Harbinger #1 CGC 9.8 @ $405 & 21 bids. :o

New Mutants #87 CGC 9.8 @ $170 & 12 bids.

Deadpool #1 (1997) CGC 9.8 @ $150 & 3 bids.

 

Time to submit my Harbinger??!!??

 

Not at all.

 

VH1 books are at the bottom cycle in their valuations, pretty much all across-the-board. There was an overwhelming sentiment the relaunch would increase demand and value for the originals, the opposite happened.

 

 

Hmmmm.

 

So say that mine is a 9.8 (no clue if it is), raw it's what, like $50-$80?

 

Wouldn't it be worth it for the $200 price jump, or more??

 

Or are you saying "that's it", as in, that $200-$400 price is going to go down significantly?

 

Well there's been a lot of discussion that with the 'softening' in grading of Harbinger 1 over the years, a 9.8 is a bit more common. Not to sound like a , but under these old standards with CGC it is very unlikely your book would grade 9.8. Check the census, that's why the first few copies sold for over 2k. Then it churned down in and around $1,000, eventually sliding to $500, before now settling where it is now, around $400 mark. It has never hit $200 (aside from maybe one fluke sale).

 

I would agree that at $400 or so, it's not that bad of a purchase (I personally don't collect slabs), it more than likely won't go much lower, the floor is in - but the upside is very limited as well.

Super unlikely it will get back to $1k. But I digress; I've already beaten this subject to death on the VF boards.

 

If there's a thread on moderns that are cooling off (good time to buy), throw a dart at most VH1 books, and even some of the HTF Acclaims.

 

No, my question came down to if it was a good idea to get my raw copy graded if it has 9.8 potential.

My rule of thumb is to slab books that are consistently selling above $100. There are a number of those these days but I only slab those I feel have long term potential to increase. i.e. ASM 361, NM 87. Just sent a dozen to get graded. I also have 6 Todd #1 at CGC as I feel it has legs.

I am hijacking this thread a bit as I don't think this warrants its own thread:

 

Do not hesitate to submit a problem into Ebay's Resolution Center -- even if the seller says they will issue a refund.

If you do not submit a claim within 45 days of purchase date, you will lose your ability to submit a claim. In my case, it happened on a $90 item.

Ya, kind of think that way too. I think if it's like a $75-$80 raw, I wouldn't, UNLESS it has potential for a lot more growth, as you say.

At these prices, I wouldn't bother, unless you want it for your collection. My point earlier was that before CGC loosened their grading standards, Harbinger 1 was a book almost impossible to get in 9.8, mostly due to common defects on each copy. Even very adept graders subbed many books they thought were 9.8, only to come back 9.4-9.6. If you want the answer of a broader audience, go to the VF forums...there's a specific thread following just sales of Harby 1 9.8 (up to about 50 pages in length).

Shadowman #9 page 1 by Lewis LaRosa

 

DAN

 

you should post that in the Modern OA thread :baiting:

 

I am all for posting Modern OA in this thread that isn't for sale.

 

This page is nice.

 

I told the mods to sticky the 'this week in your Modern OA' thread so I am a little bias.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (2008) is seeing some heat.

 

GOTG #1 Sale

 

It's the team from the new film's first ongoing and it's got a relatively low print run for a 'Big Two' book, at about 36,000. Compare that with the 2013 reboot where #1 has a run of about 211,000 :o

Found a #1 but it was in VF+ (VF/NM on a fuzzy day) and several #2. Are the #2 worth picking up??? (shrug)
