HERO FOR HIRE #1

Highest CGC Graded!

No Reserve Auction

CGC 9.8 NM/MT $1 $4,300

Update 45 8/15/2013 8:00:00 PM ET 8/28/2013 12:01:50 AM ET Auction Has Ended

 

It had ow-white pages.

I know its not E-bay .. On Comic-link a Hero For Hire #1 9.8 just finished for $4,300.00

that's a pretty good jump !

I am sitting on a ton of batman #1 every time i go to sell them the prices are up ! so I am holding...... I don't think DC is going to reboot batman any time soon.

 

I have the feeling there are a lot of people with tons of copies of this book. It is not a rare book ! the 1:25 and the 1:200 are rare ! In time I also believe the Detective and Action RRP's will be sought out. just my 2 cents.

This book is about to shatter the old record set, if the bid is real.

I was going to go for it, but it's already well out of my current budget.

this is a guess but i think we have some fake bidding on this book, someone is running it up.....?

Who is your fave character?

 

Amelia. Big fan of the facial expressions and my fave food power.

+1 she is cool !

The wise people bought PP when it was @$150 at cover and have since sold them

 

Helped you there.

+1 at half of cover ! and i am a reader of the series as well as a seller.

2. Considering demand. Walking dead is huge. However, PP has the potential to be even bigger because it is based on a subject matter that appeals to a broader audience. If the show is quality, and the comic story can draw people in, things will explode. If not then, speculators will be looking to dump those stocks.

 

Not looking to argue, but want to discuss this point. You state "PP has the potential to be even bigger because it is based on a subject matter that appeals to a broader audience." I assume you are talking about it being based on Peter Pan?

 

 

This isn't necessarily aimed only at Mike's Rack, so please anyone chime in: Is Peter Pan really a broader audience than the zombie genre?

its up there PP has huge international potential. if done right this will be huge !

PP 2 cgc 9.8 vs WD 2 cgc 9.8

 

Suply - demand

one book is ten years old and the other a year

 

Did wd #2 have mass production defects as well?

A total of approx 1% of the total print run has been submitted so it's pure speculation that there is a common defect in the 4000+ books yet to be subbed.

 

I wasn't trying to argue. I am not sure if wd #2 had the same issues. I'm sure there quite a few PP #2 9.8 raws out there but I'm also certain quite a lot haven't passed pre screen to this point.

+1 if you call CGC they will tell you of the hundreds of #2 that did not screen for 9.4 or higher. i know one guy that sent 50 not one 9.8 it is a big defect almost every one i have seen has it

sold listings

in the last 2 months this book is selling high. there is always a seasonal drop during con season. People want this book ! It has a-lot of potential if the show does fly this is a 1000.00 book all day long.

Well, as I have now got 10 x 9.8 copies, that's exactly what I have been doing.

 

Its just my opinion, as its your right to disagree, but small print run, motion comic and worldwide TV series, all confirmed certainly gives this book a big shot at being the next Walking Dead.

If I'm wrong, it's only me that is losing out.

 

This is the only new book that has a shot at walking dead. really how is this book soft? its on fire........ please tell me where the cheap #1 or #2 issues are? I am down with Beige on this one ! walking dead was a 100.00 book for years !

Great Seller ! a+ GREAT BOOKS !

I *heart* Darkhawk

 

 

Slow Tracking these next week

 

 

 

 

NICE. I would definitely wait on buying 9.8 on eBay there are so many of these out there.

 

Same can be said about ASM 300, One on ebay recently sold for $1089.00!!

Spider-man is a little different than Darkhawk. but if he reaches the same status I agree.

This book is great ! Blackacre like idea. I like blackacre but this writting and plot seem a lot better.

Picked this up at Comic-Con from Dale Roberts. Real nice affordable copy with White Pages and nice colors. It's been on my Want List for quite some time.

 

+1

I think second prints are still available from diamond...?

They are!

Great seller ! trust him all day long !

Or just wait till the hoard gets CGC'd

I got my hands on a bunch over the last couple years not one was 9.8.. I give up on the raw's I will buy 9.6 or 9.8 when I find them. Not many.

Any of those NMA #2 9.8? It seems really rare to get that book in 9.8?

I need some Novas

Just had a guy come in with brown paper bags of comics from late 70's over 50 plus nova #1 and #2 and 50-70 spectacular spider-man #1 tons of hoarded #1's alot NM+

...... black panther #1 , Spider girl #1 eternal s #1 75+ books. Will post picks ! After seeing this and some of the order sheets from the distributor that where in the bags I really wonder if anything is RARE from this age.

 

 

More Valiant original art goodness!
