Are you looking through your long box and envisioning getting rich? Those aren’t my books although I have a lone NM+ FF 175. You’re looking mainly at old sales from last year. If you check recent sales within the past day you can see a bump in sales. Hot books get cold so quickly in the comics world. You kinda gotta be quick to the market or you miss out Edited January 5, 2022 by littledoom NP_Gresham and jjfversion1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR1979 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Pizzazz #1 ? I see that today, likley due to that thread copies on eBay are quickly drying up. The reason I mention is that folks have pointed out to me that topics here do not affect the Market, well I postulate to them that on low population books that perhaps posts here do influence the market.

MAR1979 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) All the CGC graded Pizzazz #1's on eBay are now gone. For those not following it was the 1st Star Wars extended universe story (Cover dated Oct 1977, on-sale late June 1977). Pizzazz #1 was on-sale same month as Star Wars #4. This means the first Star Wars extended universe story appeared 2 months before the adaption of the film concluded in Star Wars #6 and before most had even seen the film!https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=pizzazz+cgc&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Complete=1 All went today. Regardless of what was said in the ASM194 thread, posting in this forum can affect the market. Pizzazz #1 can simply not get any hotter as it completely sold out! Unlike ASM 194 where there over 3 Dozen CGC graded currently on eBay <sarcasm> yeah that books "rare" </sarcasm> My post here may have contributed to book sales jump to light speed: I do wish I had thought to purchase one of the 9.6's on eBay before I made my posts :sigh As Jackie Gleason said "I've got a [opens mouth wide] BIG MOUTH!".

All copies gone on eBay and it's very low population graded book. About 20 total in all grades 11 of which are 9.4 and lower. The "Irony" here is the book can't get truly hot as it's actually too rare. Unlike ASM 194 of which thousands of copies exist and that's in 9.6 and higher Randall Dowling and IngelsFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ASM 194 thread there were folks stating how "rare" a book it is with only 469!!! in 9.8 . It's become my "Niagara Falls". But yeah maybe I'll cool it down a bit rather than being perceived as "that guy". Edited January 6, 2022 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
