  1. Wolverine: The Origin 1 Museum Edition 311/499

    About as nice a book as there's ever been. Was once slabbed as a 9.9 by "another" company. Was removed from the slab before I obtained the book, but still have the original label and will send with the book. COA included.

    Can't find any sales info on this one, so lets say $250

    CCS won't press that book.  It has an embossed cover.  Don't know if any other pressers will do it of not.  I had one that I sent to CCS and they rejected it because of the embossed cover.  I think they gave me credit for a future pressing.

    Little trick i use is a microfiber cloth, like you use for eye glasses and some hot breath.  Seems to get rid of fingerprints, as long as they are recent and the oils haven't seeped into the cover.

     

    9th prints aren’t embossed. DC stopped doing that with the later printings

    I don't think the 9th print is all that rare, as some sellers make it out to be.  I usually see several of them up for sale on E-Bay at any given time.  In my experience, the 10-13th prints are harder to find.  The 14th print is more common, as that one came with the Batman/Joker Killing Joke Action Figures.  At one point CGC also recognized the 14th print as the Direct Edition.  Took me awhile to prove them wrong and for them to correct the census, so, even though the Direct print is listed in the registry sets, you cannot add 1 to that spot.  Not sure what would happen if i were to remove mine from that spot, but, it is the same book as the 14th print.

    There are 28 total graded 9th prints
    12 total graded 10th print (4 in 9.8)
    14 total graded 11th print (2 in 9.8)
    9 total graded 12th print (2 in 9.8)
    6 total graded 13th print (none in 9.8 or higher)
    42 total graded 14th print (this is the same as the Direct print, as I proved to CGC, so, no data for Direct print graded books anymore on census) (1 in 10.0 / 1 in 9.9 / 17 in 9.8)

    I had the number 1 set, in the census and probably the most complete set of any registry set, until someone with a 10.0 overtook me.  I've been clawing away at retaking the top spot, but, CGC won't recognize the newsstand editions.  I have a few books that are extremely rare, such as the 4th print Book of the month Club (9.6) and the 6th (9.6), 11th (9.4) , and 13th (9.0) print newsstand editions.

    I have seen prices rise and fall over the last few years and have been guilty of overpaying for a book or 2 to complete my collection. 

    P.S. - Just don't tell anyone that I think the 10-13th prints are harder to find until I get ones in 9.8 for my collection.

     

     

    I agree, which is why I was so curious. Last I checked, there was only 1 on there listed for $1k. I picked mine up my LCS a couple years back for $30. I have the set and don't particularly want to break them up, but the possibility of a 900% profit is hard to pass on.

  6. Recently, it seems as though Batman: the Killing Joke has seen a slight uptick in value (at least in first printings). Other printings haven't seemed to change much, but according to recent sales on eBay, 9th printings are outrageous. Are they really that rare that some people are willing to pay upwards of $800 for a issue or do we assume those aren't legit sales? Just wanting others' thoughts.

  7. Started this in the comics general thread, then realized this was probably the better spot.

    I submitted an issue of UF4 for pressing and grading about 3 months ago. Since then, CGC has come out with the new Miles Morales labels. Does anyone know if there is a way to go in and ask them to apply that to my book now? It still hasn't been graded as it's in the "received" status still. Thanks!
