N e r V Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) The books enjoyed a nice run up (I think they were underpriced before) but I've noticed some copies sitting a bit longer at those higher prices so maybe we've hit price range with more resistance now? Higher grades (say 6.0 and up) are probably going to continue to climb though. I am looking for a copy of #4 still and some of my options are a cgc 3.0 at $850.00, a raw 4.5 at $850.00 as well or a cgc 5.0 at $1485.00. There's even more copies now available to me but people seem to be attempting to price the books just to see how much they can push the price (ok, that is kind of much of the market anyway but... ). I guess my point is Phantom Stranger prices are still kind of unstable in the market but it's been interesting to see how many hit the market after the recent price jumps. Either way it's a dollar for dollar good value in a hard to get series. Edited July 17, 2016 by Nerv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 The 1 is still very volatile....... the 2-6 segment seem to move quickly at 250+ per point...... the 6 that I just sold could have been sold to 3 other people..... a lot of demand.

N e r V Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Eh, it's on my bucket list (which is really,really long ) for now. I actually need #2-5 since I'm trapped with my #1 and 6 bookends still. Issue #4 is my favourite cover in the run. I think because Overstreet or someone had it in one of their cover galleries many years ago and that had an impression on me. There's actually many more copies I've seen than those three I was just using them as an example. I consider myself very lucky for making the bidding effort on comiclink in 2014 for my poor old 4.0 copy of issue #1 with OW/W pages. Just wished I paid attention sooner to this title.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It was only three years ago that I picked up this #2 on the floor of SDCC for $250. Even then I snapped it up in a heartbeat as it was the best deal on one of these I had ever seen. I'd been looking for a #1 for years and never found one at a reasonable price. Great series!

N e r V Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I haven't been following prices lately on issue #1. On CGC copies what's the spread looking like for 3.0 to 9.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I would love to upgrade my copies of issues 4 & 5, which grade out at 4.5 and 2.5 respectively. With current pricing and copies available for sale, I can't seem to find anything I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 PS can still be found for a fair price. I just picked up a decent raw #4 in the wild at a LCS. Nice mid-grade appearance, but tanning page edges, and a four pinhole bug chews on the spine, at least a VG/F. It was half the cheapest copy on ebay. I just moved but will scan once I get my scanner back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
