I guess it's to do with the fact that these are American comics and people want US prices on them much as if i had a Miracle Man, Warrior or Judge Dread comic then i would want a UK price on it.

 

That is EXACTLY it.

 

Just look at Canadian baseball cards, they are much rarer than their US counterpart, but sell for a fraction of the amount. Baseball is America, like apple pie.

 

But take good old Canadian hockey, where NA buyers much prefer the Canuck issues, and frown on the US cards. Same deal.

 

Rarity/scarcity doesn't even enter into it.

Well i don't have the US price variant mentality looking for those 30/35 cent copies but i know if i was i would be all over these UK PV's as they make up 2% of the total print run. I don't get that.

More then anything though i beleive a lot of it is to do with IGNORANCE. Collector's think these to be reprints when in fact they were printed in the same place, at the same time, with the same ink and paper with the only difference being the printing plate for the price being changed. CGC calling them "UK Editions" doesn't help.

 

Books with pence prices have nothing to do with 30/35 cent variants, unless you can find 2 copies of the same book priced at 10p & 12p. I don't think its ignorance either. Most people know the deal with these and they still sell for a significant % less than US priced books. I know collectors living in UK who prefer US priced comics poke2.gif

Still the person who started this thread didn't know the deal.

 

You done sorting your comics Jeff? We good to go?

 

Almost. Another 9 boxes to go of pricing and then putting about 25 more in alpha order. Hope to knock out this weekend and then we can go through your list 1 final time.

What does the price of a slabbed 9.4 US copy have to do with the sale price of a raw VF pence one? foreheadslap.gif

 

Are you getting a commission of the sale?

I would post a scan of the book but I can't ( I been using my friends scanner and I don't like to bother him ) It has some minor spine cracks but other then that its pretty nice, full color, white pages, looks like someone stuck it in a bag and board right after they bought it....Oh and thanx fox for the correction( I'm sorry if I put published instead of distributed....we all make mistakes 8) )

All three of my GR issues are going to have to go on ebay soon.

 

when's the movie slated for showing?

 

I've got to get at least one graded prior and on the street.

Find the last sale of a VF raw US copy, and knock about 40% off that price.

 

That's the current 'market value' of pence copies.

 

Personally, I think they should be on par with their US counterparts, but the market doesn't seem to feel that way.

 

I like the pence copies, and in some cases have paid a premium for them over US copies in same grade. confused-smiley-013.gif

eh. just wait until the movie tanks, they'll be all over the place

 

This movie is going to suck hard, and its $150+ million prod+marketing budget (which could grow due to the horrible response to the preview CGI) is going to dwarf any $$$ from the absolutely-insane fanboys who gobble up any comic book turd the studios pinch out.

 

And the studios already know it's gonna tank, hence the February (Hollywood graveyard) release date. 27_laughing.gif
