I think I've been burned by not waiting to sell my copies of Saga. I just don't want to get hardcored #1 again. I definitely burned myself by selling my extra copies of Saga too early. mine was more "I'm tired of buying/selling for a bit taking a break" and cleared some stuff out. shoulda just held on--as it is obvious the story and art are both there. regretting it now on those! but alas can't win them all! got our personal run and a couple issues towards the 2nd/3rd run we are rebuilding edit: I can help keep that grill going with mind the gap #1s Edited January 20, 2013 by riveraXVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Solo Dolo Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think we can talk about Saga AND about your fears of a bubble, Joe. Saga has heated up based on merit. Is it a bit frothy? Yes. Is the price escalation being fed somewhat by buyers of multiples? Yes. But, at the end of the day, I find some reassurance that there has been a reasonable degree of correlation between quality and price increases in the current market. There's no doubt that this is one of the better comics to have come out in the past year and a half. Brian Vaughn's plotting and writing is superb and the art by Fiona Staples is a treat every issue. I just wish there were more copies out there. How's that for contrarian? It's as I say, if more people would take the chance and pre-order books they think are going to be exceptional, there would be a bigger pool of copies out there and the bubble effect might be a bit more muted. When everyone catches on after the fact and then there is a scramble for a limited number of books, it actually can hurt the market in the long run either by discouraging new collectors who feel they don't have a chance to compete on the early issues, or by ultimately running the risk of injuring collectors who paid bigger bucks for books and not being able to resell them because the prices got so far out of sight that they popped and the market collapsed. If I took a chance on every book that I thought was going to be exceptional, I'd be stuck with a mess load of Epic Kill #1's! SAGAH! #1 had about a 40K print. It is no Walking Dead or Peter Panzerfaust in regards to print runs. Most thought it was going to be good... But not this good. I personally never heard of Saga until a few weeks after its release. I read it. And I really, really enjoyed it. What I'm getting at is that sometimes people gotta actually read a comic first, to appreciate it. And that's exactly whats happening with SAGAH! right now.

Wushugushu Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Series is amazing. Sad I just dropped one of my #5's and put a small dent in the top corner.. One of the issues I enjoyed more than some others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miso Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Wonder how much a 9.8 double ss with a quick sketch on the back would be worth. Edited January 20, 2013 by Miso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
