peted76 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 ST 169 @ 27k !!! I reckon someone is waking up with some serious 'buyers regret' today. That's simply 9.8 mania gone wild right? I mean raw it's a $200 book right? ebay has an 8.5 listed at $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which would you rather have...... A nice Silver Age mid grade Xmen 1 featuring the 1st appearances of many A-list marvel characters, or a 9.8 of a Bronze Age Strange Tales 169 featuring the 1st appearance of a C-list marvel character? Don't get me wrong, I like Brother VooDoo but....... Edited June 9, 2021 by gadzukes Larryw7, Lpgk and Inhuman Fiend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro. Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) My only regret is that I didn't buy every ST 169 that I could find over the course of 30+ years for next to nothing. On the other hand, who knew? Edited June 9, 2021 by Jeffro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ST 169 9.8 has now sold for $27,000 I scooped up a 9.8 ST 171 (3rd appearance) for a mere $400 a few weeks ago figuring there might be a trickle down effect. It's amazing that in just 2 issues the value would be separated by that much. Uh....what?

Looks like a moisture mark to me. Good thing for sellers most people just see the cgc grade and have no idea how to grade. I have seen enough people pay 9.8 prices for 9.4 books or whatever and never knew. gadzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
