If somebody has a lower grade extra or copy they are willing to trade, I have a few nice books I would part with including an albedo 2 I have up for sale in the modern section, if anyone is interested just pm me please

Time payments okay

I put one up for sale in the modern forum

I know I'm late to the party, but I just started watching season 1 on Netflix and I'm hooked. Anyone know where I can see season 2 without having to wait for reruns?

Same with me about half way through season 1, I'm really liking this show a lot, very well done, I also need to get my hands on season two

I was watching this, the bidding history looked funny to me and the price was too much I think

Any idea around what time the book first showed up for sale? I saw it sometime during the evening before someone placed a $1200 bid. So was this book available at the time the $1200 bid was put in?

Yes it was, somebody put a 1200 bid on it,I couldn't believe my eyes and had to triple check and then hit the buy it now, luckily before everybody else, however, like I said on comiclink the seller has to accept your bid and that still has not happened, so we will see?

Question for bunky or gator since there are so many copies out there do you guys then think these books will drop in value as more become available? I know there is demand but low supply and relative scarcity have helped prices to go up, tia

I got it however the seller has not accepted my bid hence I'm skeptical I'll even get the book as the price seems too good, I'll keep u guys informed

Welcome all! Generally very nice group of people here

Sell me one please

, I'm already getting pm about these, I should auction them on the boards

As promised, they look nice, I thought they both were at least 9.4's

just heard the books shipped out friday registered mail, should get them by the end of the week?, on the phone they said they are both 9.6's , going to be tough keeping these if the prices keep going crazy, will post them when i get them

Being that its a very low print run of 2,000 & having a bit tie in history with TMNT this book will forever be in high demand ! plus there is no reprint of this book. So that's why many collectors pay high amounts of money to get one ! Looking forward on seeing these two beauties soon (thumbs u

 

I see the tmnt angle, that makes sense, yes I'll take a picture not sure if I'm going to sell one or both but will still show when I get them back

 

 

If you get the chance, read the collected editions and you will get a feel for why Usagi Yojimbo has such a loyal fan base. Especially the early work where Sakai utilized anthropomorphic characters to tell the stories of feudal Japan. I always felt it was a better way to convey the events of Japanese history without having to go overboard with the brutal details of the Samurai.

 

Libraries will have the books in the youth section, as I first checked out the collected works when living in Colorado. Then wanting to read them again last year, I found the collected works in my local Virginia library. The ones in Colorado noted the Parent's Choice Award being issued for the history and method of storytelling.

i'm a fan, however, something has changed recently as the book's prices have been spiking up, a cgc 8.5 went for 1200? a raw book listed as nm/mt that looked like a vf raw for over 1200, the character has not changed in the past few months but the market is repricing his books?

Hi guys, this book is really starting to heat up, why?, I know it's an awesome book and undervalued and all but is there something else?I have two coming back from cgc and will hopefully get them back in a week or two

gator, where is your store located and what is it called?

Yes 3 days ago but just got money back a few minutes ago, thx for the quick response

How long is it protocol to wait for someone to return your money after buying some books and then returning them? It's only been 3 days, but I did pay instantly and I did return the books and the seller received them within 3 days of me contacting him about the books? Tia

Damn beautiful book ruined, you have a right to be upset

A 9.8 just sold for 3750 on ebay, could that be correct and the new price range?

Hi gator, question re two books, action 23 and more fun 55, how do you see these books doing over the next few years? Same, less or more and by a little or a lot? Tia.

Gator, have you ever ran a sales thread on the forums?

But my brain can wrap itself around the AF 15 prices a little bit more easily given that it's the first appearance of Marvel's all time biggest superhero. Bats 1 is definitely a pricey book considering that it's basically only the first appearance of a couple of villains. Even if one of them is the Joker.

 

This subject has come up before. I have a few thoughts on it.

 

While rarity no doubt can play a factor in driving up the prices of certain GA books, a book does not need to be incredibly rare by GA standards to maintain an extremely high value, with the potential to trend upwards.

 

Lets compare Batman #1 to Action #7 for instance.

 

Both are incredibly desirable, but Action #7 is considerably more rare. Content for content, there is no competition:

 

Batman #1

 

1st app. of the Joker.

1st app. of Catwoman.

2nd app. of the Joker.

2nd app. of Hugo Strange.

3rd app. of Robin.

Last Pre-Robin Tec story.

 

Action Comics #7

 

7th app. of Superman.

Circus story.

 

One book's content was used as reference material by Christopher Nolan for one of the most successful films in the history of modern cinema, the latter sports a really cool cover.

 

Adding my .02. I think the Joker is DC's third biggest character behind Supes and Bats.

 

I find this to be my stance on the Jokester as well

As a newbie, I feel the same way, I would buy the batman 1 to have the first appearance of the joker ( I don't have one of these but will join this club one day)

Awesome pick up and please continue posting, love this thread

Gator, as you and every one else knows, there is a captain America 1 cgc 1.8 on ebay, this book seems relatively reasonable priced, is that because of the cover staining? How much does this knock the book down in your opinion or others? At least It doesn't have brittle pages, thx you
