DarthBane Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Holy I simply did not see this coming. At all. Man, what the heck....!?!?!?! I just wrote in another thread around 2012 and earlier this was available all day long between $350-$450 easily and in abundant supply. The wide range on price had to do with OW vs OW to W vs W pages along with spine wrap. Now since the Disney buy out, the 9.8's have been getting more scarce by the day. I have no doubt we will see sales blast through $2K if supply stays so thin the way it is now. Most likely you will have some folks who will unload as the movie approaches. And remember if you have a white page 9.8 with perfect straight spine wrap -- meaning no white spine or no crooked spine, those always fetch significantly higher premium against the typical price spread with those qualities in particular on this BA issue.

Dick Pontoon Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You are correct, although JS can be a tiny bit soft on grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majawi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 People bad-mouthing Stan Lee's signature on a Marvel comic is one of the most hipster, try-hard, unnecessarily contrarian attitudes one could possibly have. Please, get over yourself. How is it difficult to imagine why some folks would want his signature on a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Linguini Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I bought a copy of the cat for $80, put it on ebay for $250 and it sold in an hour. CGC 7.5 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I'm personally indifferent. If aimed at me.... - If it was for their PC, okay, cool. Get whatever you want signed. But why get Stan THE Man to sign a random Marvel book that he has no ties to, and then sell it on Ebay. It's ridiculous to me. That's all. If I am in the market for say a MN #98, I sure as heck don't want The Man's sig scrawled all over the cover on my copy. It makes zero sense to me. Zero. Once again, I respect what people collect. What I collect is NOT better than what "you" collect. But for people flipping books, I just don't understand the selection of comics they use to get Stan's sig. It is mind numbing, and I am just sick of seeing them all over the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mind numbing, and I am just sick of seeing them all over the market. I only have 2 Mr Lee's sig on a book he really didn't have much to do with, and that's ASM 301. It also has McFarlane's sig on it. I bought it because 1 it was a great price and 2 it has Lee's and Mcfarlane's sigs. and I thought I would not have the opportunity to get to meet either on of them. I have gotten to speak to Mr Lee a couple of times now, but not McFarlane. Edited February 4, 2015 by vader2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I can see it on a Spidey book, and I also have no issue with it as you want it in your PC. And really, does it matter if I have an issue with anything? Nope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slym2none Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If the inside of the Marvel comic has a title page that begins with "Stan Lee presents," then I have no problem with him signing it. It wouldn't be the first time his name is in/on the book, obviously. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat is the book to get for what? The Cat is not Hellcat. Greer Grant is Tigra, OK, so if you like Tigra you have to keep both the Cat mini-series and the Giant Size Creatures. Aside from this, anyone still insisting on the relevance of Thor #165 (story wise) have just never read the stories (or deliberately want to ignore a 40+ years of comics history). A cool cover, whatever you want, but nothing more. The story is also inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
