Yes Saga is a great book. The #1 issue can be purchased for under 200 in CGC 9.8. It's not selling for 600+ dollars for the regular cover. Saga like the Walking Dead are exceptions to the rule. They are great modern books that should hold their value. But besides these two books there are not a lot of modern series that have been hits. When I say hits I'm talking about for investment.

I was offer enormous 1 nycc cgc 9.8 for $630. Is it a good deal? Thanks

 

 

You do know its a second print correct? IMO this comic will be lucky to be worth $100 five years from now. NoWhere Men, Todd the Ugliest Kid, the Sixth Gun, etc. had copies that were going for hundreds of dollars based on movie hype and other hype. You can't give them away today.

 

I guess if you bought this with the intent to flip it in the next couple of months you could make some money but if your thinking about holding it as an investment for at least 5 years I would avoid it at all costs.

 

I know someone who doesn't have one.... :whistle:

That's why I always say there is a huge difference in buying a book for a place in your personal collection, and buying one that you just intend to flip for profit one day.

 

I could spend way more on a permanent fixture of my PC, with no regrets, personally...

 

Like a Saga RRP :cloud9:

Why because I'm stating an opinion that buying a 6 month old book for over 600 is not a good decision? In this case you are correct I don't have one but I have 5 phantom #1's that are all 9.8 candidates. I have a couple of every other issue including issues #4 and #5 that are CGC 9.8. IMO they are all over valued and if anyone wants to buy them at FMV I will sell all of them today. But even if I had the NY copy I would say the same thing.

 

I know there are ample guys that come on here and talk up the comics they intend to sell but I'm not like that. I have lots of modern comics that I plan to sell soon that IMO are way over valued and I have no problem saying that. My opinion(s) on certain comics has nothing to do if I own a copy.

If you don't mind me asking, what did those Treasury's cost you a piece.

I understand if you do not want to answer. I'm just real curious about them.

So Time Warp didn't have any? I used to buy lots of back issues there still on the stand.
