Has the ASM 300 Craze Finally Cooled Off?

[Mac Man]

Barely an hour left and this copy in VF- (7.5) is selling for less than $20 on ComicLink. So, has the Amazing Spider-Man 300 craze finally ended? Or do you think this auction will suddenly jump at the last minute?

[MutantKeys]

It started dipping a couple of weeks after the movie came out

Is a 7.5 that desirable for a modern?

Is a 7.5 that desirable for a modern?

 

I think that may be the answer. If it was a 9.2 or better, then there might be data to compare with.

[alwaysbronze]

prices have dropped significantly. same for asm 252, 298, 299 and secret wars 8.

[Mac Man]

Well, I know it's a 7.5, but those were still selling for around $60-$75 easily only a month+ ago.

Looks like the movie hype is over. I'm still going to get my ASM 300 graded anyway.

[CAP Freak]

I think the ASM 300 craze is over but the 252 craze is going strong still.

[joe_collector]

Yet another "bleed the speculators dry" boat I missed.

The 252 has gone down, I sold a 9.6 for $110. I remember before the movie it was $170+

NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

 

 

I'LL PAY 1200 FOR THAT 7.5

 

[Mac Man]

Well, it's still a great comic, and a classic cover-- one I always enjoy pulling out now and then.

[AbsoluteCarnage]

No argument on that one my friend. It's going to be the end of a long couple years assembling my ASM201-300 run as that's the last book I'll be paying for next spring. I just put the payment out for my ASM-201-CGC-9.8 2 days ago. The madness begins. And I must say I'm glad I'm buying off another board member for the majority and not any more ebay shoots until I see those 5 rare books show up then I'll have no choice in the matter.

I`m not surprised its going so low on comiclink,i think it would go for alittle more on ebay.

I think AMS has droped off though, before the third pic i sold a AMS (vol.2)#36 cgc`d 9.8 for $176 i sold another 9.8 copy after the movie for just $100

It`s okay by me i stoped buying AMS due to the films jacking up the prices,now i can pick them up again. (thumbs u

[Mac Man]

Well, it's up to $34, but less than 10 minutes left.

Yeah, no kindding on the lower prices. I just picked up this low-grade (but nicely presentable 1.0 ASM 20 for $20 and the 2.0 ASM 26 for only $7! I've never used ComicLink before (aside from lurking), but I was happy with these prices.

As I saw at the SDCC, it cooled considerably.

Congrats on the 1st appearance of one of my favorite villains the Scorpion. I want to snag a copy of that in CGC 9.0 or 9.2 but will have to wait another year before I can start my "Spidey's Villains 1st appearances" collection as the funds just aren't there for that currently.

[Mac Man]

Thanks man! I was pretty excited when I was able to pick this one up for so little given high presentability. I was just surprised that the ASM 300 closed at only $37. Truthfully though, it DID close close to its OSPG value ($37.50 being OSPG for a 7.0 copy).

[CAP Freak]

Yeah I miss the Symbiote Craze... I sold my Raw 8.0 copy of ASM 252 for 110 bucks...
