Need advice on purchase...

[Polyphemus]

I have the opportunity to buy a Tomb of Dracula 1 9.6 and 10 9.2. Since Ebay doesn't go back farther than a couple of weeks, I'm wondering if anyone has some market reports on the values of these books. I'm assuming the TOD 10 9.2 is worth about $150.00 but I don't know about the #1.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

Try to get the ToD #10 for 125 dollars, that'd be an alright price. That 9.6 is probably around 700-800 dollars.

if u can snag both for around the $800-900 mark u would be doing well.

Advice eh? Take the $800 over to the golden age board and find yourself a nice DC, Timely or EC, CGC graded 9.0 or better. You'll be able to sleep at night. Just crazy to lay out the dollars for the bronze material this early on.

I'm aware of (2) Tomb #1 CGC 9.6 sales that took place privately in the last 10 months or so. A 9.6 White went close to 1K. and I believe an OWW went $850. I haven't seen any sell on ebay in a good long while. I bet Josh at Comiclink has sold one or two privately as well and may be able to offer you an accurate market value.

 

#10 seems to have continued upside if they keep making Blade movies (and they do well.) I might go $130-$150, a little more if it's a White pager. I think a 9.4 ended close to $400-$450 recently??

 

Making a group offer often affords a buyer a bit of leverage to get a break. Maybe offer $850 for the pair and cave at $900 if you can afford them, especially if the issues mean something to you as a fan. I don't think many 9.6 TOD's will become available anytime soon. Check the census on 9.6's.

 

Good luck

I guess one thing to ask is...what do you want the books for? Furture investment or just to have in your collection?

[Polyphemus]

purely investment. I don't have a strong affinity for the series although I do like it and think some of the covers are unbelievable.

[PovertyRow]

purely investment

 

Based purely on INMPULSE - not on examination on passed sales - I would say the go for the #1 and look for a #10 in better.

 

Unless another warehouse find of #1's and its kin was found?

....also depends on page quality of the books, if either has white pages then they will go for more than the prices mentioned..............

 

.....also will be better long term bets...................
