Idk. A raw high grade copy of Goon 1 sold for $500 recently. It’s probably worth every penny. Too many years looking and still no cigar. 

If it's Avatar and truly high grade, definitely worth it.  

The book is so hard to find.

there are several up for sale right now. "truly hard grade" is awfully hard to tell from a scan, although i suppose some people are really good at it. I've seen enough CGC 8.5 and 9.0s that look just as good, it is hard to know if you have a nice 9.4+ or a nice 8.5-9.0. They're all nice looking books on a computer screen

Anyway, I'd like to own that book. How much I am willing to pay, I am not sure. With moderns and the 9.8 or bust mentality, if the book explodes due to a good movie, I wonder if a 9.4 will move as proportionally given there aren't that many of these? I have #2 in 9.8. funny cover. chainsaw with big bulging eyeballs. who thinks of this stuff?

Personally, I'd be happy with copies of 9.4 and 9.6.  For many of the early books, including Albatross.  

Census numbers are pretty low.  Honestly don't believe there are a ton more copies out either.

#2 has a lot of 9.8s.  That might be the exception. 

But #3 definitely dips down a lot.  This book would likely have more submissions (not as hot as a book like #1).

A guy not getting hyped up in the current hysteria. Where were Goon 1s in late 2019?

Not sure why he isn't hyped his art/storytelling is amazing.  Still can't believe I found a #1 Avatar at a Coliseum of Comics location about 6 years back.  Was just sitting in the back-issue bin for like $4-no backing board just a bag.  Stuck it in the stack of books, went to counter and the employee paused for one nanosecond when she saw it and just rang it up.  Never have I gotten any stealth find like that in a COC shop before, or ever since.

I don't get it either. It is one of the few books I bought for a while, but when the schedule got all messed up I just stopped asking when the next issue was.

A dealer friend got one for $1 at a sidewalk sale I was at...I remember him holding the book up to show me. he sold it shortly after for $350.. it was around 8.5 raw.. still hurts lol.

Could be that. Also, there are some "speculation" article(s) out there that say she will be Wolverine when they bring the live action back.

yeah could be.. I had a couple X-23 #1 2010s sell after sitting for close to a year last week

Mine is at least a 9.0 maybe 9.2.  Even with some pressing love it will never be a 9.8, but I would be happy with a 9.4 slab.  Book has got to be pretty darn rare.

That's pretty sweet.  Especially not so long ago.  

Many moons ago,  I bought anything I could find of Goon.  It's been super slim pickings for a long time now.
