PGM X-Men 99 30 Cent Variant

[theddybear-migration]

Just picked this up tonight. Trying to get an idea if it's worth having slabbed. Seems to be fairly sought after by variant collectors. There is obviously a tiny chip up top and a pretty good ding buy the x-men heads that might press a little out just looking for opinions. Thanks

8.0/8.5

[TempusFugitivus]

Does look 8.0 or so now..........

 

A good press could bring it up to 9.0 or 9.2 if no hidden issues [stains/cut-outs].

[Would possibly be even higher except for top front cover chip]

 

An 8.0 variant sold for $105 in 2012.

 

However, a 6.0 did $125 and a 7.0 did $141 in 2012.

8.5s have sold for between $153 to $234 but no sale since 2010.

 

A 9.0 sold this year for $239.

But in 2011, four sold ranging from $300 to $530.

 

The highest graded 99 variant, a 9.2, went for $975 back in 2009.

There are earlier sales of 9.2s from $260 to $812.

[The $260 was the very first sale, years ago, and looks like a steal.]

 

One thing to note: Prices for these variants are steadily rising over time.

 

You should proceed immediately by sending that book to Joey Post or Matt Nelson for evaluation and pressing. You may have a $1000 book on your hands.

I have another book I've already talked to Joey Post about. Just wasn't sure how bad of a defect that top chip was. There aren't any hidden issues that I can see. Just that chip and that spot but the x heads. I almost didn't buy it because of the chip. The place I got it is not a traditional comic venue and they overprice and over grade almost everything. I go there because they usually have cheap moderns.
