MetalPSI Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 To whomever needs to see this You want this comic? 85% of asking is the lowest you'll ever get it for. Save yourself some time Actually amazed there has been more asks on this one, than the red. Red is way more hard to come by, only 3 known, whereas there are at least 8 known blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since I've been able to clear things up, yes those are mine I was told to put them up for a price I was comfortable letting them go for. Not expecting anyone to pay what I want, but considering FuFat put his up for 30k+, I figure what the hell. If we could find the missing 2 blues and 7 reds, that would be quite the spectacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a fair assumption to assume you haven't received offers of 85%? I let my GPA expire, I can't recall the market on these books.....

Have a black 2 for 10k on ebay for ya And you asked for the market, telling you what I paid should help.

I should think Well, we all know the seller of that book, and the history of that stash....I think it's safe to assume that price is unrealistic.....I was the first buyer to 'set the bar' on The Maxx Black over 10 years ago, and people thought it was crazy to have someone paid $500 for Maxx Black. ComicSutra did a great job marketing these books, and they were very rare - but from 2008 and before the demand for the Maxx Ashcans was extremely low....it took many catalysts for their market to get where it is today. I look at a lot of other rare books from dead characters and the price trend is a slow, gradual decline off its peak. So whatever I pay for these books now, I"m happy knowing long-term I'm probably not going to get that back and will more than likely eat the loss. Conversely I just paid 20k for a TOS39, worst case I'll be able to get my money back from that at some point if I ever decide to sell - but in all likeliehood it's going to increase in value over time.

MetalPSI Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 The only input I have is that I know if I sell, these are so rare, I'll never see it again So most likely they are going to sit with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

▫️ Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 In the 90’s I was fanatical about finding chase cards. Anything rare, limited or special in some way. I remember being in awe of those Batman and Superman hologram cards and all those other gimmicky trends that are pretty cheesy today. I no longer collect them but still have a few rarities left including my Mr. Gone redemption card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I saw a post about the Maxx #5 back cover that never was and it made me think of this one. Sam wrote that this was going to be the back cover of The Maxx #0. This is actually half of the original art board and the other half was eventually used and published as a cover.
