Except there's no where he could've gotten that information. He has no proof.
I normally order 2 copies of Scooby Do TU for my store, I ordered 12 of #12. I'm certainly not the only person who upped their order on it.
I'm also thinking it's going to be in the 10-12,000 range. At least.
I'll ask him where he got that figure of 7,000 from, , in a couple days, next time I stop by his shop.
He also said that he thought the book was worthless and he was annoyed that he had 5 people walk in, he had never seen before, asking if he had any copies.
He has 0 copies for sale, FTR.
I've known the guy for a couple years, he's a pretty straight forward guy and he does not chase after ,or push, hot books.That said, he has no motive to tell me that he was "sure" that the print run was 7000.
Maybe he knows somebody at DC or Diamond and got some inside intelligence...or maybe not.hell if I know.
In any event, even if the print run was as low as 7000, that is not inordinately rare and the book has *absolutely no* tie in to DC continuity, nor the Suicide Squad movie related scenery.
Some dooshbag sellers are listing it as " the 1st App. Gotham Girls"....which is an outright fabrication.Just saying, it is the sort of gimmicky hot book that speculators hear has a super low print run and morally bankrupt eBay flippers use any means they can dream of to get multiples of cover price for a book that came out 2 weeks ago.
Once CGC gets flooded with subs of this book,I think the price point on slabbed 9.8's will be around $25 to $50.
You just described BA 12.
-J.
Not at all.
BA 12 sells for big duckets b/c it is the 1st app of HQ....it being the 1st app. of HQ, it inherently has a lot to do with the Suicide Squad movie.
Scooby Doo Adv. 12 is just a short ordered book with a HQ appearance.
Is it worth a $100 in a CGC 9.8 slab?
yeah, I think so.
I actualy wouldn't be surprised to see it go past the $100 mark in 9.8 b/c of it being short ordered and HQ completionists want the book.
I actually just bought a copy via ebay for $12, shipped.Looks like a 9.8 , and if not, I'll press it.
I've got some a Mad Love and 2 HQ 1-shots (1st DC app in continuity) and 2 Detective 570's coming back from CGC in a week or so.
I'm going to list them all on ebay at around FMV BIN's.......and put up the Scooby Adv 12 at $49.99 w/free shipping.
Betcha the raw 9.8 Scooby 12 sells at that price off of trickle down interest.
Ahem. Ducats
