dscott Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I'm looking to join the club at the 1.0 range. What is the current market? That's a big ? for me.. I am not sure how that 2.0 sale on Heritage would change the market for lower graded copies. Not at all a 1.0 sold for 1175$ on ebay after that sale as mentioned above. You can buy a 4.0 on eBay right now for 4750$ that 2.0 sale was a fluke. Edited July 4, 2012 by dscott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toytastik Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Still pricey, but I'll start looking. I have a .5 graded ASM #1. It probably would be a 3.0 if it wasn't torn in the middle of the book almost the size of about 1/2 the book. It looks like someone's wife got mad and ripped it, but stopped midway through. The way CGC put it in the case it looks awesome. So I have a nice displayable ASM #1 for a low price. If only I could get so lucky on Hulk.

dscott Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) With the junk that was missing from the back they paid for both. That book will never upgrade. Was it a nice looking 2.0? Yes if you never turn it over its probably the nicest looking 2.0 you will find. Was it worth the price it commanded? In my opinion no. I would rather spend and extra couple hundered and buy a book that isn't missing a chunk and presents well. However, to each his own.Will that price affect future low grade copies? I wouldn't bank on it setting any standards when there are still 3.5/4.0s to be had close to the same price. Edited July 4, 2012 by dscott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roulette44 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It certainly is worthy of the price rising......should be clearly the #2 silver age key in price (surpassing FF1) in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree 100% but I think that this price tag is a few years away. Closer to 2014/2015 as you mentioned above. The movie is slated for 2015 and I agree the book is important. You guys know me and you know I love the Hulk. I offered 4600$ on the 4.0 on eBay. Was countered with 4750$ and have been debating it. I was about to pull the trigger last night after I completed a huge sale. But my buyer ended up buying a few thousand dollars less than I expected, so right now I am waiting for Chicago to roll around. Does this book have great upward potential? Yes should people invest in it now? Yes with out a doubt. Is a 2.0 worth 4200$? No, not while there are 4.0s to be had for just a couple hundred dollars more.

I think it'll take time for a 2.0 to become a 4k book regardless of presentability but I don't think you'll be buying 2.0s for much less than that much longer.

I agree with you 100% on this,if you want a Hulk 1 you better get one before it's too late.It's not like there are as many as an AF 15,there is far less Hulk 1s out there,getting one for cheap is fading fast.

dscott Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I agree with everything you're throwing out on the subject. I think our time frames are a little off as I expect the jump to occur in 2-3 years as opposed to 1-2. I know of at least 3 Hulk 1s right now that are 3.5/4.0s that are cheaper than that 2.0 or are just a couple hundred more. Books that are not just on eBay but are in stock with actual convention floor dealers. Once those dry up I'll start to worry. Like I said that Hulk 1 4.0 on the bay keeps calling my name if I had sold the extra books last night that I thought I was going to sell it would be mine. As it is I fully expect to spend 5k on a 4.0 before september. I just don't want to spend all my cash before Chicago. I'm coming off a very expensive Heroes con where I went almost triple my suggested budget between buys, art and Cgc. Once the coffers restock Hulk 1 and Xmen 1 are 1st on my list to acquire and I'll be done with the big Marvel SA keys. Then it's on to smaller keys or DC I haven't decided yet.

Junkdrawer Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Ther are reasons why Hulk 1 is often compared to AF15. One thing thats can be compared and is evident with AF15 is that the fuse is lit at both ends. Yes obviously high grade books will sell at mind blowing figures, but also down in the bottom where there are more people who can afford to drop a few grand you will see some fantastic sales like the one mentioned. Expect to see more Edited July 5, 2012 by Junkdrawer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
