Will the Green River madness affect the value of this book?

[MCMiles]

I can only assume that in all likelyhood, Redhook and/or Goonchild had something to do with the recent sale of a Strange Adventures #179 CGC 8.5 Green River copy for $412. Basicly 10X guide. That is also the only GPA recorded sale of this issue.

 

So, I am wondering (hoping) if it will influence what this copy might be worth. ( Probably not, I know)

 

Any Opinions?

I don't think it will have too much of an effect on the value. The GR came down to two guys trying to prove who was tops.

[frankiecastle]

no effect

[MCMiles]

Wow, such insight. Does anyone know if one of those guys did win the Green River copy book?

[BrianR]

Yeah It was Goon

[MCMiles]

Yeah It was Goon

 

I figured as much.

Yeah It was Goon

Are you sure, Brian? I am not fond of him at all, or defending him, but a lot of people assumed (including myself) that it was he who won the GR FF #45. It ended up being someone else (and the second underbidder was NOT GC - THIS I know for a FACT)

[BrianR]

I believe he was showing it off in the Show your newest Pedigree thread.

They have been advertising some miniseries on the GREEN RIVER KILLER for a couple of weeks on the LMNO cable channel. they have a promo covering the lower right hand corner of the screen during almost all programming.

 

The only reason I may watch any of it is to see if they mention the comic collection, as this guy ( nor the PA Comic Store owner who killed his wife 17 years ago) hold any interest for me

KILLER BOOK BABY !!!!!!!!

No GR's in your sig?

It's quite possible that it could have an affect. Someone checks GPA and sees that an 8.5 just sold for X, figuring something is going on that he doesn't know about, he overpays for the nicer 9.2. Not really that far fetched

 

A lot of people are also on the pedigree bandwagon currently believing that the pedigree book will raise conciousness and values.

They can still buy the FF 45 Green River for only a little under $4K...

Of course, the pedigree book isn't going to contain any SA pedigrees. That'll be Vol 2, which based on the time it's taken for the authors to get out Vol 1, means that it'll be a thrilling read sometime around 2020.

As one of those writers, I resent that remark

 

I guarantee it's coming sooner than you think.

Apologies, I was just joking. I didn't realize you were involved too. I thought the authors were just Ritter, Nelson and Stephan? What is the projected date for when the SA Pedigree book comes out, then?

[Guardian Comics]

I was brought aboard last summer in Chicago and have contributed a few chapters so far. SA book doesn't have a timetable at all, priority is to have the Golden Age book completed and printed ASAP.
