Astonishing Tales25 surpassed that 2k in 9.8 I think right? Well Deathlock is a cooler character anyway but damn....2k, 2.5k? Really ? Jeepers!

I can see/buy into the price increase on Astonishing Tales 25.  Only 77 graded 9.8  (edit) 77 blue labels and 11 sig series 9.8

Nova #1 has 449 graded 9.8 (edit)  449 blue labels and 34 sig series 9.8

I bought an 8.5 just cause, definitely took some time with this book, not that it's all that but it indeed is like a lot of other 1st of the bronze etc. I even bought firestorm, but I'm a bit late on the astonishing tales 25

I was surprised to see this increase without a movie announcement.

from January to April 

9.8 $1000 to $2000

9.6 $300 to $600

9.4 $180 to $380

Nova #1 is currently selling for $2,000 plus in 9.8

The centering and wrap on the book that sold is far superior to the copy that is still available.  It simply presents better and has better eye appeal.

Not a nothing character in spidey land. 

I agree with you 100%, just quoting someone else with that post.

Can't understand the prices some people are willing to pay for this book and a nothing character, just my opinion before people start to lose their rag . 

There seems to be a frenzy of “ nothing character “ books selling for good money.

ASM 194 is climbing in high grade. 
 

9.8 in Jan $2400 and has now reach $3600 in April

9.6 is now $1500

9.4 is now $800

I like both of you, but really? 18 of 25 and 13 of 25? I think you should be happy with those percentages (no matter how good you think you are at grading.) Remember, it's a third-party opinion.   

Yes, the numbers don’t lie. We’ve been brought back down to reality 

CGC doesn’t note it on any labels for the original 12 issues.

I definitely do understand the worry and concern.  I have had good success in the past with just sending in books, but it started becoming inconsistent, so I started prescreening them. The A few submissions ago got hammered and only 18 of the 25 hit the 9.8. 

After they made it back to took a second look and realized that somewhere along the line the corners of those other books got hit. The bag and boards all had been crunched and did the same to the books. 

Since then it has really been hit of miss. So with everything going on I have really cut back and only sending in really top candidates or ones I do not care as much what specific grade they get. 

This happened on my last 25 book pre-screen as well.  13 graded 12 rejects with corner damage.  In the middle of the invoice, so the books that got damaged  were packaged in the middle of the shipment to coordinate with the invoice. Hard to believe it was during shipping.

I like that Joel Edgerton is in it. Gives me hope that a young Luke Skywalker could show up.

That will make it the 1st cover of the Drengir, no?  Assuming that is what the Drengir main entity looks like.

Issue 1 had a cover with Drengir 

@Crops068

@awakeintheashes

It’s the Bustos cover I was referring to. The Yu cover is the 1 in 25.  This issue is supposed to be the origin of the Drengir.  

Sold John a Nam Punisher book CGC 9.8 white pages.  We agreed on a fair price and payment was sent immediately.  @Parabellum is the real deal.  Sell to him with confidence.

@Crops068

@awakeintheashes

There is a B cover to issue 4 that hasn’t been revealed. 
 

edit: It will probably be shown after final order cut off.

@jsilverjanet

What books were the most requested?

@Tnexus

I see where things went wrong in my quick search. 
You posted it as a CBE variant but the listings are for a CBE exclusive.  So by searching for a variant, none of the auctions popped up listed as an exclusive.

I sandwhich the comics in between two sheets of 1/4 inch stainless steel. i wrap that in bubble wrap and do another stainless steel sandwhich. I then ship the comic inside a 1500 pound steel safe that is wrapped in bubble wrap.

The tree fiddy shipping method.

Shilled listings will do that......

No completed listings yet.  They have to list them in order to shill the book.

edit: This original comment of selling for $500 makes me want to stay away from this auction already. Just seems like any Auction moving forward could possibly be shilled.

Here's the CBE HR #3 variant. Already going for over $500 on Ebay.

 

That’s wierd, I don’t see any listings currently or completed.

Does anyone think there may be a market for keeping books like UF4 polybagged, like there are for some 90's books and some of the comics sold in multi-packs in stores? I have a really nice copy that I think could score a 9.8 but it's still sealed and eventually there will be very few sealed copies out there since everyone is getting theirs graded...

... am I just talking myself into buying another UF4?

If it has a legitimate shot at 9.8 get it graded now before something happens to it that a press won’t fix.

Listening to talkers makes me thirsty, and hungry.  I’ll take two chickens.

cardboard is heating up. Time to flip.
