Legion HQ Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 That Usagi Yojimbo 1 CGC 9.8 at ComicLink is up to $1700 now. Am I missing something? The previous high was $750 in November, and the handful of sales since then have come in under that in the $600s. PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimebuster Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I don't want to sound like a broken record, but Usagi Yojimbo Summer Special #1 is the more important book.  Don't get me wrong, Usagi #1 is also cool, but not as cool.. ectocooler, Jeffreykli, PKJ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reprints the albedo stuff, has new material, and is the first Usagi solo book. It predates #1 by half a year or more. Plus it has a cooler wrap around cover with ninjas and other long time characters. I think speculators are driving #1 up due to the Netflix show and haven’t really done their homework.

Crimebuster Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) That's a crazy price. I bought my restored 8.5 for $2000 just a few months ago! Edited February 27, 2021 by Crimebuster ghn999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two issues also sold: 9.4 for $11,872 (though this one was in an original red modern label, so upgrade potential when regraded is a possibility), and then a 9.0 sold for $7,100 (which is what makes the restored 6.0 seem so expensive...that was just under half of an unrestored 9 price!). ectocooler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectocooler Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I’m guessing it being slightly more affordable and also the last one at auction out of the 3 might have given it a bump. I meant to bid on the 9.0 but forgot. Hopefully some more go up for auction soon, it’s definitely a seller market right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimebuster Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I think for some books there seems to be a high floor these days that's not proportional to the price of high grade books. Rather than being something like "it's $800 per point, so a 2.0 is $1600 and a 5.0 is $4000 and a 9.0 is $7200" it's more like "any copy in any condition is going to cost you at least $3000. And then, if it's above a 6, it's another $1500 per point on top of that." Just making up number here but I feel like I'm seeing that a lot more with keys recently across the board. Low grade books with prices that are much higher than you would expect given the cost of the same book in high grade. I think there are just a lot of people who want to own a copy in any grade and will buy the cheapest one they can get - so many of these people that there's a higher proportionate demand for low grade books. WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
