atomised Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) First of all, I like Brave and the Bold 28 and I like the Justice League. But give me a break, all this book does is continue to go down in price. Has there been any SA key that has been punished as severely as this book? Are we still getting punished for the film that came out in 2017? Almost every time I see this book offered at auction, it comes in lower than recent gpa. This month a 4.5 copy sold for $2650. A 4.5 would have cost you more than that in 2014. I mean this book is just a total bloodbath in almost every grade and in every sale. I like this book and I hope it recovers.

jimjum12 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Personally, I feel nice 5.0 to 6.0 range copies with good eye appeal might present an opportunity right now. It was a cornerstone book of the SA and still should be. …. and that cover ? … c'mon, it was on a postage stamp and is cool as all get out.

Keys_Collector Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Another book that IMO is adjusting to the market and may have become over priced like many others. No key first appearances of individual characters similar to Avengers 1 doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Seems it indeed never recovered from the Justice League movie. It started to tank after the movie bombed and has steadily gone down since. Is truthfully too bad because I think it’s an awesome SA key. jimjum12 and RetiredOldMan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said there are any characters that have a first appearance in either book. My point is that both books are the first appearance of a team but carry no key 1st appearances of those characters which is why prices settled after the movie hype increased prices on both books.

bpc3qh Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm in the same camp. I think the book is incredibly underrated, along with most of the JLA books. RetiredOldMan, jimjum12, silverseeker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best time to buy is when there's a big sale on an item, and especially when everybody's selling so that you can take your time and have your pick of the litter.

Popular Post seanfingh Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 Isn't another way to look at this just simply that the movie hype money is gone for this book. Most keys are inflated by speculator dollars and when the speculator money goes away it drops to where it finds an equilibrium with collectors. It's not so much that it is cold or unloved or not a key or "being punished," it's just that the spec money is completely gone and never coming back - until there is a complete reboot (hopefully with J'onn J'onzz) NP_Gresham, october, Beige and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I think Batman and Supes not being on the cover hurts., as does the bad guy. A Giant Starfish? Oh my. Get me my brown pants. jason4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bummed out face was because I have a CGC 1.8 copy with nice eye appeal and PQ, and haven’t really seen a bump like X-Men 1 or FF 1.

kimik Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I am glad I was able to trade my B&B #28 CGC 6.0 for a number of Marvel SA and BA keys to a dealer two and a bit years ago. At these prices I am almost tempted to buy again, but if you are chasing DC now, then go for the Batman SA keys instead. RetiredOldMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
