wizardseye311 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 There's a 9.6 coming up on the 7th. Any predictions? Will watch We'll see if my theory about bronze age 9.6's holds true. Unless it's a Hulk #181 or ASM #121, #122, or #129, or anything along those lines, that they don't command very high prices like the 9.8's do. That last 9.8 Conan #44 went for almost $300.00, and I doubt this 9.6 coming up can reach half of that. Which, theoretically, should be it's value. The difference in condition should be noticeable, but compared to the 9.8 that just sold, I don't think this 9.6 book is any worse than the 9.8 with that weird upper left corner it had. If the 9.6 does hit $150.00 then you might ask if the 9.8 is really worth $150.00 more. The answer of course would be that there are only five of them, and if you want a 9.8, you're going to have to fork over the scratch to get one. Especially since the last one to go up for sale was about a year and a half ago. I was interested in it, but that corner and page quality kept me away. I didn't want to get into a bidding war over a book I wouldn't have been happy with, but who knows when another 9.8 will surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etanick Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I didn't think there was any demands for Conan 44. I have 3 or 4 copies in the 9.6 range or better sitting is a box somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etanick Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) they are worth that much in 9.8? sheesh..dug 3 of them out and they are all in the 9.6 range...no way 9.8, just 1 or 2 tiny dings on the spine that broke colors but that are enough to prevent the books to get 9.8...the yellow color made it hard to see the ticks but they are there...here are 2 of my copies [/img] Edited July 6, 2013 by etanick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 they are worth that much in 9.8? sheesh..dug 3 of them out and they are all in the 9.6 range...no way 9.8, just 1 or 2 tiny dings on the spine that broke colors but that are enough to prevent the books to get 9.8...the yellow color made it hard to see the ticks but they are there...here are 2 of my copies [/img] Those are pretty nice. Like the Red Sonja #13, many of these suffered from "bad wrap syndrome" where you get that white line down the spine from the back cover showing up on the front. Bad bindery work caused it. Yours didn't suffer that fate which is nice to see. There are only five 9.8's out there, but like most bronze comics, no shortage of raw copies. I was looking on eBay, and copies in VF+ to NM are readily available for as little as $5.00. So their not worth that much unless you can get a 9.8, and that's the trick. If it comes back 9.6 you're cursed with a book that might not be worth the cost of grading, but if you can get a 9.8, and sell it in the right setting, the price jumps like crazy. If that last 9.8 on Heritage was what I'm looking for, (a real 9.8 ) I would have gone to $300.00 on it. Just for the Red Sonja image on the cover. Because it's really the first cover image of her where you can clearly see the chain mail bikini. Savage Sword #1 and Conan #43 she's mostly obscured from view. On Conan #24 she's in the BWS outfit. So on #44 Marvel put it out there once and for all. #78 is a great cover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etanick Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 neat...I didn't know about the costume issue. yes, 9.6 and below for this copy is quite plentiful. I think the reason I chucked my copies in a box and forget about them was I tried to sell them for $10 a piece and no one cared to buy them when I had them for sale. , if my copies had that miswraped with the white spines, I think I may have a couple of 9.8 here but the well centered cover took the hits at the spine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 CGC doesn't deduct for miswraps. So you might have a shot if you have any that are. Here's a Red Sonja #13 with a really bad miswrap, but still gets a 9.8. The label makes them tempting, but you really have to look at the book to see if it's worth it. Compare this one to Gyro's #13, and ask yourself which one you'd rather have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardseye311 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Your #13 is one of the few 9.8's that is nicely centered. That's a great book right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardseye311 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just found this. Red Sonja #1 Phantom Variant. I think it's the 9th or 10th variant for this issue. Is this what the "She Devil With A Sword" has been reduced to? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
