nmtg9 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Stay clear at these prices or go for a lower grade. I actually have no affinity for this comic at all. Didn't like it when it was released and haven't done since. I begrudgingly paid about $25 ten years ago for a mid grade to add it to the run. In some ways this comic started the era that took me out of comics altogether for 12 years. Never liked Mcfarlane art or what he represented in the industry.

SpidersComics Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 at least wait until after the movie, historically books build on movie releases, especially after the ad/short/preview is released and then they drop after the movie *of course this is based on a lot of Sony X-men/Spider & DC releases, that were varied in quality...when Disney/MCU release something it could change the whole mindset, it may further energize the market (the way Marvel do with the easter eggs at the end) Put it this way, I have 9.6/9.8 raws of #300 and #316, I'm getting them to CGC in 2 weeks in order to sell. It's a sellers market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy what you want, only a year ago a Sig Series 9.8 signed by the Todd Father was selling on here for $2500. I regret passing on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all the 0’s going down the right edge and all the 3’s going down the left. From bottom to top, the 0’s get cut off and the 3’s start to escape the spine. This book, to me, is misaligned. If it weren’t, you would see all the numbers evenly. Mirkinator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes perfect sense and it would definitely drive me nuts. I was looking for that and also cover misalignment with the rest of the book. I hadn’t the misalignment above that obvious before.

chrisco37 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Watch out for the “rag-tag” edge that’s common on this issue. CGC doesn’t downgrade for it, but it’s something you may want to keep an eye out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjonahjameson11 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you can forget about paying $5K for a 9.8 ... it’s more like $6K now. BlowUpTheMoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s just an opinion and nobody knows really. Appreciate all the feedback. What do you think Autos should add to 9.6 price? This number seems to vary. - Stan - Todd I found a 9.6 with Stan and Todd signs for $3500 and that seems reasonable but I’ve seen other sales lately for less Good question. I'm on the fence about purchasing a 9.8 Lee/McFarlane copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirkinator Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Hah, I always thought the misalignment was some artistic flair or something but was the same for all issues. But now it has been brought to my attention it can be all over the place.. Ill never be able to UNSEE it.. Not sure how i feel about this.

People are asking. They aren’t selling. I’m researching the source pages for all the closing bids. The ones that sell are going for less than asking. I suspect the ones that have sold for higher were purchased by the seller to boost prices. Even if they didn’t do that, if the demand isn’t sustainable it’s not worth asking. From what I see, it isn’t sustainable. And I’ve seen 9.8s for 5k in the past week, and some have been reposting for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
