Back in March I bought my first slab. It was the first in a run I want to collect in all 9.8+ It is Neil Gaiman's Sandman. It has always been my favorite comic series and I finished a whole raw run, except variants, back in the early 2000s, including getting several autographed by Neil Gaiman and some of the artists. That collection, and all my other comics and collectables, were destroyed in flooding not many years later. So now 20 years later I decided it was time I started again, but this time I am doing it in 9.8s or better. Unfortunately the series has fallen out of favor of collectors, with the exception of 3 key issues. Which means over half the series has fewer than 10 copies in 9.8. This is mainly because people don't bother with getting them graded. Which creates a sort of false rarity. Which means prices fluctuate wildly for sales since there are so few being sold. Then there is the fact that a TV series is coming for it. That will throw the prices around as well, but I don't see a lot of people getting the series graded beyond the first 9 issues maybe. As for the series I think it will be canceled within the first season like the rest of the vertigo TV shows that came out. The only reason Lucifer has lasted so long is its about sex and a hot guy, which will definitely not be the case of Sandman. So I think in the end it will just drive the price of the keys up and that's about it. But so far I have 7 9.8s for the series. So still 75+ to go.
