Nic8612 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Was watching this last night out of curiosity and it ended $1000 more than I expected. Prices for 9.8s are getting out of control FoggyNelson and Hollywood1892 2 Link to post Share on other sites
batmiesta Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Ridiculous, but the same can be said by nearly every book nowadays. You can pick up a 9.6 for around $900 (still too much IMHO) so why someone would pay nearly $3000 more for a 9.8 is beyond me, I am glad I am not one of those " must have a 9.8" merchants.

I lucked out and grabbed a 9.8 signed by all three Romitas here on the boards back in October I think for $1700. I'm not a stickler for 9.8s so I'm seriously considering selling if an unsigned can go for nearly $4k now Link to post Share on other sites

It's a nice book, but it would have to sit at that price for awhile until people believe it is worth that. Imagine the book, and a relatively minor supervillain, being as expensive or 50% the value of an IM 55. Spidey attracts the value of his villains too Link to post Share on other sites

Spidey attracts the value of his villains too Hobgoblin was spidey's main adversary for about 4 years and then he got moved over to second tier. But yeah, he's not green goblin or venom in terms of pop culture. Hollywood1892 1 Link to post Share on other sites
