Snikt!1988 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) very nice very much on topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules 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. Normally I would say yes. But even ebay auctions have the book closing in the $1350-$1400 range. -J. 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 I think there's a great point to be made… Who is the market for this book?!? People in there 50's-60's that collect Golden age books? I grew up when Wolverine was just starting to gather some gas… I always wanted a Hulk 181… Fast forward today… Ive owned a few; now that I am adult I can make it happen… I collect Copper and Moderns; so what?!? those are the books I like; and grew up with… HQ is attracting a different market that will presumably grow in the future… as with Deadpool… there's probably hoards of young people that want the book now but probably when they mature into buyers will finally have a piece of that pie… not necessarily the market I am in but I am familiar and do recall the animated series… now if TMNT can hit an increase in the next 10 years… now what I remember was when I was 26… working at a restaurant… IH 181 was in the 1k range… I always eyeballed a 9.0 at 968 dollars or so…. it never happened… worked out for me later on when i bought a raw copy for 800 flipped it into the 9.0 I have today but thats a span of 10 years and my have the prices changed...

Snikt!1988 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) let's not forget… in some scenarios in todays world; women are becoming the bread winners… not a bad market for BA12 to be in as these young women begin to have careers(cosplayers included)… I think of certain books like Captain Britain 8; Detective Comics 359, Batman 181… and my fave NYX #3...

thatcomicbookguy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I picked up a 9.8 of these yesterday, made an offer and they accepted. Reminds me of the old Saturday morning cartoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingreed Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Nice. I'm staying in the Bronze Age for a while (probably the entire year). Hopefully when I'm done there, I will be able to pick up a BA #12. I have to get one, but I might as well play the "wait and see" game at this point.

Snikt!1988 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 anyhow… I'm committed… I was thinking about CB #8 as my next purchase… but Instead it'll be detective comics 359… I should have these already but I dropped a load of cash on a 9.8 run of Cerebus 1-25(well 5-25 in 9.8 at least)… mostly file copies… I don't know what got into me… that pretty much translates into a 9.6 Hulk 181… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If it is a legit sale then for boardies with 9.8s. If it is a false sale that still moves the prices up then for boardies with 9.8s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Fake sale. This book, NM 98 and ASM 300 have had several of these false ebay "BINs" show up recently to spike GPA. A buyer will need to be savvy to determine true FMV. Or just wait for an auction. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santos208 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I know the seller, I'm going to ask and see if he actually got paid. As far as I'm concerned he has 2 copies. Glad i got my 9.8 LONG ago. Did noticed 2 new listings though, one from MCS at 2485 and another listed at 2295 with best offer.....yet the one listed at 1875 still hasn't sold.

Vikingreed Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If this books stays at 2K, I will live my life without one. And if it does, grats to the 9.8 owners out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the boat on this one as well. Had the chance to buy a stated NM+ copy early last year for $350 but passed on it. I might get a low grade copy later down the road if prices ever fall.
