Purchased 2 Walking Dead 100 3rd prints from Rich; they were listed as NM+, and by God, they are in fact NM+ books, easily 9.6s, real shots at 9.8s.

Really fast shipping in a perfect mailer designed for raw books.

Just an overall great transaction, thanks so much - Clint

Just completed a deal with Ghostzapper; he sold me a Marvel Spotlight #6 (2nd Ghostrider) CGC 9.6 with white pages.

John was reall easy to work with, shipped the book in a really safe, fast, and efficient manner. The transaction was flawless, I would not hesitate to do another deal with him; he is an asset to this community.

Yeesh - I can barely see through the clouds of hype around here. *NEWSFLASH* - this book wasn't discovered yesterday. I remember seeing this book on a dealer wall at my first convention in 1985, with a price tag of $8. Even then, at the age of 10, I was already aware of how incredibly common this book was. It's not rare, it's never been rare, it will never be rare. And Star Wars has been popular for almost 40 years now, and this has *ALWAYS* been reflected in the price of this book. And yet, the book almost triples in "value" over the last six months...? Does that seem reasonable?

IMO, dropping $1800 on a 9.8 #1 might be the single WORST thing I can think of to do with that money. If I have the books, I'm selling them All. Day. Long. If I'm a buyer...I'm not buying. Simple as that.

Saving this so it can't be edited in about 9 months

This thread completely delivers. It's so easy to tell who owns a SW 1 9.8 and who doesn't based on what they post. Great stuff here.

I can see huge bucks for 9.8s #1 and the cover price variant. It is not just the first issue of a comic about a movie, it predated the movie. Star Wars collectors, and there are many of them, who have NO interest in comics in general who have the dough will want this and pay for it.

 

If Walking Dead 1 9.8s can be approaching $2K there is no reason an almost 40 year old comic can't. SW 1 may have had 50X the print-run, but there is no way there are more 9.8s in the wild than WD #1.

Maybe the worst false analogy ever.

This might cool down the new must-have bronze age comic, watch until the end.

 

Not really, probably about 0.1% of what was originally made.

Yeah because stacks of those things are lying around everywhere now, ya mutt.

To the sellers of Star Wars 1:

 

You're welcome

There is another SW 1 9.6 with white pages listed on ebay presently...my attorneys advise that is all I can say about that...but I think that will be a pretty good indicator as well as to the future of the 9.6 SW 1s.
