Preacher 1 CGC Question

[Solar]

Hey. I just got a 9.8 on this book and I'm trying to decide if I should sell it. There is just no pricing info on it so I'm not sure if its worth it (GPA doesnt list it as ever having sold). I think the census on the book is 6 9.8's out of 85 submitted with none higher. Any idea what this book would go for?

The slab is worth more then the book. Raw #1's end un-sold for $5.00 on E-bay.

Yet another case of Modern Book mania....

That's actually a quality series though... sure, the market for it is in the crapper, but it deserved most of the hype it received, IMO.. it was actually a good product and had some substance behind the hype.

No doubt! A terrific read, but easy to get book. I picked one up a few months back at Tysons for $5.

 

You might get a little action b/c it's a 9.8. Hold onto it for now. Sell it when you start hearing "Preacher 2" rumors.

I can only dream about living in a world where a Preacher film is inevitable.

I agree Bronty that Preacher was a thoroughly enjoyable read....my comment referred to the decline in the value of the books from their heyday, not unlike some other Modern book runs.

 

I had heard a couple of years ago that a Preacher movie was under consideration. Guess it's on the back burner. But if they can make [!@#%^&^] like LXG, Preacher should be a given. Just think of the fun the Church would have with it.

Here here. The fact that it isn't worth any $ shouldn't be taken as a reflection on the quality of the series. I own all the trades and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to read an outstanding story.

Bid, and help me liberate Cerebus #2 from Bronty's grip!!

I think you'd have a good chance of getting around $100 if you listed it on Ebay. There are a lot of Preacher fans, and a CGC 9.8 is almost impossible to find.

[Solar]

Thanks. That's about what I figured considering 9.6's are around $40 according to GPA. I might hold on to it for now. What was once hot will often be hot again in time.

[kimik]

Right on Solar. Look at what Valiants are doing again. What makes your 9.8 especially nice is how hard this book was to get off the shelf in that shape in the first place.

I agree with Bronty, amazing run of books. Can't wait for the sequel. Whenever that may be?

Sandman 1 is even tougher to get in 9.8 and it goes for $225.
