Surfer #3 cgc 9.4 on heritage... $1000!!!????

[g-man]

I was tracking this on heritage and could not believe my eyes. Is there a Mephisot movie coming out?

[sfilosa]

That was my link when I started the "Hey when is Silver-Age going to Crash" thread.

 

And it was only at $800 at the time.

I'm not too surprised as that cover is on par with issue #4 and it seems to hit $1,000 at the same grade. Yes I know that issue 4 has low distribution (still seems plentiful to me) but what do you feel is a reasonable good price for issue #3? They seem to be snatched up pretty quickly once they hit the market.

There can be some unexplainably nutty prices on heritage stuff - remember that ToS 58 9.0 that sold for $1000 last year? $1000 on SS 3 9.4 is way high - I bought a 9.6 for about $800 last year and sold my 9.4 for like $600 - maybe this is my copy! I cant believe wht people are paying for Iron Man 1s in 9.2 and above now either -there was a flood of them awhile ago. Same with SS #1. Definitely the time to be moving high grade marvel/dc silver and bronze.

[Mephisto]

I guess I missed to boat to upgrade my copy. I was surprised to see a 9.0 with Cream to off-white hit $355 on ebay.

If only my 9.4 #2 was worth that much. You would think high grade #2's would be tougher because of that crazy purple color.

 

As for #4, there are probably more high grade #4's out there than #3's. The low distribution myth got busted several years ago, while it had a low distribution on the news-stands, the rest were later recovered by a dealer who shall remain nameless, and redistributed through collector outlets over the years. #3 never had the same appeal as a supposed "low distribution" issue, so fewer ended up in the hands of collectors.

 

But high grade silver is just insane no matter what the actual distribution. Just like any 9.8 bronze. Seems like people have no problem kicking in a 20% premium over the last selling price just to bag one.

isn't there a Silver Surfer movie rumor??

[Silver Surfer]

I hope so. It would make for an excellent movie adaptation but I suspect that they would have to shoot the FF movie first?

[nearmint]

isn't there a Silver Surfer movie rumor??

 

Yeah, starring Jack Black.

uh - no, that's Adam Sandler for the Silver Surfer........

I don't think Hollywood should touch this one. While I think that SS is a great character and a huge part of Marvel history, can you really imagine a movie based on an alien who rides a surf board?

I agree. They should add it to the list of made-for-DVD animated films that Lion's Gate is doing under its agreement with Marvel, but I can't see a live action version succeeding in the marketplace.

Good point never thought of that but I'd say that its not as hokey as something like the Batmobile. If they can get past this point, it has all the fixins for a great story.

i don't know about this one - with the technology that's available and given the right portrayal, i could see this working. (perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part).

O Ye of Little Faith. Shame on both of you.

 

George Lucas is going to start pre-production on the first SS movie after Episode III comes out in 2005 that features Howard the Duck as Norrin Radd's unwitting sidekick. The original Howard costume has been digitally recreated by the CG artists at ILM, and the Surfer will be played by the silver version of C-3PO from Attack of the Clones.

Jim,

 

I think you should change your sig line to Turk's famous words from Frank Miller's first run on Daredevil: "What you need is vision. And vision, I got."
