So it's already more than doubled, and that's just on the news of a movie. There are 108 listings for NM 98 in a 9.8 - some of those are for the facsimile, some are for lots. Here's an auction with 24 bids, currently at $1,325 with a day and a half left to go: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403958415665 Here's another with 18 bids, currently at $1,125 with 6 and a half days left: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155390251003 Census count has next to nothing to do with it. Wouldn't a better comparison be Batman 655 vs 656 vs 657? The demand for deadpool is way higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the original comparison to New Mutants 98 because the person who posted said that Batman 655 would never increase in value because it has too high of a census count in a 9.8. I was using NM 98 to illustrate that a book with a massive 9.8 census count can still increase in value based on the demand vs. supply. It's not meant to be a "book vs. book" debate, but rather a supply vs demand example - to say a book would never increase in value simply because it has 950 graded 9.8 copies on the census is silly.

NM 98 is still somewhere because for some folks it is their grail. MM 1 and SH 1 aren't gonna be anyone's grail.

What about something like Hulk 181 (although the better comparison to that is probably ASM 300)? Actually, maybe ASM 129 is a similar book.

Ms. Marvel #1 and She-Hulk #1 are more examples on the way down. For a collector, sure. Investment, no. It is more a function of demand than supply with books like he two that you listed. When the movie/streaming hype bubble bursts on books you see how keys they were to begin with. Look at Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (1st Carol Danvers) as a good example. In 2018 CGC 9.4 copies went from $3,800 to just over $12,000, and then tanked post-movie to $3,600 as a low. This happens consistently on books with intrinsically low collector demand like Ms. Marvel #1 or She-Hulk #1. This pattern is fairly consistent with movie/streaming books like we are seeing with DC right now. Who will really care about Booster Gold #1 post movie/streaming appearance? Sell into the bubbles, and buy back what you like later if you want to. 500Club, aardvark88, LudaToke and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I overpaid due to FOMO. Always liked Damian and kicked myself for not having these before the announcement. Talked myself into snagging a 655 9.8 "while it was still cheap".

They tried the same shtick over in the Copper Age forum, but there were too many Booster Gold fans there for it to work, so it migrated here.

Yes I can see all the kids caring about Booster not really. A talking raccon and a talking tree are at least more interesting. Gunn will make it work I am sure, but man is this one a stretch.
