Christwarrior316 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hey guys and gals. I am looking at picking up Harbinger #1 9.8... I know I know it's PGX. The plan is to crack the case and send into GGC. Now the only issue with it, besides being PGX , is that is does not have the Coupon. My question is do you think it is still worth it for $500 without the coupon? I can probably get it for $400 if I keep harping on the coupon. Your thoughts are appreciated and thank you in advance! - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey Kids, Comics! Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Considering a CGC 9.8 with no coupon sold for $278 last month............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valiantman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 A legitimate CGC 9.8 Harbinger #1 with coupon would be about $800 right now. CGC 9.8 without coupon would be worth about $200. PGX 9.8 without coupon would be worth about $40 until (IF) it became a CGC 9.8 without coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) I'll even explain where my $40 estimate comes from: CGC 9.8 Harbinger #1 is uncommon. Less than 20% of CGC-slabbed copies of Harbinger #1 have been CGC 9.8. Now, if you had a legit CGC 9.8, why would you send it to PGX? Because it's probably not CGC 9.8. So, a PGX 9.8 Harbinger #1 is likely to be a CGC 9.6 or lower. A CGC 9.6 Harbinger #1 with coupon is worth about $300. Harbinger #1 without coupon is usually about 25% of the value of Harbinger #1 with coupon. 25% of CGC 9.6 Harbinger #1 with coupon (at $300) would be $75. So, a PGX 9.8 Harbinger #1 without coupon is probably around a CGC 9.6 Harbinger #1 without coupon worth $75. Except that it's a PGX and it would need to be graded by CGC, which would cost around $30 to $35 (including shipping), so you should only pay $40 for it... then it's $75 total.
