What's shocking? The grade or the fact that reserve isn't met?

[DiceX]

If it were $5, it would be $10 more than it's worth.

That would be true if it were a comic being sold, but as in most cases of Ebay insanity, it's a label being sold.

Two reasons: #1) the reserve isn't met, and #2) someone is willing to pay more than $100 for it.

...not.

[the blob]

huh? why is this shocking?

 

there's a 9.9 up (granted, that's higher than a 9.8, but seriously...) of 98 (deadbool) that's probably over $500 by now and I'll bet a nickel a lot more 98s were printed than 87s.

 

 

sure, i would never pay that much, but shocking? not really. the book was what , $75 raw 12 years ago?

[bullseye]

isn't that from like the 90's? if so every dealer in america probably has hundreds, i know my lcs probably has 30 copies in high grade, probably charging guide for em though

"isn't that from like the 90's? if so every dealer in america probably has hundreds, i know my lcs probably has 30 copies in high grade, probably charging guide for em though :P"

 

actually, new mutants was below 100,000 print run around issue 87 (or so rob liefield says), which back then was almost cancellation levels.

 

sure, that's a healthy print run by today's standards, but that particular book pre-dated the real 90s speculation insanity by a little bit.

 

it's not a rare book, but it's also not one where every dealer has 7 long boxes of them in the back room (unlike, let's say, x-men 1 or x-factor 1 or turok 1)

 

it was a book they blew out rapidly circa 1991-1995 at $20-$50 a pop and probably didn't get stuck holding too many.

 

unlike a #1 issue, a new unknown artist on a book on the brink of cancellation would hot have been cause for dealers to order too many extras

[deathlok]

Unless you get a 9.9 or 10.0, there are plenty of HG copies out there. As with any current modern book. 9.8 are just not that uncommon.

Paying insane money for a current 9.8 book is just crazy.

Anyone have an extra copy in 9.0 or better? I know the issue and series suck, but I always wanted one when I was a kid. Not willing to pay a ton mind you.
