Yes my sentiments exactly but I’ll tell ya what... I pay attention to the trends and this reprint business is a thing... so I’m going to cash in instead of resist just seems like the smart thing to do

Key word “may” so we do not know how many copies are out there though we do know it’s below 5000. Maybe well below 5000 see what I just did there...key word maybe If demand is high and affordable copies are all bought up that leaves an inflated price. I don’t really know what my post is about just as I don’t know what yours is about. I think maybe to discredit the printings being rare...I did it again maybe/may means nothing there harder to find right now and that’s all we really know

None. Later printings are all the rage right now. This one trending up should be no surprise at all.

All 2nd, 3rd, 4th print Marvels I know most people won’t like the news as some say anything but a 1st print is junk. I felt that way at one time but I’ve come to realize how much harder these prints are to find of normally common books. the same trend that has been affecting Marvel point 1 2nd printings has been going on around the board. Books like Ms. Marvel 2nd 3rd 4th, Spider Gwen 2nd and 3rd Thor Jane Foster 3rd and 4th All these books a selling for 2x or more there 1st print counterparts some are impossible to even find like Ms Marvel 5th print yellow border

Is this a fair deal?

Divid!! 🙇🏻‍♂️

And this man wins the prize for the most insightful and informative post of the day 🍻🎉

Sure because of another baseless rumor

Well it shouldn’t be getting hot but that’s today’s buyers. Guess just be happy there buying junk for a premium I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have no grip against Brie and am looking forward to many female lead movies like Thor Love and Thunder and She Hulk show with that said Captan M sucked least favorite MCU movie by far

Hot book!

Yes I started looking after your post found a few and waited. Next day I looked again all my likes were sold.

I’ve just gotten back into hard collecting and investing. Meaning silver and bronze keys and some copper modern variants such as this platinum. Ill buy just about any book on my list that I can get for GPA or lower if lucky such as Subby 1, these platinums, Spotlight 5, Forever people, and any book I feel a potential for growth. Not just for resale but to collect and maybe sell later to upgrade some others books. Yea these moderns that hold not much value outside 9.8 I steer clear unless I get a great price for quick flip

It’s interesting to see or discuss books like this. not just the Platinum or TMNT but other books from the 90s that almost ranked or took a sharp downturn just to mature into a fairly safe and solid investment. Id buy these books all day for 100.00 and guess I missed those prices as I stopped following the market at the end of the 90s because of all the BS volatile books and fake hype...kinda what I see happening again.

Very good post and informative

Exactly. Nice to hear from someone that’s stating the actual facts... but to some people on this thread...I’m the crazy one. Because I don’t play nice with liars, or people on here trying to mislead others, or try to hijack my post and use it for there own trolling needs. Sorry not having it and you’ll be called out real fast.

Obviously still a book that sells as there was 2 sales just today 7/24 1 on Mercari yesterday 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not taking anything you say seriously as I’m not a newb and bought my 1st copy for 250.00 in a raw high grade...in 1995 Your saying people bought this book for 1000,00 raw when it came out?? lmaooo...you would have to be one of those dumb baseball card guys to think “1per store” was very rare. Are you slow? Like who is that foolish. I was 19 years old and new better than that. Just wow please stop talking

I’m a big fan of this one

I can care less if you or anyone “recoups” money from a book... I was pointing out the simple fact that it has doubled in GPA over the last 9 years. Take that however you like 🤷🏻‍♂️ I never paid today’s prices for the book so I don’t have to recoup anything fortunately I was just ummmmm smarter I guess

Yes I have both and I have seen the Gold upc gain value by a bigger margin past 10 years of so. I think they both have pros and cons though both very attractive books. Im not crazy about a usp box on a book as it’s an eye sore to me and takes away the beauty of the gold cover...but it seems to be less than the 10,000 print of the platinum. The platinum has vibrant color and a reflective gloss that’s very attractive and was never sold to the public but given away to shop owners. Both great and high demand books. They don’t sell often but when one goes up for bid there’s always a lot of bidders and it always goes for “around GPA” The books do not dip or skyrocket and are a pretty stable investment as they have proven to be sought “for gpa” and highly collectible.

Now we can look 9 year later and the prices have doubled. yes I know this is an old thread...but still a thread that’s active for reference and comment. Was just doing a little history of the book to see how many are actually available, asking prices, and sold prices threw out the years since the 90s Obviously not a super rare book but that should have been common knowledge to begin with as there were “1 per store” As far as the quality of the book I actually think they look very nice with that glossy card stock and I’m not sure marvel was worried how they held up for grading purposes as they were “free giveaways” as a thank you to retailers not to mention one of the 1st of its kind. I think this book holds some historical significance as far as 90s books go and glad to see the prices have stabilized as even a 8.0 is at about 190.00 gpa the book goes up as time goes on at a steady pace without any artificial hype and the amount of copies available are very small compared to some other mainstream books or keys. 25-30 available copies on eBay is not an awfully lot. Interesting to see we’re books go from decade to decade

Trust me..it’s not he collectors that are specing these ridiculous books. Yours Trully Collecter

Then maybe they shouldn’t be offended when the constantly get low balled. Tit for tat

She sucks!
