When will the New Mutants 98 bubble burst? 1 1

[FineCollector]

Here's my two cents so listen up people!

Deadpool is being marketed to death! That's according to us adults. Kids frikkin love Deadpool. My son is obsessed. Yes got swords, guns, sweet kick skills, he can heal, and he's funny. If I were and 8y/o boy I'd love him too... Which I do anyway but not the point.

Point is, if this generation grows up continuing to love the character, then yes, it could be this generations spider-Man or what have you. That being said, I think the bubble Will shrink but not burst. I think these kids may eventually be looking for NM98.

Maybe....

 

I'm hoping I can sell mine and buy another on the cheap.

 

So, the market for NM 98 is kids and people that sound like you? I don't forsee a lot of $1000 bills coming out of those wallets, after the speculators have had their fill...

[Gem_Mint]

I hope it doesnt burst before I can press and fast track mine.

[NTHstars]

If this actually sold at this price I would lose it.

In the long term, yes. That's why I thonknit will shrink, but if the movie does well there will be more. I look at it like Harry potter. Kids grew up reading Harry potter and the franchise is still taking in to a of cash. There is a Harry potter theme park at universal studios I think.

 

Anyway, just an opinion. Take it or leave it.

Appreciate the opinion, not sure I buy that Harry Potter and Deadpool are a good comparison...

haven't read the books. is Harry not a schizophrenic murderer?

[romanheart]

Doesn't Deadpool have the personality of a squeegy kid you just want to beat with his own pail?

Didn't you read the description it says it looks like a 9.9, better buy iy now before somebody else gets this great deal.

And it's signed by Stan Lee, who had so much to do with this title and character creation . . .

[1Cool]

I don't think we have gotten to a "bubble" price yet. If the going price for a 9.8 is $750 then I still see some upward potential once the movie promos start coming out. IF its a good movie like GOG then I do not see a reason NM 98 should not be mentioned in the same sentence as ASM 300 which is over $1000.

But...............these kids grow up, get a job, and then chase the books that were significant to them. Same thing happened with GA, SA, and BA books. I can remember when we used to say the same thing about people buying HG Hulk #181s for top dollar in the early 2000s.......

 

That being said, this past weekend we had kids in their mid teens asking for NM #98s. I was sold out a couple of shows ago, but if I had them then raw 9.0-9.2 copies would have been selling for $250+ no problem as local stores are getting $300 for them already.

I think the bigger question is: "will today's youth collect vintage comics of their favorite characters?"

 

Given that none of them have or will read NM 98, I am not 100% sure they will want it at all. Honestly, the same thing can be said about Amazing Fantasy 15 or Hulk 1, et all.

 

I am not sold that the vintage comic collectible market won't completely collapse post retirement of Gen Y... I hope not.

[BarryAllen]

FYI - the NM 98 bubble is already popping. I heard it today on the way to work.

Why retirement of Gen Y? I'd say the death of Gen Xs will be the end of comic book collecting as we know it but that's not for another 30 years.

Gen Y or Millennials were born starting in 1982; at least the first five years of this generation was heavily influenced by comics in the early 90's and a number of them collect high value (mostly silver age or later) comics. They are also beginning to hit their "buying prime," hence large speculation on books like NM 98 that clearly fell squarely in their youth.

 

I am not saying you are wrong, just a POV.

I guess it doesn't really matter since the retirement of Gen Y will pretty much coincide with the death of a majority of the Gen Xers. 30 years is a long ways away.

Since when does collecting comics have anything to do with actually 'READING' them? I've never ready most of the keys in my collection, yet somehow, they made it in to my collection.

 

The kids these days are watching Deadpool on Ultimate Spiderman and Superhero Squad, playing as him on Ultimate Alliance and dressing up as him for Halloween. That, and a good movie in 2016 (asking alot from Fox), might be enough to drive demand for this book 25+ years from today.

I can't speak for all markets, but in the shows the past two-three years in Alberta there has been a definite upswing in two collector demographics - pre-teens/teenagers and female readers/collectors. The books they buy primarily - Harley and Deadpool, followed by WD, Batman and Spider-Man (in no particular order). I have more collectors between 10 - 25 years old digging through dollar bins for older back issues (I put low grade SA/BA and mid grade copper in them from collections I buy) than older collectors. It could be that we are the exception, not the rule, but I am even getting people at work talking about comics due to new auction highs and the Big Bang Theory. 5 years ago comic shows were primarily Gen X and older buyers. Now it is more the Gen Y crowd.

 

This past weekend I sold two cheaper copies of X-Force #2 (FN for $5 and VF- for $15) - one went to a kid that was likely only 10 or 11 as he did not have enough saved up yet for the NM #98 he wants........
