Rhymenoceros Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Anyone else keeping an eye on that RRP finishing today? 9.6 double signed and sketch/remark... Yeah, hope a boardie got it... I'm sure they did. Beat me out by $20... but I probably shouldn't spend $270 right now anyways!! Congrats to whoever got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzilla Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Good deal. It was posted on the boards a couple weeks ago, so we did get first crack. Love the red sigs, owner has a 9.8 in a similiar style as well. If I wasn't stretched so thin right now would have been all over it. Actually just got a 9.4 Sandman 8 Berger variant SS Neil Gaiman, that took up all my Xmas comic funds for the most part, very happy I own it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg1902 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It's a week out from Christmas. I assume that a lot of auctions are finishing low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 You are assuming correctly I saw 2 raw RRP copies sell last night for around $160 in NM or better and around $130 for NM-. I think you could make a little and maybe a lot for being patient with these for a month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg1902 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 +1 at that 9.8 Blue label for $350 all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 That $130 "NM-" was me. But if you look at the scans, it looks crisper than most of the graded 9.8's ive seen. Looked like it had no bindery tears whatsoever, and the back was crisp, pristine white. I think the dip in ebay prices on the RRP's is due to the holiday season, not an overall trend. And this is early to be dumping an RRP in my opinion anyway. Once the series hits 16-25 issues, I think we're gonna see just how rare near mint copy's of this book are, and see prices like the saga rrp was fetching last summer. I've got 6 east of west rrp's now. 4ss, 2 raw 9.8 candidates that i'm blue labelling. And right now, I'm planning on sitting on them for at least a year or two.

Meta4 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks! my biggest problem is that im running out of room on top of my collection shelf for all these cgc'd east of west books. Im going to have to start wall mounting them. The first box I had submitted at NYCC is coming back today too. All 9.8's SS, with one copy of each sketched. (Hopefully with a different charecter on each of them) 10 ghost variants double SS, 4 forbidden planet double SS, a copy of each of the regular issues double SS, and a double SS and sketched #4 blank variant. I love this series, and really see it going far. I think we just have to be patient. Trying to offload graded NM copys of rare books when the series has just reached #8 is crazy. Longevity, people. What were walking dead #1's going for when the series was on #8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meta4 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just using it to illustrate a point. Selling books (especially rare variants) before a series has hit #8 is jumping the gun. Not thinking this book is going to be "the next walking dead", nor do I care. I invested in this book because I love it. Its my favorite modern series since planetary. If it tanks completely, I'm still gonna be stoked that Ive got a wall full of signed nm issues, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarroChuck Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I love it too I made a decision on this book to only keep the RRP. I'm doing the Saga registry right now and trying to keep up with series is too much. The one thing I might do in the future is get EOW blanks sketched on by my favorite artists. I'm looking to get Mooneyham and Kindt sketches of some of the characters And Planetary is AWESOME also! Did you see the new hardcover omnibus coming out? I missed out on the Absolute Editions so I'll be picking that up for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Planetary is awesome and no way East of West tanks unless they get a schedule similar to Nowhere Men. The book is just too cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I did see the omnibus. I own the 4 first print hardcovers, and the absolute editions. Im trying to decide if I should sell the four hardcovers and buy the omnibus. Does anyone know if DC has been making these omnibus's with sewn bindings (like the invisibles omnibus)? That would make the decision for me. And I agree that this series is going to go far. I just wanted to clarify that I'm not some speculator just trying to hop on whats hot. Im obsessed with east of west. Ive got multiple cgc'd copies of every issue released, essembled a SS sketched run, a Double SS yellow label run, and a blue label run. Its turning into a sickness. Im probly only going to be selling the extras I've gotten slabbed to help offset the costs of my 3 sets. And even then, probly not for a good while. The wait between issues has been a good lesson in patience, but now I'm starting to get itchy waiting for an oversized hardcover "absolute" edition. Theres a gap waiting for it beside my luna brothers "absolutes"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
