Mr 9.8

Last sale was $455 in March.

seriously?

So I am new to the CGC slabs but not collecting are the prices for slabs always that much higher then price guide? ComicsPriceguide.com has 9.8 at $56. I really am interested in selling it but don't want to rip anyone off and not over charge as well.

I have a TMNT #1 3rd Print graded by P.G.X. 9.4 with off-white / white pages. it's a very CLEAN copy, has great eye appeal. I have thought about taking it out of the case and send it to CGC, but I'm a bit skidish about it.

 

Well, worst case if CGC downgrades it, the 3rd print still isn't TOO difficult to acquire so you could always have a shot at getting another down the road without killing the bank.

 

 

P.S. WTTB!

Basically, no one clearly owns all the rights to the Miracleman stories as published by Warrior and then Eclipse in the 1980s. The entire 1980s project may have been an exercise in unauthorized use of characters not actually owned by the publishers! There are competing claims to the character, and thus competing claims to those scripts featuring the character and that artwork featuring the character.

 

If the report is true, then Marvelman creator Mick Anglo has the clearest claim to the character (maybe named Marvelman, maybe Miracleman, not sure on that point). Reportedly Alan Moore has sided with Anglo. So the likely quickest way we'll ever see the series return to publication in any form would be Anglo having all of Alan Moore's original scripts re-drawn by other artists, and thus not the series as it originally was printed 25 years ago.

The final (for now at least) Lying in the Gutters column was published yesterday, and Rich Johnston has some disconcerting news about the latest twist in the Marvelman rights saga...

 

John Campbell and his brother of Emotiv Records in Glasgow formed a relationship with Mick Anglo, and currently represent his rights in the matter.

 

And Moore recently stated that he was happy for his work to be used to help Mick Anglo out in that respect, whether that be in reprints, a cartoon series or whatever.

 

It's this "whatever" that is causing some concern, however.

 

One proposal, to circumvent a number of rights issues, would be to take Moore's original scripts for the series and offer them to other artists to draw, And as the current state of play have none of the Marvelman/Miracleman artists owning any rights to the series as a whole, this proposed "remake" would see them without a penny in royalties.

 

And this wouldn't cover the Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham issues either.

 

Expect to see a number of possibilities, and versions of the series in the near future. though not necessarily the version you actually want. As Steve Bissette said, if you want this series, find the cheapest way to buy the issues of the original series - and do it now.
