valiantman Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I should've bought multiple copies of this book back then. Had so many opportunities to buy 9.8's for like $350 back then Yep. CGC 9.8 Harbinger #1 was $350 in March 2015. They're about $700 now. Doubled in six months. CGC 9.8 Batman Adventures #12 was $1,700 in March 2015. They're about $1,700 now. Valiant certainly equals garbage. Do people dress up like Harbinger at comic cons? I see many girls with the same body shape of Zeppelin at comic cons. "Zeppelin" was a somewhat cruel nickname in the 1990s Harbinger stories for Zephyr, whose name was Faith Herbert. She's still an important character in the Valiant books... a press release came out about her this week: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/exclusive-valiant-puts-faith-in-houser-portelas-hands-in-january Her first appearance (and the other primary Harbinger "kids") is Harbinger #1 (1992). Staying on topic, it's easy to see Faith/Zephyr as the "anti-Harley"... she's overweight, super friendly and positive, and she thinks the best of everyone.

B-Smooth Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Why not come up with a new name.... Like...... "2003 - current: The New Age".. or something else. I started this thread in the copper section, and it got moved to the modern wasteland for whatever reason. As discussed a million times over in copper, the period after 1992 has been affectionately called the chromium age, or what I call the dark age. From what I read, the consensus is that the "modern" age really began with Ultimate Spider-Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got a long way to go before hitting those 2008-2009 prices :thumbsup: The CGC census for 9.8 has multiplied about about 800% since those 2008-2009 prices. As a result of the supply increase, the cost to own a 9.8 has gone down about 65%. From a "market cap" standpoint, existing CGC 9.8 copies of Harbinger #1 went from about $40,000 total to about $100,000 total. Individual copy prices haven't increased due the supply increase, but the "collective value" is 250% of 2008-2009. The movie announcement basically doubled the "collective value" from $50,000 to $100,000 overnight.

valiantman Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The "total market value" of all CGC 9.8 copies of Batman Adventures #12, by year: Batman Adventures #12 CGC 9.8 Universal 2010 - 28 copies, $100 value = $2,800 2011 - 35 copies, $150 value = $5,250 2012 - 65 copies, $250 value = $16,250 2013 - 100 copies, $700 value = $70,000 2014 - 200 copies, $800 value = $160,000 2015 - 347 copies, $1,800 value = $624,600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldOrder Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) I wish we could rename the 90's the garbage age or Valiant age haha Good call on equating Valiant with garbage... I know this is totally worthless: I use them as coasters. Jesus Christ dude! Garbage age I obviously meant everything else besides Valiant hence why I said OR!!!!!!!!!!! I love Harbinger #1 I owned probably now over the years 40 copies and got 20 CGC 9.8's. Who do you think you got your last two CGC 9.8 GPA sales from? hmmmm I wonder. You do realize what my old screen name was right? Only reason I stayed with comics in the 1990's was because of Valiant. However Harbinger #1 is 110% a coaster book compared to Bat 12. Unless Harbinger gets on the silver screen expect Harbinger #1 to come back to $300-400 in CGC 9.8. That book has really tanked over the years from it early CGC 9.8's.

Bird Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I guess we all gotta start somewhere. And technically I started with nothing, so i'll take this for sure for a first step (especially in the tight grading period it appears to be right now).
