I'm interested in what the four 9.9 blues will fetch when they get auctioned off on eBay. Or better yet, what another 10.0 SS would get if another one ever pops up.

 

Less than what the current owner paid ^^

I've never even held a 9.9. For those who have, is there really a noticeable difference between a 9.9 and a solid 9.8?

 

Not that I can tell....I've seen some with bindery ticks

 

I have a 9.9 that I can't honestly tell why it's not a 9.8 (shrug)

I've only ever gotten two books come back 9.9, and the spine, corners, etc. of those books were perfect.

 

I think that some books that drop from 9.9 to 9.8 are probably due to less "visible" issues like fingerprints and such. That's just my theory.

In general I agree with Nexus - I would buy OA over a slab 11 times out of 10 from the same book if prices were relatively close. I think, as was mentioned, that the pool of slab collectors is greater and slabs are seen as a more liquid asset than a typical OA page. As much as we all love the comic media 1st, finances have to be a consideration.

 

definitely a lot more liquid, but not near as cool.

 

Yes, agree on all of this. OA from a new series will typically run $150-300 a page. In comparing values, that's about 50 copies of a #1 issue at cover price, on the low end. For the purposes of speculating/flipping/day trading, the 50 comics have the greater upside. By far.

 

For the hardcore fan, though...there really isn't much that's as cool as a nice piece of OA from a favorite series. When a single copy of a comic starts to cost as much as a piece of OA (let alone more), I believe the OA is the way to go, even considering liquidity issues.
