Did that sell?! No way! I just noticed it’s from mycomicshop. Here’s the description: Interior is complete. Heavy water damage. Back cover partially stuck to last page. Staple rust. Mold. Here’s a “2.0” for $265

😳 Last month a 7.0 was like $500, this is nuts!

I haven’t heard of half of those characters, I’m going to have to look them and get to reading! 🙂

Also a good idea to remind new collectors that the reprints are 35 cents and are not always easy to identify. http://www.bipcomics.com/showcase/StarWars/Marvel/StarWars/001-006.html

If that’s the case that price is cray cray 😳

Is that the 35 cent version? I can’t see in the pic .

I believe it’s the first time they fight, for whatever that’s worth.

I liked Jubilee in the comic, she had a fun relationship with Wolverine

He dated Dazzler too...

If the guy gives you a price after looking it up ask “Is that what they cost on ebay? Awesome, that means I can buy them from home! Thanks!” It wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t using the highest buy it now price, and probably for a book in lower grade than the one on ebay 🙄

They should give you a finders fee for doing their work for them.

Well I’m not really the right person to ask, I’m not as knowledgeable as you guys. I felt like it was undervalued, at least at last month’s prices. A midgrade 94 was worth about 1/5 of GSX1 in the same grade. When I was a kid in the 80’s 94 was actually worth more, but those were much different times 🤷‍♂️

Not anymore, that’s what we’ve been talking about lately, the sold prices have seemed to almost double in the last few weeks. Look at the sold prices back in January. Some people were saying that it makes sense that it’s rising in step with the other big keys (particularly GS1) and that it has been undervalued for a while. Some other posts argued that 94 was not undervalued at that lower price, I was addressing that notion. I don’t think that one you linked to will sell for 19k, but who knows nowadays. Go collect still has it at 7k. That’s how quickly prices have risen. 😳

What I was trying to say is that new collectors seem much more interested in first appearances than in storylines, where as in the “old days” the fact that Claremont’s story starts here was a much bigger deal than it is in today’s environment. I like GS1’s story, I wish I had one! At least I have the facsimile 🙂

For those that argue that 94 has NOT been undervalued relative to GS1... On ebay GS1 7.0 (I use that grade because that’s what I have) is going between 3k and 4k. Go collect has 94 7.0 at $700. I agree that GS1 should be worth more than 94, 2x as much, even 3x, but 5x?? They used to be close to equal, 1/5 the value of GS1 seems reasonably undervalued to me 🤷‍♂️

I talked to a different employee at my lcs (one of the stores that carry bad idea) and she said their experience hasn’t been positive so far. They are frustrated that their full order wasn’t fulfilled and they haven’t yet been able to get more. She said it’s difficult to try to explain to customers.

Phoenix was created in those issues. The stories aren’t as good as the Byrne issues obviously but that’s still significant I think.

Whoa, that one’s cover has been written on and it still got that much?! Why the sudden rise I wonder?

This right here, this is why a lot of us like 94 🙂

I’m 46, and I’ve always wanted it. It’s not just “a new writer,” it’s the beginning of an epic run that ran throughout my childhood in the 80’s🙂. I worry that our hobby has become too obsessed with defining what makes a book “key.”

It was. Of course collectors valued stories more back then. Nowadays it seems first appearances and cover art are all that matter. ☹️

I bought mine raw for $350 a little over a year ago and then had it graded. I felt bad thinking that I had paid too much for it 🤷‍♂️. These are strange times.

Wow 😳, for real? Where were they sold? Mine is a 7.0, I thought they were around $500

I thought she had a cool relationship with wolverine, I liked how protective she was of him. It might play well in a movie. Plus she will be marketable to Asia which is a big plus for marvel.

Now I’m curious what these shenanigans were
