Microchip Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 A 9.8 copy is coming up in the HA January auction.

Parabellum Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 $2800-3500 is my guess. F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, that $7500 sale was a bizarre outlier, which I believe lead to the subsequent $5k (or thereabouts) sales. Being winter, and the market slowing down in general, I'd say the real value of the book is right around $3k, give or take a couple hundred depending on venue, time of day, what the bidders had for lunch, etc. $3k seems reasonable for a "true value" on this book. As I mentioned before, there is a new theatrical Alien film coming next summer, as well as an FX series to follow, so Alien will suddenly be back in the spotlight in a major way. However, at this point I think the buy-in is too prohibitively high to see much speculation on the title, so I think the people buying them are the people who REALLY want them, and are willing to pay up.

Parabellum Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Interesting, didn’t think CGC would grade this. Guarantee this is tough in 9.8, but not $8500 tough. Microchip, F For Fake and ADAMANTIUM 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a new book, high grade copy, the prices don't go straight to the market high point. It takes several sales before the upper benchmark is determined. This guy is guessing at $8,500, hoping he finds a fish. But with no previous sales supporting any kind of price point, I can't see anyone diving in on this book. It definitely has strong collector appeal, lets see how things go. After reading the ASM# 252 thread. Be on the lookout for sales of the book, that are not completed.

Parabellum Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Definitely a collectors item for sure and has a place within a few Aliens registry sets. But you’re right $8500 is just a bit much. I don’t fault him for shooting for the stars though. F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, yeah, i just assumed they'd never grade it, so I never sent mine in. Unstapled, newsprint preview, seems like an odd thing for them to grade. I don't really trust their grading these days, so I guess mine will stay raw. Parabellum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, this price reflects a softening in prices I'm seeing across the board at HA at the moment. Unless it's a uber GA/SA key, don't expect a market shaking result.
