Why is Amazing Spider-man 300 going for so much?

I was looking on EBAY and saw a few listed over $700

that seems like a crazy asking price

 

I get it's the 1st full app of Venom and he's one of the most popular spider-man villains, but there are a ton of high grade copies. Just a few months ago a 9.8 would cost around $300. Now a 9.8 could cost $700+

 

I don't get why 9.8s are going for over $600

 

It's only the original cover, the variant cover doesn't sell for near as much

 

At this point my only chance of getting a 9.8 would be to get a high grade raw copy and hope it hits the 9.8 mark

 

I wonder if Amazing Spider-man 361 will ever hit that point.

I noticed this myself. There has been a big bump. I've been watching this issue for about a year. From what I've seen it's price spiked almost three times the price from what I initially began watching it at; RAW. Almost every copy on the Bay is slabbed, whereas there were much more raws last year. On top of that; plenty of auctions and astronomical BIN's. I'm sure Sony recently confirming that they have both Venom and Sinister Six films in the pipeline did not hurt.

Movie hype doh!

 

I should have bought a copy when 9.8 was only around $250-$300

WHEN WHERE THEY $300 FOR A 9.8? I agree that its a high priced book but prices are not really that much higher than the last 2 years. You can get a better price on some of the other comic sites as opposed to Fee-Bay.

 

In December 1998, Marvel released a reprint of ASM #300 with a 'Chromium' cover in the Marvel Collectible Classics series:

 

Amazing Spider-Man 300 Marvel Collectible Classics (1998)

 

This appears to have become more collectable than the original with high grade prices well over $500 (not surprising given that the print run was only around 3,300). Some people like the reprint because of the low print run ...To me it's a reprint.

 

GPA: last 2 years. AMS #300 9.8

I've been looking for a 9.6 white pager. The asking price on ebay for a 9.6 has been over $400 the past couple months. This books really shot through the roof lately... It could at least have waited until I got a nice copy. :grin: $400 for a 9.6 is nuts but seems to be the going rate...?

They were selling in 9.6 for around $150-$175 on here a few years ago. But then again, Batman Adventures 12 CGC 9.8 was selling for under $100 for a few years ago on here. Try and find that price now.

Prices are always contingent on supply and demand. With this book, even though the supply is there, the demand is greater. I believe the reason for that is, the hobby across the board has accepted this book as the key book of the copper age. It has all the elements of a key, first full appearence of a popular long running character, iconic cover, popular title, and a hot shot artist. The fact that it is readily available actually helps the demand, the movie rumors aren't hurting either. I think the people that compare this book to Hulk 181 and AMS 129 are correct. I have seen dealers that don't touch anything after 1975 with copies of this book in their inventory, it's a book that you know you will sell every copy you have at any show.

I still don't get why this book is going for so much now

 

Demand, demand, demand.

 

Watch it!

Oh, I thought you said "Dune, Dune, Dune!"

 

Continue on with his education.

 

In my opinion, this moment is when the full potential of the movies was unlocked and we have been exploring Pandora's box ever since.

It's only the original cover, the variant cover doesn't sell for near as much

 

There are no ASM 300 variants, only reprints that were produced a decade later.

 

I was a little confused by that statement as well. Maybe there is something we are missing.

 

But I don't think so.
