Getting close to a month since I said this- getting close to $700 too!
The *asking* price maybe, but the highest sales price on eBay is still just over $300.
Although, two 9.8 NYCC 2xSS copies sold at $500 each VERY quickly to boardies a couple days ago. Not sure how that might translate into blue-label 9.8 copies, but so far there's not much sign of price resistance yet. Will be interested in seeing how quickly (or if) this current sale happens.
Make that three SS NYCC's sold VERY quickly. Two to me.
Hence me listing one of my universals, no secret.
It's pretty interesting to learn from each one of my Enormous Phantom slabs I've sold on eBay that not a single buyer had heard of the boards. I always just assume it's a boardie who is also a fan and am surprised to learn they are not on the boards as a fellow fan of the series within this thread.
The readers/collectors are out there for sure beyond the boards.
I will let you guys know what kind of action it gets.
