jjonahjameson1 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I don't really have a question about what makes an 'A' level Preacher page. I suppose that would depend on favourite characters, key moments in the storyline, 1st appearances, etc. However, is there any truth to my hearing that pages from earlier issues are more desirable and command higher prices in general? If so, what is the reason for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irchooker Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 However, is there any truth to my hearing that pages from earlier issues are more desirable and command higher prices in general? If so, what is the reason for it? I would say: 1) the grittier art, more detailed art 2) those early moments and character introductions were memorable; especially so in a hobby driven by nostalgia 3) the story was still good. Preacher began it's downward spiral after issue 24. I never finished reading the series because it became uninteresting and meandering. Sure, there were some moments, Starr's devolution into a 6 foot was occasionally cute; Mr. Work-the-Meat-nazi was really odd; Some people thought the zoophilia character was quirky. So, yeah, the standard reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Sid Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 My votes: • First TPB I think is the worst. They hadn't quite figured it out yet. (Pacing, rhythm, characters, humor). • 2nd TPB is the best. Epic, powerful, tense, funny, shocking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_not_so_nice Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I thought that PREACHER 24 Page 07 was going to end up in an eBay re-listing cycle at $999. Guess I was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Very good images on that page. Interesting that it sold w/o being able to read the word balloons in the murky scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesusjon Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I feel like I missed that page, despite having ebay and CAF searches set. Meanwhile some pages show up every day on my CAF search! What gives!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I was wrong I'm not sure I understand what's going on with the price of this piece. Its an attractive page with Jesse and Herr Starr, from a relatively early issue and has good content. Given all the discussion on this thread, you'd have thought this would go for $2.5K, instead of just $1K. Anyone else feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Seemed about right to me. There's a great page on Heritage that I think is closer to an "A" page than that one was. I'll be interested to see how this auction ends: PREACHER on HERITAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know if it was a bargain or priced right, but I am merely stating that given all of the discussion in this thread, this page checked a lot of boxes people said they were looking for in a Preacher page so I thought it would have went for more.

I thought it was on par with this page: http://m.ebay.com/itm/251563667213?nav=WATCHING_ENDED I didn't think it warranted an extra $300, and figured we'd see it relisted a few times at lower prices before it sold.

I thought it a fair deal for buyer and seller alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
