*Bronze age fan* Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Has anyone thought the price of slabbed Pre Heros has been on a downslope? Been seeing some issues on ebay that I thought were priced kinda cheap. Maybe everyone who was collecting these slowed down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been seeing some issues on ebay that I thought were priced kinda cheap. Maybe everyone who was collecting these slowed down? The lower and mid-grades seem to be loosening a bit but I think its a supply heaviness. There has been a glut of those slabbed books hitting the market over the last year (on top of a "well represented" raw market). I'll run a census comparison report tonight to see how many books have hit the census the last 6, 12, 18 & 24 months compared to what I've noted in this thread in the past. The high grade books seem to be generally holding within a band: 8.0 $250-$500 8.5 $500-$1000 9.0 $1,000-$1,500+ 9.2 $1,500+ 9.4 Again, that's based on scarcity & issue (more for Groot & Fin Fang Foom, ST97, #1s, etc.). Never thought that the demand was that great for these books anyway and as more people fill runs & complete sets, the demand will decrease until new blood moves in. It's only 164 books with no consecutive heroes, villains or hosts - more about the artists, writers, style & timeframe (similar to PCH). A little different supply/demand relationship than trying to complete a run of Action, ASM or Tecs or any superhero title with multi-generational appeal that continually cultivates a new audience with multimedia.

Just my -bc After checking the census changes for the PHM titles for the last 12 months, the supply has not statistically deviated from the historic norms of approximately 85-100 new books added per month across all grades since 2014 (coincidence that it picked up from 60-75 books a month the before the GotG movie came out?). In the past 12 months additions, about 80% have been in the 3.5 to 6.5 range, 10% above and 10% below those grades. This only accounts for CGC graded books, of course, but I am noticing more and more of the other companies slabs on the market every month which would incrementally increase the supply side. Maybe the demand is waning while the supply is steady or slightly higher?

gunsmokin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 For the moment, I'm glad they are trending down. I've picked up 5 new ones this week alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 There was no trending down for this one I just recently picked up. Worth it though, I have searched for a high grade copy of this issue for many years. With the white pages, just had to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
