Invincible #1 OA Price? 1 1

[JumboJumbo]

I might be able to get a hold of a first page from Image comics Invincible and was wondering what a first issue page would cost? Page is mint condition but not a big spash or anything special. Obviously not asking for anything specific, just a ball park figure

I don’t follow this market so I can’t give you a price per se. Although I will say that pages from this issue don’t pop up often or at all and so there are no comps. My word of advice is buy it as long as you don’t have to sell your car to do it. As an experienced collector I can tell you that you’re going to regret not picking up a page from issue #1 when you had the opportunity WITHOUT the bidding competition  OR someone with deeper pockets trying to swoop in on you.

How do you expect anyone to give a ball-park price on simple "a page in a comic".

The page, as you put it, is not anything special.

Buy what you love. If it's not anything special, just pass on it, even if it is from issue 1 of a popular book.

Listen to John E. Especially if you have a clear shot at the page with zero competition. Be bold as long as you’re not blowing up your finances. There’s not always an answer even when comps and fair market value exist. This might be the time initiative pays off for down the road.

Are you saying that you can get page 1 for Invincible #1 or a single page from that issue?  The content on the page and significance could make a big difference on pricing.

JumboJumbo please let us know if you make a deal. Very curious what the page is/price and all.

[JumboJumbo]

I'm not sure why but I was a little disingenuous with saying that I was able to buy a page from issue #1 when in fact I actually own two pages from issue #1 and a big splash from issue #2 and an action page from #3. I apologise, please forgive me. I think I may have just been looking for a price without revealing my hand.

All is forgiven. Simply send GrapeApe the “lesser” of the two #1 pages for what you originally paid for them and we’re good! 

Listen JumboJumbo better to be straightforward on this board. It’s totally ok to ask for help here especially on valuation. There’s a wide range of collectors/dealers on CGC. 
 

Without seeing the pages you won’t get the most accurate valuation. Hell even with you might sometimes get the wrong information depending on knowledge and motivation.

Still I’ve found this a great place to get some honest feedback.

Thanks for “coming clean.”

Thank you for understanding. All cards on the table, I'm quite anxious holding these pages which I've had for about 8 years now. I feel now might be the best time to offload a page especially considering they are just sat in art wallets above my wardrobe.

That’s a very representative page from the comic. I would think this would do well at auction. The question is which auction house?

Comic Link would feature this in their main auction and you could get it in with plenty of time for exposure.

Heritage: some question about where (maybe not Signature eligible?)it would be featured. 
 

Hey board friends!!! Thoughts?

Potential Valuation?

Should this go to auction? Which one?

 

I think an auction is your best bet to explore finding the public’s appetite ($$$). I would buy it but honestly in fairness to you I think you should auction it.

Show the better page.

I never read the book so I couldn’t tell you what each page might be worth. I think it’s best to auction it. My first instinct is to go ComicLink; I feel like it would get drowned out in Heritage. Or maybe it will do really well on Heritage, only that you need to send them $5k worth of consignments. You might try auctioning just one to see how it performs. Chances are you’re going make more than you paid anyway even if it “doesn’t do well.”

Keep it, unless you really need the money. There is too much interest in that page for me to think it won't go up in value in the next several years. I expect it will outperform stocks if the past is any guide.

What about ebay, surely that's the biggest audience?

As someone who sells and buys art from eBay I can go on and on about this.

I don't know man--you're not going to like hearing this. Don't think of this as some anonymous punk behind a keyboard but rather as tough love. The fact that you don't know the Invincible market, that you were deceitful, and now suggesting eBay, tells me you really don't know what you're doing. I would suggest contacting ComicLink about what you have and letting the professionals get the most out of your art for you. If you do this yourself, via eBay or "classifieds" you're going to get taken advantage of.

I have no idea what I'm doing!  But that's why I came here, I appreciate the advice. I was deceitful and I apologise for that but it was never my intention. I'm just very anxious about owning these pages and allowing people to know that I own them. It was a judgement error on my part and I'll live with it. 

I'll get in touch with ComicLink, thank you!
