X-men #94 CGC 9.4 Prices?

[maraxusofkeld]

Hey guys, I thought this was intersting, X-men #94 CGC 9.4 has seemed to drop in price considerably over the past few years. Was there a warehouse find? Any guesses? Thoughts?

Just more copies hitting the market and the natural price correction that follows.

 

Oh, and pressing too.

I lost a cool $700 on mine.

If you go back through some of the forums (say 5-6 years ago) there was a notion, true at the time, that X-Men 94 was tougher than GSX 1. The census led credibility to this argument and for a time, say 18 months to 2 years there was a real upswing in prices. Buuuuuut as other people have posted in this thread, supply started to catch up, copies began to get 'the treatment' and the prices have correspondingly come down.

 

 

Very traditional market forces at play in regard to X-Men 94. In my personal instance I was lucky enough to resist the temptation to upgrade my 8.5 copy when 9.2s and up were and I will probably pick up a 9.4 this year where in the mid-2000s I was looking at a 9.0 or 9.2.

Do you guys think prices will continue to drop or has the book reached a plateau?

 

Personally, I've seen alot of 9.2 and 9.4s with a disturbing amount of spine ticks lately.

As long as the pressers continue to ruin the value of true high grade books,see this and many other books values dropping.

The 9.8's took an even bigger loss.

From a high of almost 30K in early 2010 to the most recent sale of $10,399

i'd also add that cgc's standards are not as tight as they used to be. there's a lot of 9.2 books in 9.4 holders.

Same thing happened to me, as I do remember there being a lower amount of 94's on the census compared to the GSX#1. Oh well I do love the X-men, so am not that heart broken over it!

[seanfingh]

 

Nor am I. I was entranced with obtaining all Bronze Age #1s in the highest CGC grade that i could reasonably afford. After careful observation of the market, that became less and less appealing.

That is my observation too. A friend of mine told me he believes issue 94 gets a bump up from CGC because its so difficult to fine issues without any spine ticks.

 

I've seen 9.6's that, in my opinion, have more spine ticks than they should have.

 

I didn't realize the recent drop in value. Does anyone have Census numbers for 9.8, 9.6's?

It seems like the 2nd 9.8 of any big book incurs an immediate, big loss. I can see 13 copies in 9.8 causing a 2/3 value drop. One could project that with 25 copies it's only a 3 or 4K book.

OK I'm new to assessing the fair value. In hindsight what you says makes a lot of sense thanks!

[Dr. Balls]

I guess I don't have much to worry about with my totally rad 7.0 I have!

13 is a LOT in my book! Especially considering how many 9.6's there are. As popular as the X-men are/were, theres still only so many BSD's looking for a 9.8 copy when you can get a beauty 9.6 for 1/5th or so the price (thumbs u

I hear yah. Unfortunately if the raw copy I have grades out as a 9.8 I'm not helping the fair market value.
