Constantine on NBC!!!!

98 posts in this topic

Pls explain to me.

A tv rumor for an independent gets people crazy.

A tv confirmation for an established character get people luke warm.

 

I don't understand this.

Is it because the book is ready beyond cover price?

 

Constantine was a great book and he is a fantastic character from the period I would describe as the golden age of Vertigo. The problem is that it was so good that this is about as cheap as you will find a CGC 9.8

Is 9.8 always necessary?

Don't other grades experience price appreciation as well?

 

Yes, other grades will appreciate for sure. (Might not be worth slabbing, but they'll appreciate.)

 

I agree. I was just giving you an example. I think this book will appreciate regardless of a TV show or not. It's Alan Moore stuff on one of Vertigo's most popular characters who now leads a JLA team. My point was this has been a highly sought after book for years. You aren't going to find them in a bargain bin.

I see. So only when there is a chance to grab things at cover or less will there be interest.

 

No. Not in my opinion but this book sells for 50 times cover for a very fine copy. If you think it will hit bigger, you should buy it. I just think it already has a well established value. Of course I've seen Thanos first app blow up twice so I could be wrong. good luck either way.

Alan Moore's reaction will be infinitely more interesting/entertaining than the show (if this actually makes it on the air)

 

100% agree. I wonder how much better some of his other stuff like LOEG and the Watchmen would have been had he participated ? He has had a very large number of books made into movies. It's weird.
