YouFoundDonon Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 My 2.5 was on EBay and was at 3,000 or BO. Someone bought it out right without sending an offer and paid immediately. I just bought a 3.5 on CC for $2,100 last week too.... not complaints here... dikran, waaaghboss and bc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had my eye on that 3.5 but ComicConnect is not very user friendly for non-US bidders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Well, I have been keeping watch on recent Black Knight sales on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=black+knight&_sacat=63&LH_TitleDesc=0&_fsrp=1&_osacat=63&_sop=16&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 It has been a while, but I bought Black Knight #1 and #2 from @jimjum12, and I believe I paid around $1500 for those books. BK #1 came back from CGC at 4.5, while BK #2 came back at 5.5. I then bought Black Knight #4 from @Ricksneatstuff for $425-ish. I then bought Black Knight #3 and #5 (which are currently at CGC), also from @Ricksneatstuff, for $650-ish. jimjum and rick, I'm not trying to rub your nose regarding my purchases; I'm just proving information for everyone. Up toward the top of the list is Black Knight CGC 2.5, which sold for $3000. I have to say, I am honestly the thought is crossing my mind about selling the whole lot right before the movie hits. The pro of this decision is I could parlay this sale, along with selling my X-Men #1 CGC 3.0, into an X-Men #1 CGC 5.0 - 5.5. The drawbacks are two-fold. In all likelihood, I doubt if I could ever put this run back together. And secondly, if the Black Knight doesn't play that big a role in the Eternals movie, these prices would sink like a stone. Granted, that may make it easier to purchase these issues again, but nowhere near at the prices I originally paid. These books are now on the radar for many people. What to do, what to do....

Callaway29 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I had the whole run up for sale on these very boards just a few months ago and it was crickets (all low grade). Market is feeling frothy as of late... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikran Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Keep in mind, Black Knight 1 is also the first appearance of Morgana LeFey. If ever she hits as a major crossover movie vilain this book could have long term legs. It’s definitely a hold book for me. I really don’t see the importance of this iteration of the Black Knight vis a vis the Eternals since that movie will feature Dane Whitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouFoundDonon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Someone just had a 6.5 listed on the boards for 8k but accepted an offer via PM.. had to think it was at most a 1k haircut. Book is on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted October 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2020 Just upgraded my #3 yesterday: As hot as the Black Knight is, copies are still hard to come by. My run now looks like this: #1 - 6.5 #2 - missing #3 - 6.0 #4 - 4.0 #5 - 7.0 Hopefully I'll soon be able to find a #2, upgrade my #4, and call it a day. Will eventually get around to listing or consigning my 4.0 undercopy of #3. dikran, Jasonmorris1000000, Legion of Goom and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) There doesn't seem to be much buzz around the Eternals movie ... it's getting very mixed reviews. Plus it's unclear how much of a role the Black Knight even plays in it (the character has been conspicuously absent from all the trailers, etc.). I'm glad I bought up the Black Knight run before the prices went crazy. It will be interesting to see if these books (especially #2 through #5) come way down from where they've been this past year. That said, I am truly happy I own these books. Here are my copies just to help bring some new life to the thread. Would still like to bump up my #4, but only if the price is right.

dikran Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I gambled and bought a 3.0 a couple months back for a new GPA high, luckily the next sale topped it by 1000$. But yeah the Eternals zero-hype machine is very worrying short term. But long term, this book is gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Lou 14 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I bought my 6.5 of #1 for $1,900 in August 2019, by which time I think the rumors were already swirling. Since then I have routinely seen sellers asking for twice as much for copies half as nice. Not sure if anyone is buying at those prices, but I would be real careful.

dikran Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well I have no intention of selling in the next 20 some years. So basically I saw the book, it was within budget and I bought it. Couldn’t be happier. If I could have bought it for less 3 months from now, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if my post sounded it like it was directed at you or questioning your decision. Not my intent at all! I'm really just saying that anyone who wants in on the Black Knight but doesn't already own a copy should be patient. Timing is key, and I've learned a few lessons about this the hard way. I decided to upgrade my Special Marvel Edition #15 while the Shang-Chi movie hype was going strong, and I now see I could have achieved my goal much more cheaply had I waited 30-60 days. Like you, I'm a collector who wants to hold onto these books for many years, so I have no regrets about my SME #15 and you shouldn't either about your Black Knight #1. Especially with a scarce book like Black Knight #1, you (and I) have made a solid investment. dikran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
