Spawn 80 - low 200s?

[The Less Blob]

There seems to be an uptick in interest in Spawn, particularly some of the harder to find issues, buy sell or hold? I have amassed a nice group of these now. Any word on movies/TV coming out? Some of the sales results seem to be all over the place though.

You can get some decent money for quite a few issues from 150 to 200, but they don't move particularly quickly.

McFarlane wants to do another movie, just needs someone to grab onto it I guess.

You could look at it a different way as well.

 

People who initially started collecting this series in the 90s likely would have abandoned it around #100... I know i did. But those people likely now have expendable income and want to finish off the run or re engaged with comics (childhood) , add the continuous talk about a new movie, low print numbers post 100 makes them hard to find, I know I'm having a hard time finding 120-150 in NM shape.

Logical assessment.

I might sit on them a little longer, but when I see some of them getting $8-$15 a pop it is very tempting as it isn't like i have 100-200 or 150-200 i can sell as a nice clean run, i have some gaps.

I have been keeping my eyes open for those issues for a buddy of mine. They are tough to find...especially the 130 & up.

Try finding the newsstand editions of Spawn after issue #99 in any condition. A daunting task to collecting them all.

I'm in the same boat. For me it's difficult finding affordable copies. VF copies still fetch high prices in my neck of the woods for any issue over 100.

I made the chart below a few years ago. It pretty much tells the story.

 

Spawn is a tough run to complete in 9.8 or above. Take it from me.

 

[The Less Blob]

I'm going to figure that sales started shooting up right after 216? the homage covers in the 220s seem to have been ordered a lot.

[newshane]

Sales were probably propped up and artificially inflated by the ridiculous stretch of dealer incentive variants starting from 219-235.
