Yeah, that’s a lot lower than recent sales.  HOWEVER, that is a pretty bad press job. It’s especially evident on the back cover scan.  Take a look at the larger image and see what I’m talking about.

it’s a poor man’s 9.8

Has micro-trimming returned in full force???

And I agree you could slide that copy through the refrigerator door.

What?!?....you mean there are books that have come down to earth from crazy wacko padded room crackhead level pandemic pricing??? I'm so stunned by this development I offer the community my shocked face...

Fun fact: in 2021 there were two sales of ASM 129 blue label 9.8 for well under 25k

Would someone really drop $25K on this book without looking at the back cover?

My God, it is HORRIBLE.

ASM#129 will increase in price again. The Punisher is a popular character, and there are only a finite number of copies that are truly 9.8.

I was trying to talk someone out of spending $3300 for an 8.5. Showed him they are about $2700 right now. But he was hell bent on getting it and wanted time payments, so he was willing to pay 20% extra.

Shame. He would have been better off saving for a 9.8. They always pay off in the long run.

How times change. I remember seeing a 9.8 going for 5K in something like 2013.
