MadGenius Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Again. Lots of 9.8's to go around. +1 I'm sitting on at least 10-15 raw 9.8 copies of #1. With a 37K print run and all the advanced hype, the graded 9.8 supply will exceed demand at some point in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 When does #3 drop? This is the first new series I have anticipated reading since The Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddymagoo Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've just heard Fiona Staples say on a recent podcast that they will be taking a break after #6 and Saga will be back in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuff Ghost Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Cool, I rather them take a break in-between arcs then be late in the middle of an arc.. I guess the trade will come out one of those months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclemons Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Haha. $410 for a Saga 1 9.8 SS.

N/A Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The census is hardly common knowledge. Also when is the last time a Vaughan SS was on eBay. I wonder what a 9.8 YTLM would get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Esq Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 That's a real big number for a book with such a high print run (please dont' attack me and say that it's not a high print run) ... I wonder what an RRP SS 9.8 would bring $1K or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 it's the sigs, not the print run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what an RRP SS 9.8 would bring $1K or more? Print run isn't always as important as availability vs demand. Saga is going to be a book where BKV fans hold on to their copies. And as Branget pointed out, BKV SS are not in over abundance. Once again, availability vs demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Esq Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 it's the sigs, not the print run. It's the sigs when the print run is big, its the sigs and the print run when the print run is low or super low. It's basic supply and demand. There's 37K opportunities for a SS regular book and only 500 chances for an RRP SS book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Branget telling me to relax and that the SS copies of issue #1 would be available and reasonably priced when I was asking whether I should jump on a copy right that second or if it was ok for me to wait for a while and get the next round of books. I'm not paying $400 for a copy when I could have and wanted to pick one up at $150 a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses717 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Supply and demand. It was the only Saga 1 SS on eBay. It took off. Maybe people don't realize there's 21 of them out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got $450 for a #1 9.8 SS last year - it was an off-ebay transaction, so it's not in GPA, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Not all 21 are double signed. Several are Fiona only. I am dying for a double signed SS Saga 1, but I am happy to let the market settle out. First to market sometimes produces high results. I think Joel was preselling them at very reasonable prices. I didn't know this series was going to grab me like it did.

krighton Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 i don't see much use in trying to 'figure out' the irrational mind of a comic collector/speculator. Just because a variant should sell for higher doesn't mean it will. People simply want what they want, irregardless of perceived rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
