shortstack comics Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It's crazy how much #1's are going for. Glad I have all of my copies and printings already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhurley Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have a heartbreaking story that turns out good about Chew #1 and me... I started collecting comics in 1991 to about 1994 and didn't start up again till last June. That is the month Chew came out and I went to my now regular LCS and picked up Chew and a bunch of other comics. I decided to put Chew down and buy these new things to me called variants. I did this about 3 more times and then on my 4th time realized it was sold out. It took me till #3 to finally realized what I did..I went on feebay and bought #1 , #2, #3 and 2nd print of #1 for about $45. I sent Chew #1 in to CGC two months ago and it came back 9.8 Just sent #2 in and hoping for the same results. Thanks for letting me vent I feel better now--eventhought I should of bought all the copies at my LCS I did get a great deal for a 9.8. Now I have Chew in my pull list--its a great story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) I just lucked out and ordered 5 copies of Chew through Previews. It looked cool. I read it and decided I'd collect it. I have mix emotions on its popularity since it's costing me an arm and a leg for high grade CGC's. I did realize a few days after the release that it was hot but I went to no less than a dozen LCS and not one had ordered it.

dhurley Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I think the Chew Market is huge right now-- if this one sells for $275..then a 9.8 SS would prob get $350..I am just happy I got my 9.8 already http://cgi.ebay.com/Chew-1-First-Print-CGC-9-8_W0QQitemZ270539384974QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3efd67688e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I think it's a one time auction. Ego and Tax refunds at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhurley Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I think it's a one time auction. Ego and Tax refunds at work. Most likely you are right..it is funny how people get into bidding wars and before they know it they "won" a comic for almost double what the market is.

The low feedback guy who threw in one bid at the end was from Asia (even though I clearly state U.S. and Canada only). The other bidder, who won the 9.6, actually retracted a bid of $280. The reason given was that he couldn't contact me. I was certainly available and answering questions. These prices seem to be a fluke and unsustainable on the surface, but I wonder. It seems to me that amount of first print #1's up for auction (both raw and graded) has decreased over the past several months. I expected to see a pile of 9.8's go up after my auction ended, but it hasn't happened yet. The tax refund theory probably is a factor, but these last two auctions have had enough motivated players to spark bidding wars. It seems too soon to make a call. I'm very curious to see how the next couple 9.8's end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozad Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Doubt it will ever be sold. I think Rob wants to keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
