I don't think anyone had determined that CGC 9.8 is something like 38-to-1 for direct-to-newsstand when you were thinking about that sale. Paying two or three times the direct edition price (whatever the $4,500 sale represents) may end up looking like a bargain. october, Keys_Collector, Hollywood1892 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, it's likely that someone recognized CGC 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man #300 is a $2K book, and we know few CGC 9.8s are signed by both Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane, and no more can be signed by both, so if you have the money, paying almost 4 times the "normal rate" for a CGC 9.8 for a book that is more than 4 times harder to get is not as crazy as the price looks without doing the math.

Good point! The number of CGC 9.8 ASM #300s signed by Stan can't increase, so whatever the number is... the relative scarcity vs. unsigned CGC 9.8 ASM #300 will only increase in the coming decades. celluloidbuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I guess when you see a book like Ultimate Fallout 4 realizing the prices that it is, it makes sense that ASM 300 should go up also. It looks like a pretty good deal compared to UF4 to me. Different books, different era, different print run, I know, but a rising tide like that has to raise some other boats.

I put an offer in on it, and then someone bought it at full price. Feels bad. Don't feel bad, it was a weak 9.8 with soft corners in my opinion.

jjonahjameson11 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 This book is definitely moving up, even in 9.4 (now a $550 book) and lower grades. Some recent sales on ebay: 9.8 -Jul 19 stan lee sig series = $3,250. This would appear to be a pretty good deal given to recent run-up on this book -Jul 17 = $2,900. best offer accepted -Jul 15 McFarlane sig series = $3,999.99. best offer accepted -Jul 12 = $2,750 9.6 -Jul 18 = $790 -Jul 18 McFarlane sig series = $1,190 -Jul 15 = $735 -Jul 6 = $800 -Jul 4 = $950 (newsstand) Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the minority of ASM 300 collectors are willing to pay a premium, but perhaps 2x or 3x the direct copy value, but that's all.

I personally wouldn't pay a penny more for a newsstand ASM 300, but I'm a realist and won't dispute the fact that some folks are willing to do so.
