A book with plentiful supply, and yet check out the prices realized - even for the 9.6.

yikes!

Well that always was a weirdly hot book. Often very sporadic!

I watched another 9.8 end at $260 last week. Another one has been put up this weekend. We'll see if the end price remains consistent.

This is the price quoted in Wizard...

Must be cold in hell today.

Buy now. 9.6s will fetch $1,000 and 9.8s will bring $2,000 in, oh, 19 1/2 years from now. Right around the time Hulk #181 9.4s are selling for $20,000.

$20,000.00

Hulk 181

19 1/2 years

 

[ninanina]

I agree.

But I'm not sure about the moderns. Seems far fetched.

Seriously, though, I'm not sure why the price keeps creeping on this book.... there are a lot of them out there.

Hmmm... first appearance of the first homosexual Marvel super-hero?

 

• 
  
• He's French (Cajun, anyway)... so that makes him at least vaguely fruity (sorry Osborne)
  
• He's got a girlfriend that he can't touch. Come on, who needs that?!?!
  
• His mutant power charges things and makes them PINK for crying out loud!

yeah i guess everyone expects him to be in the next X-Men movie and every now and then the prices go a little wild

I thought the guy from Alpha Flight was the first one out of the closet?

Nah, he came out a couple years after X-Men 266.

DING!! we have a winner. I think you can safely put the price spikes on this book down to movie hype/rumours.

Good call Lee... from July '02 until March '03 no copies broke $200... selling between $146 to $192. Prior, several sold in the same range with the exception of 3 copies which went... $239, $285, $305.

 

From March to present ALL copies (about 10) have sold over $200...

(low $202... High $290)

 

Seems like X3 Speculation to me. I've waited, trying to get one around $150... looks like I should have pulled the trigger much earlier. Now, I'll just have to wait

Talk to forumite BigMan about this issue - i beleive he has access to longboxes of this hoarded 1st app issue

 

Or is the X-Men annual Gambit's true 1st app? Some sellers on Ebay seem to think so??

PM me, Bruce..... I have 3 9.8s, which is 2 more than I need.
