I believe it was in December. additionally, there would be very few, if any, Copper Age books purchased for 9.2K last year that would still be worth $9K or more today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F For Fake Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I haven't owned one of these in a long time. Prices coming down make me think I'd pay $500 for a 9.4. Think we'll get there? Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is in 6 months if same book put up for sale again will be lucky to legitimately get 6.5K. On 11/29/2022 at 11:55 AM, F For Fake said: I haven't owned one of these in a long time.

Still this huge high census population book has defied logic in past. My recommendation is set a number you are willing to pay and it it sinks to that amount then buy. Timing the absolute bottom price IMHO is merely luck and seldom occurs for most. Edited November 29, 2022 by MAR1979 F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a book I have to have in my collection, but I've owned a few raws over the years, and feels like I should have a slab just for the heck of it. I'm not a big McFarlane guy, or a Venom guy, but this books is absolutely a big middle school nostalgia button for me. Can't see myself paying more than $500 for a nice copy, given how many are floating around out there, and a 9.4 is "good enough". Of course, that being said, I could also probably land a nice raw for that price at some point. Luckily I'm in no hurry!

Me trading a hulk 181 3.0 blue plus $325 difference in value, back in 2018-19 for a ASM cgc 9.8 direct, when they were $2000 and hulk was $1500... Anyway it's all starting to coalesce and feel more like an even trade! Lol I guess I could have cashed out, but I really felt bad about it there for a while... Pfft $9000+?

Capn17 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Wish I had waited a little longer before pulling the trigger on a 8.0. At the end of the day, happy to have it in my collection. Don't plan on selling it anyhow. This might provide an opportunity to get a higher grade at a reasonable cost and sell the other if the prices go back up.

jjonahjameson11 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Don’t look now, but The $3.6K Nov sale may have been the trough. December sales trend show prices climbing strongly, with the most recent sale at $4.995K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect funny games to continue, while they no longer will work as well as during the bubble there is still to be made via manipulation machinations BTW: A CGC 9.8W deal at $3800 including shipping to Canada was apparently made on these boards yesterday. Victory was smart, no auction fees and the book will likley be testing $3200 threshold downwards in the next 1-3 months.

VintageComics Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I think the market has reached a new level of nutso when people are arguing over one single data point on the most commonly traded CGC book in certification history. I'm even getting PMs trying to verify if it's a real sale. People, I think you all need to get a grip and step back a bit. djzombi, october and fast eddie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
