT #1 in 9.8 is up to $46K in the CLink auction with 9 days left. I have also seen Hulk 181 9.8 prices reported on their site at $59K. Using a cutoff of $50K+, what bronze, copper and modern books sell at this price level? When younger, I collected during 1978 to 1980 so may have had some of these "killer" books in my hands at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 ASM #129 is in the $15k range. Albedo #2 is in the $25-30k range. Bone #1 is in the thousands as well. Alf #48 is close to $1k if not around there. ASM #667 Dell Otto variant is in the $20k+ ballpark. ASM #300 is in the $2-2500 range right now. Batman Adventures #12 hovers around the $2k mark. Star Wars The Clone Wars #1 has now jumped to up or above $1k. Ultimate Fallout #4 is riding high in the $1-1500 range in 9.8 with a Newstand selling recently in 9.8 for over $8k. Just grabbing stuff that came to mind and dollar amounts are guesstimates not 100% accurate.

Sellers are saying "maybe" a TV series or movie. $30K????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveinthecity Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 What would a Cerebus #1 9.8 bring at auction? Not many sales to reference(No 9.8’s on census), but a year or so back I believe a 9.4 sold for $18k, so I’d think this book would make it to the conversation.

Sellers are saying "maybe" a TV series or movie. $30K????? Usagi, after his introduction, eventually joined the TMNT universe (and appeared in both the 1987, 2003, and 2012 cartoon series). That's certainly helped boost the value of Albedo 2. Also, it's a tiny print run with a lot of copies in pretty grim shape, so high grade examples are things to chase. 4 minutes ago, steveinthecity said: What would a Cerebus #1 9.8 bring at auction?

Something ludicrous, assuming such a thing exists. Odds are pretty good at this point that there simply are no 9.8s of Cerebus 1. Most copies were marred by fairly significant production defects; Dave Sim held back essentially all legitimately high-grade copies and distributed them later through various means. Many of those are now SS books. If there was a 9.8 candidate Cerebus 1, we'd almost certainly have seen it by now. I don't believe Sim has a stash still held back, and normal distribution copies have pretty much zero shot at high grades. oldmilwaukee6er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
