Miracleman 1 Double Cover Coming Back From CGC...need help selling

[comicalgems]

I'm not sure how to price it, one cover graded 9.0 and the other 9.2 and I don't know whether to list it on ebay or try a boards sale for it. For that matter looking at GPA data, I can't even figure out what's a fair price for it. Any ideas?

Also I'm trying to figure out if there's a place in the census that denotes double cover books. I don't see it off hand.

There isn't - double cover books aren't singled out in the census (nor do they give you extra points in the CGC registry sets).

 

As to value, I don't have a clue - it's super cool that it's a double-cover, but it's a slabbed 9.2 copy of Miracleman #1 which, if it wasn't a double-cover, would make it almost worthless. In all honesty, you'd probably get more money by selling it raw than slabbed ...

A 9.8 double cover sold for $124 in July 2006 which was and is about twice the price for a regular 9.8. I believe that book was 9.8/9.8. There is also a 9.6/9.8 double cover and if I remember right, they were both posted up in the double cover thread.

 

9.2 regular issues sell for about $20. There are way more high grade regular issues than double covers so I would think $60 to $75 would be a good price.

9.2 slabs sell for $20 once in a while (but mostly have no takers) which is about the cost of the slabbing and shipping from CGC, so the book in that grade doesn't really have any value.

 

I can't imagine tripling/quadrupling that number for a double cover.

 

Heck you can snag slabbed 9.6's for $35, and 9.8's for $60.....so a 9.0/9.2 double cover $40, around there. That's if he wants to sell it. I think he'd have luck finding a buyer at that price. I think it would sit for a long while at $75.

Hi, I own the Miracleman no.1 9.8/9.8 and have done since... July 2006... I thought it was a bargain at the time! The book is gorgeous and has survived various purges in my collection! I wouldn't sell it now. I think you should get 27 extra points in the registry for double covers

 

 

There is another 9.8 double cover.

 

I would sell yours as raw, 9.2 will kill any book.

It never hurts to try to sell something on the board. It is free and if it doesn't sell, you can always take it somewhere else.

Thanks for all the input guys. Been afk for a while.
