kimik Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Getting this back on track, I am seeing increased demand for ASM #130-200 this spring at shows. The non-#194 key/1st app issues have started to pop a bit already looking at GPA, and most issues are moving up across the board. It will be interesting to see how high #149 will go based on the early reception to Ben Reilly as a villain now.

At this point not sure why the character/property should have any fans as he's portrayed 180 degrees differently at the drop of a hat.

MAR1979 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Battlestar Galactica #1 - Late least year the regular/standard edition CGC 9.8W was around $100, the Whitman 3-Pack Distributed w/diamond price area + blank UPC was $150-$200. I see now the standard is going for $410-$430. They are all from same seller which gives me some cause for pause but the CGC certs numbers were different https://www.ebay.com/itm/265669147158 https://www.ebay.com/itm/265660949404https://www.ebay.com/itm/265644747285 The book has the Census Pop sweet spot numbers Speculators and Flippers love. Enough high grade supply to easily manipulate, but not enough that the book is everywhere. Books CGC Label CGC Total Avg. Grade 10 9.9 9.8 9.6 9.4 9.2 9.0 8.5 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.8 1.5 1.0 0.5 1.

P.S. My avatar on this forum was taken from a Galactica #1 cover scan but in my case the image is a nod to Avengers 181.

I'm sure there are lots of things to criticize in the art, but at first glance I would say 90% of why it looks so awful is the faces, especially the eyes. comic_memories and Engr62 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC costs at all-time highs and rising and they have NO interest in resolving a CHRONIC issue that does not seem to affect their competitors. While I did get stuck with a few I refuse to purchase any CGC slabs with Newton rings, something that has become exceedingly more difficult due to their proliferation.
