Holy is issue 1 in free fall in 9.8, about a 50% decline so far

 

I couldn't believe it either. I was thinking of buying one and I saw how far it fell. I guess the hype during the show made it fall off. Or people really hated the last episode.

 

I thought the build up to the end was great and the last episode was the best. Nice how it all comes full circle to the comics.

 

GPA tells a different story, the sales figures don't lie.

 

The show has not built up the fervor pitch of hype to sustain it, while it is off the air.

 

Even Walking Dead slabs see a decline in FMV when the WD is not on the air.Not to the degree that Preacher 1 has but that can be attributed to preacher having only been on for 1 season, the show has just gotten started.

 

It'll spring back up in FMV, once the trailers for season 2 are aired and when season 2 starts.

 

Preacher is one of the highest rated shows on AMC.

 

It will be on the air for enough seasons to run the course of the full 66 issues series....with some differences in plot direction and the like, as we saw in season 1....by the time we get to the end season 3, my bet is that the book will be a steady seller at around 60% the price of WD #1.

 

That is why I'm in no rush to rtake my 3 raw copies of Preacher 1 to Baltimore to have them graded onsite.I'll wait til I can have Ennis sign 'em.

 

Again with this :doh:

 

It's rated 6 out of 11 shows on AMC (and one of the shows below it was a mini-series).

 

People desperately wanted Preacher to be the next WD, but it's never going to happen - it just doesn't have the crossover appeal that WD has.

 

There's no question that a Preacher #1 in CGC 9.8 isn't a $200 book anymore, but the days of it being a consistent $1k+ book are over too & ain't coming back. Those prices were predicated on the show becoming a huge success, of it crossing over & hitting the mainstream market similar to what WD or GoT has done - which was an insane notion to begin with, considering the subject matter & tone of the comic book.

 

I love Preacher - it's in my top 5 of my all-time favorite comic book series - and I want the TV show to prosper & succeed as much as the next guy because I'm enjoying seeing all the familiar stuff on the small screen. But continuing to push the narrative that WD-levels of success are just around the corner is disingenuous and smacks of the ridiculous self promotion from which most of your posts seem to suffer.

The Emperor has spoken!!!!

 

 

Preacher 1 in CGC 9.8 hit a low for 2016 yesterday.

 

4 copies ended yesterday, all were listed auction style.

 

3 universal 9.8's and 1 SS 9.8 (Ennis,Dillon,Fabry and Cooper sigs, no sketch)....$406,$499,$433 and a fairly decent showing on the SS 9.8 at $1276.....2016 GPA high for a SS 9.8 is $1500 (signed by Ennis & Dillon).

 

So, as long as there are roving quadrants of insufficiently_thoughtful_persons who list a book via auction, while the show is off the air, with multiple copies being offered simultaneously.of course the price is going down.

 

The show has just started, in relation to the comic, season 1 ended where the first issue basically starts.

 

Ye of little faith....

It's the sellers fault... lol

 

 

If you don't understand the logical fallacy of 3 copies of the same book ending via auction within a 6 hour period......

 

BIN's historically perform better than auctions, to begin with, unless a book is red hot.

 

Add in the fact there was 3 9.8's , all ending within 1-6 hours apart, bidders had an increased pool to try their luck with....add in the fact the show is on hiatus intil 2017..

 

1+1+1=lower prices realized than the sellers would have achieved if they had a better grasp on the market.

 

And yeah, those 3 copies can be sold at a 10-20% profit now (net after eBay takes their 10%), without much resistance via BIN.

$400-$500 for a relatively common (by today's standards) modern age book, even if it used to be more, sounds pretty splendid to me. $1000 was just stoopid. it's an interesting show, but it's not going to have anything like WD mania. Heck, WD #1 was worth a pretty penny before the show. Sure, Preacher 1 in 9.8 probably was too, but I have stupidly passed on nice $5-$10 raw copies before it got hot.

The 3 previous sales were about $125 to $200 more....why would you be satisfied with a loss of $100 to $250?

This book sells well enough raw that it does not make sense to slab now. I had one in my to slab pile (bought as a 9.6 a year and a bit ago) that will be on the wall this weekend at a show at $400 - $500 (have to finalize that).

You're getting that for raw's? Graded 9.8's are only selling for $400-500 now.

This book's price inflated sky high because certain people in our hobby predicted the show would be the next WD. Hence the x2, x3 projected prices. Those who believed it are insufficiently_thoughtful_persons, and they will always be insufficiently_thoughtful_persons.

The show is not Walking dead, I dont think the directors of the show wanted it to be either. Its a good show nonetheless, and a good book to own.

But despite the harsh tone of the nay-sayers of late about this series, its not a bad stock, nor is it a bad show. Certainly not a bad book

 

Its just not Walking Dead, stupid.

The 3 previous sales were about $125 to $200 more....why would you be satisfied with a loss of $100 to $250?

it's not a loss until you sell it for a loss. the person who sold it for $400andwhatever might have had $40 in the book.

 

stuff goes up, stuff goes down.

 

I "lost" $100K in my 401K in 2008/2009. Sure, I wasn't satisfied with that, but I didn't jump out a window either.

This book's price inflated sky high because certain people in our hobby predicted the show would be the next WD. Hence the x2, x3 projected prices. Those who believed it are insufficiently_thoughtful_persons, and they will always be insufficiently_thoughtful_persons.

The show is not Walking dead, I dont think the directors of the show wanted it to be either. Its a good show nonetheless, and a good book to own.

But despite the harsh tone of the nay-sayers of late about this series, its not a bad stock, nor is it a bad show. Certainly not a bad book

 

Its just not Walking Dead, stupid.

 

+100000000

 

UNLESS you absolutely need the $$, it is never a good idea to run in auction. BUT people do all the time. I've done much much better in bin/bo type scenario's. I literally sold a card for about $100 more than one in auction, all within the same day.
