Vikingreed Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Wow. Why, oh why, did I not buy this two years ago?!?! It's always been on my list, but kept sliding down. Not sure if I will ever own one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A 9.8 just sold for under $1950 Link ? I'm not seeing that one. The last one I see is an eBay sale (natch) for $1735- which is still about $1,000 more than what the book is actually "worth" IMO. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be patient and you will come across one via a clueless LCS (I picked up a nice copy a couple of years ago for $4 at a LCS that pulled out a BA run) or in a collection.

Gabagool Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A 9.8 just sold for under $1950 Well thats good news for anybody who owns a 9.8 im also sure that means the lower grades are also rising in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Wow. Why, oh why, did I not buy this two years ago?!?! It's always been on my list, but kept sliding down. Not sure if I will ever own one now. Well, if BvS bombs, maybe SS gets canceled, and the bottom falls out? I have a raw of this I have had for a few years, but its probably a 9.4/9.6, definitely not a 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It was starting to rise before any movie hype though. HQ is just so popular, and that is with awful comics. It will be interesting if she ever gets a top level writer/artist team up, and an actually good story line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting if she ever gets a top level writer/artist team up, and an actually good story line. Yah, I know, I watched when it jumped the first time to the $850/$900 range. I was mostly joking, though obviously if that scenario occurred it would bring it down a lot. BA12 is like the DC version of NM98, which is the modern(ish) version of IH181. They are just one of those books that tons of people always want. Especially newer people entering the hobby, and going to their first con, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yep, I agree. ASM #300, NM #98, and BA #12. Demand is insatiable on these three, it seems. Maybe Wolverine #1 LS, to a certain extent, but the prices on that remain comparatively low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting if she ever gets a top level writer/artist team up, and an actually good story line. This book was still going in the $800 range prior to the requisite movie hype taking hold. Then one randomly high "erroneous" mycomicshop sale via ebay for $1,690 (now removed from GPA) really got the speculator bubble rolling. -J.

Just be patient and you will come across one via a clueless LCS (I picked up a nice copy a couple of years ago for $4 at a LCS that pulled out a BA run) or in a collection. This one came in a collection of 1990s long boxes. Like all finds I feel fortunate and disappointed all at once. There was a run of BA with random issues from 7 to 25. No 12. Combine that there were 4 copies of 11 and 6 copies of 13. Thinking it had to have been pulled but there were other holes along the way. Then I find this 12 randomly in other DC books from the era. Other Bat Adv as well but just the one 12. And fortunate that it stayed in top shape as it was bagged but not boarded. Didn't even open the pages as I transferred it to a new bag, board and mylar. Hoping for a 9.6 with a great shot at 9.8 when I get it back from CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 So someone slopped into 5-6 copies of it probably. Wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The Friday night Clink auctions are usually great for deals on Copper and Modern books. You can usually get them for 20-30% discount to GPA, or for even a larger discount. Needless to say I am bargain hunting tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who want this book have better things to do on a Friday night. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) If it had stayed lower I would have bid on it. Tonight I have snagged a couple of books for 20 - 25% GPA 90d average, and more from the last recorded sales. It is interesting to see some of the CBCS books go for less than the CGC books in the same grade. I thought that they were fetching a bit of a premium? I did pay full price for one because I wanted it, though - the stupid Captain America #14 (winter soldier cover) in 9.8. After that I snagged the other two to make the combined shipping more palatable. Edited March 28, 2015 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I picked up the one in this picture from a boardie for a great price recently as a gift for the girlfriend. As you can see, she's a HUGE bat-fan. It's not 9.6/9.8 territory, but there's only a few small color breaks on it & she doesn't care that much. (yes, that is a batman dresser. no, I didn't buy it. It's her old dresser re-finished) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
