iszisz Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 @baslug I stumbled across this thread and your brilliant spreadsheet while Googling for some old Sam Keith artwork. I have a couple of things you can add to your spreadsheet - notably a Black no.2 Ashcan. It’s #12. Sam Keith was one of my favourite artists back then and I loved The Maxx so I picked up as much rare stuff as I could (and could afford) at the time. Among which were a no.1 Blue ashcan (number 859) and a no.2 black ashcan. Pic below: ▫️ and baslug 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, that’s my old SS 9.8 Blue! I guess I should have held out for $40,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite put my finger on it, something just doesn't seem right, maybe it's the asking price higher than the yellow label AF15! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalPSI Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Still astounding how much graded copies of Maxx go for, not to mention the ashcans and other oddities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Ultra Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Just picked up a copy of Primer 5 yesterday. It was in a bag behind Primer 4. Was talking to some guy at the table who saw it first. He said he was too lazy to look behind, and pay up the princely sum of $2 for a nice VF/NM copy. spreads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that many. That wizard 1/2 test book is a complete farce, why anyone would pay 1 or 2k for something published by Wizard is beyond me! For the buyer's sake, I really hope no one pays more than a few k for those books, unless you want to take on the risk of maybe having to sell it down the road for a colossal loss.

Not so much who printed them but rather how rare they are, I suppose. More than 1k for anything Maxx is absurd in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wizard 1/2, (a publication that's hard a large influence the speculation of comics) just seems like a manufactured collectible to me (and I've owned multiple 1/2 golds in my life). baslug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with you but: For *years* before the run-up in the ashcans, Maxx 1/2 gold and Glow-in-the-Dark # 1 were the only Maxx books worth money. and As a huge Valiant fan, the one X-O Manowar book that eluded me for years was 1/2 gold. I know own 5 copies. I both acknowledge it is a manufactured collectible and consider it canon to X-O vol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
