SpaFon Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Just picked up an "Image Firsts" Saga #1, and the $1.00 price is outlined in blue. On the image website the cover shows an orange outline: http://www.imagecomics.com/news/260/SEVEN-IMAGE-COMICS-1s-FOR-1-EACH Just wondering if that is just the promo image, or is there another printing of the "Image First" cover? Before it gets lost in the banter, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sending off my 1-8 + #7 ghost this month to get slabbed (see you in six..... Months). It's all good. It will be an awesome surprise in the summer. Assuming straight submission you'll have them back before the end of April. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hope so.... My last straight sub took just shy of 5 months. It's all good either way... It will be a great day when they come home (subbing ten total - 2 extra #1 first prints). (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeanius Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yes (until it goes down). I love this book beyond words. I think it is the greatest thing since...I can't even remember. To me it's the Breaking Bad of comics, which is to say, the book that makes me go, "Holy *$*@#, who knew comics could be that good?" No one is more bullish on Saga. That being said, I think the prices on runs of 1-6 (or 1-8) are a bit inflated at the moment. I can see issue 1 continuing to increase, and perhaps to a lesser extent, issue 2 as well. However, I just can't see 3-8 maintaining the prices they are bringing in on runs ATM. Historically, it is only issue 1 (and maybe 2 and 3) that will hold value in the long run. Just look at YTLM. Issue 1 is smoking hot. Raw VF/NM copies are in the $160+ range. And issue 2...? Maybe $25? Issue 5? $3 book. So...my advice would be to blow out full runs at $120 or so and then use that money to buy two or three raw #1s (effectively trading issues 2-8 to acquire more #1s). It's a good idea to strike while the iron is hot on issues 2-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) i think YTLM prices would be even higher if the covers looked like the characters in the book. i feel the same about Preacher. its the covers that stopped me from collecting the floppies. i know im weird, but there are atleast some others that feel the same way. For Saga, #1 is going to be a classic cover. i feel the same about issue 4 and 5. and possibly 3 depending on where Izzy goes in the series. Issues 2 and 6 are visually great, but lack "star power" imo. Edited to add: i feel that if Saga goes the way i feel its going to go, the RRP will be a very expensive book. That Cover is beyond Epic imo. Edited January 5, 2013 by ThoseBackPages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yes (until it goes down) So...my advice would be to blow out full runs at $120 or so and then use that money to buy two or three raw #1s (effectively trading issues 2-8 to acquire more #1s). It's a good idea to strike while the iron is hot on issues 2-8. I have a set of blue 9.8s for myself, and a set of raws for myself (cause reading is the point ), and just one extra set of raws. Not sure if I am ready to part with them, but you do make a good argument. That being said, I did buy three #1 1st prints for $60 total ($20 each) from a LCS earlier in the week when things started going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
