So I see lots of renewed movement and interest for Amazing Spider-Man #252. Copies in CGC 9.8 are clearing $200 and eBay "NM" copies are finding 30+ some watchers. What's the deal here? Why now? hm

 

NM+ hits $31 on eBay

 

zzz We have been getting $60 for 9.0 - 9.4 raw copies for two years now at local shows.........

 

Unbelieveable....I am so glad I've been hoarding them for the past year

 

I believe that one of the other boardies that sells with us has been getting as high as $80 for raw 9.2/9.4 copies here and there as well.......

Wait, so are people already going crazy for MoS #18 now?

 

Is it already getting as much hype as X-Factor #6?

 

This is so unbelievably stupid doh!:facepalm:

 

MoS 18 has been selling quite well for awhile. Anywhere from 10-25 dollars for eBay NM. Most of the eBay sales have actually been under-priced as the listings typically sell within a few days. But no, it isn't getting anywhere near the hype that X-Factor 6 is getting. Not yet, anyway.

 

Over the past few months MoS 17 raws have been commanding a higher price than issue 18, although I think the reason for that is that there have been significantly fewer copies available. With the 5 printings of 18 that book is always readily available on eBay.

ASM 252s have been commanding decent prices for years now. This isn't news. If you've been hoarding them, you've been paying a good price for them too, because they have been $50+ books on E-Bay for a while now.

How is MOS 17 NM a $40 - $50 book?

Its just, theres a big price difference between 17 and 18.

 

I wasn't expecting it when I was pricing my issues out!

 

You should sell advertisement for your website on the boards so I could get more youtube video hits.

The MOS 17 is harder to find than the 18, you have to remember they killed superman because the books weren't selling and they wanted people to notice him

Wrong.

 

They killed Superman because the original plan for the big event of 1992 was the wedding of Clark and Lois. DC didn't want them to do it in the book at that time because they wanted the wedding to take place on the television show first. That's why the television and comic weddings took place at around the same time.

 

After the creators found out that their year-long story arc plans were scrapped, they decided to "kill" Superman instead. They had the death, and return story arcs completely planned out from the beginning. The only decision left was how long to keep him dead. They knew they had to go a few months with no ongoing Superman titles being published to try to sell the fact that Superman was really dead.

 

The Death of Superman animated DVD has an extra feature where they show the creators brainstorming the wedding, then when those plans got scrapped, showing how they planned out his death.

Dan Jurgens came home one day only to hear the sounds of a man yelling "superman, superman". It was me. With his wife.

 

He killed superman as a personal vendetta.

 

There was a bleedingcool article about it, so you can't really argue with it as not being fact.

I really think people buying MoS 17 really don't understand the difference between a cameo and a full appearance. Or the buyers are flipping and they are new into the hobby or they are just greedy dumb card collectors.

Or - and this may be a shocker for ya - they just want anything to do with the Death of Superman storyline, from lead-ins to actual full appearances.
