NigelTufnel42 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 A little steep for a raw, but these have been hot. One just sold on these boards for $350 for a 9.6 yellow signed by Dragotta. I'd definitely try to make an offer. Not saying u will see it happen again but 2 CGC 9.8's just sold for $385 and $362 within the last month. Buying a raw w/ no guarantee of grade at the same price is risky. i dont think they'll end under $400 again. those both ended while NYCC was occuring do you mind tell us how much you paid for your blue 9.8, please? I got mine for $362. I am still "pitching a tent"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I was watching that auction. Was going to bid, but I'd just sent four copies off to nycc to be signed and slabbed. Now that I hear you won it, I'm glad I didnt bid, so everybody can get a bit of RRP love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carter3175 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I would be weary of the $375 bin or best offer listing. No way of seeing the bottom edge or bottom spine corner of book. But the seller states "High Grade" so it has to be a 9.8 candidate right? I am always VERY suspicious when a seller crops a picture to not show all 4 edges of a book. you took the words out of my mouth not full disclosure on condition that thing would have probably sold by now with a full photo of the book it may look great but his pictures don't help. Lets all meet back here at 6:34 pm on 10/26/2015 then we can all laugh about how much of a steal a raw EoW RRP for $375 would be. I agree on the way this is represented though...cropped picks and "High Grade" WTF does that even mean. Does this help? When posting from a mobile device you have to crop it. The best offer option was and is available. If I don't sell the book its all good and fine by me either way. I did not list this book on the boards purposely and I have my reasons for that. Just send me a msg if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Yup, was stoked to snag that forbidden planet 9.9 Still havent heard back from the dude, but I'm assuming its in the bag. Edited October 27, 2013 by Meta4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely try to make an offer. $350 for a 9.6 is kind of high, right? I bought that one. I'm pretty happy with the price given it's double signed and has the sketch/remark of Death on it. I haven't seen too many like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats...although based on the pics u posted on here I would say someone got a great deal. Just out of curiosity did u consider getting it graded?

comicsnyc22 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Smaller print run and wider audience than Saga. To me, this book has a ton of room to grow. I sold too early, but I'm happy a boardie got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katchoo Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I got my raw RRP for $100, which is obviously a cracking deal but I think it would probably get 9.6 if graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emezy360 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I got my raw RRP for $100, which is obviously a cracking deal but I think it would probably get 9.6 if graded. I paid about the same I think it was $125 or $150 had a possible 9.6 hoping for a 9.8 Edited October 27, 2013 by emezy360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymenoceros Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Back in June I paid $100 cash and trade of two books for my raw RRP (Hellraiser Emerald City Con Variant and Tech Jacket #1... which I snagged for $1 each before that deal) My RRP copy has a slight NCB corner crease from when the cover was folded and would grade approx 9.2 I think. MIGHT press out to better, but might need advice on if that's accurate or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emezy360 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You should throw up a picture maybe we can give you our opinion on grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymenoceros Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You should throw up a picture maybe we can give you our opinion on grade. Other than that, pretty much flawless from what I can tell. Sharp corners, no smudging on back. This "crease" goes in about 3 spreads deep into the book's pages.

I would say a 9.4 not 9.2 looks like a press might help push it to a 9.6 my it would be great to hear other opinions back to walking dead.

Rhymenoceros Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks for the ! Definitely curious as well. I've never had a book pressed but if this is a good candidate I just might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeintheashes Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Pressing doesn't help color breaking, and that's a pretty serious color break. It's only one, but it's pretty bad. What's the rest of the spine look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
