Bart Allen Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Why are these comics so difficult to obtain? I mean I've seen a few on Heritage, but why not eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 My copy, which I was fortunate enough to pick up from a most esteemed boardie a few years back. I toy with hunting down the rest of the run, but fear I have procrastinated too long. The white dot at the top is a bit of a mystery, paint?, bleach? who knows, but it doesn't go through the cover..

Sqeggs Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Why are these comics so difficult to obtain? I mean I've seen a few on Heritage, but why not eBay? Great question. Not so long ago, they seemed to be readily available. I guess they always were pretty scarce and it only took a few more people looking for them to cause them to disappear from most dealers' stocks and from eBay.

Illustrious Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I thought this copy of #1 ended at a somewhat strong price last night on eBay, considering the page quality and how it presents. I had it capped at $600 max: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311490356159?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget his name, but I've been happy with purchases from him, so I'm not all that surprised. A year or so ago that was probably a $400 book, but the PS run seems to be in big demand these days. I suspect any less than $400 a point is going to be hard to do before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illustrious Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Imagine what would happen if the Stranger was included in the upcoming Justice League Dark movie. I'm guessing it would be like when Batman #59 went supernova after the Suicide Squad movie cast was shown to include Deadshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Great acquisition !!! Phantom Strangers so seldom become available, probably take five years hard searching minimum to get all six issues FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrocHntr Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks guys. Jimbo just had a nice Phantom Stranger 6 in his sales thread this morning, and it was picked up rather quickly. Seems there's still a lot of interest in this title (given that its extremely hard to find in even mid grades). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Infantino turned in a fine job on the series..... the covers are all decent too. I still kick myself for not getting the CGC 8.0 Bethlehem copy of # 3 from Metro..... they had it for a while @ $ 800...... GOD BLESS..... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJR Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I was debating whether to buy some of the beat up copies that Superworld had but their prices were IMO very aggressive for being lower grade copies. Finding these books in nice shape is mission impossible! If you are lucky to come across a copy of any Phantom Stranger pull the trigger right away!
