You're making the same error that most of us make at one time or another in regards to market analysis, trying to use our own feelings and that of our small circle of acquaintances to characterize an entire market. It doesn't matter that you never found Ghost Rider to be a compelling character, but somehow, enough other people cared to produce more than one incarnation of his own title. GR was one of the early recipients of the promo/variant covers and enjoyed crossovers with ALL of the A-listers. If you told me you worked in a comic store for a few years back in the day, I might be more inclined to listen, but I put enough copies of Ghost Rider in people's Hold Boxes to know better in the early 90's. Many of those folks are now in their 40's and they couldn't care less about the Mile High Copy of Comics on Parade or Single Series 20... rarity or not. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ... At over a quarter million bucks, at least two others also disagree with your assessment. Friendly reminder ... when assessing collectibles markets, always study the math first... your feelings will lead you astray every time. aardvark88, Point Five, Ricksneatstuff and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantodude Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Looking at this 9.6 all these days made me really appreciate this cover but also this villain. What will this uber result for Tec140 9.6 mean for mid-grade valuations, especially since so few of these books exchange hands? And this question probably goes for all the low-census issues with uber results the last couple of days. Edited June 18, 2021 by Pantodude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stink up the joint. ... sounds like time for you and I to head out to the Pub. Seriously, all of us have MAD tracking in this auction. I haven't crunched the numbers, but I would be very surprised if the median lot won't be more than10K. This is not my kind of Auction except for the speculation element. It's amazing how much money is actually out here. I remember when I used to know many of the Bidders .... I doubt that is the case today ... this is only my gut, but I'd wager that there's "new" money in the hobby.

I enjoyed him in The Champions - that was my first intro to him, actually. I will agree that in the 90's he grew to have monster appeal but that was likely just as much a phenomenon of 90's counter culture as it was of the character himself. Wolverine, GR, Punisher all saw a strong resurgence then. jimjum12, buttock and Tsp99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
