I personally would absolutely not take $300 given that it sold 7 years ago in that grade for $200.

But if you’re looking to sell & you’re comfortable at that price, totally your call.

Yea, it seems like at the very least it should be selling for $400, but I think I've had this for sale for almost 2 years, with a high offer of $350, which I rejected at the time. I have a lot of grading fees and new books to pay for and my sales have slowed to a crawl the past two months so it's tempting.

@flanders I'm guessing that before it was slabbed you probably would have been happy to get $75 for it? I'm often of the mind to take the quick sale over pursuing top dollar because it frees me up to continue my buying habits guilt-free.

@EbayMafia I actually bought it at MCS. It wasn't titled as a 9.9 and I got it for the cost of a 9.8




Either way, I see 9.9's as free money and I don't have a need to have them in my personal collection. I'd rather take the $ and get a 9.8 for far less if I really like the book.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
@flanders - I would hold for higher price. With your CBCS 9,9 and 3 cgc 9.9, it is indeed a rarity and the fmv on gocollect for a 9.8 is at 165. You could probably get over well over 500 for it with a little patience. Good pick up.

why is that issue worth so much. yes yours is a 9.9 but i dont remember it having any importance. wasnt first appearance of anyone. it didnt have an earth shattering moment. it did take place during Infinity war but thats about it.'

Have the issue myself and should look over condition

In this case, it’s only really worth something due to the 9.9 grade. Plus, the McFarlane run has been gaining attention again due to nostalgia.

that makes sense as look at how much its sold. a 9.8 has sold for less then $100 (heck $41....$13 I dont count as it was almost 10 years ago) or nearly $300

@power_struggle55 @00slim - I could be wrong but I believe this (Spidey 24) is the first appearance by Spider-man Doppelganger on cover and third appearance overall but also first FULL appearance in general.

@Scifinator I rejected the offer. Although I'm not looking forward paying the 28% federal capital gains tax when the time comes.

@flanders - Did you see my note above regarding "importance"? I believe the High price for (non Newsstand) 9.8 was 4/27/21 at $170. So, a 9.9 is certainly worth well more than the CMV and all time high. Especially considering that 9.9 makes up 1/40th of the total 9.9 & 9.8 CBCS & cgc population.

The apple sauce and pudding were the best part... Bronte private msg quote post Address this user
@flanders

I was talking to a buddy of mine that is a CPA in Florida and New York. Although she doesn't do taxes, she said that my household should create a business and that way lessen the tax burden. Her hubby is a comic person as well and they decided they were going to do that and said she would assist my household as well. Apparently it costs less than 100 bux to get a license in Florida. However, as many have stated, it's best to discuss with tax person before implementing.

@Scifinator yes, thanks for that. It's the main reason I decided to hold onto it.

@Bronte I'll talk to someone next year about it. I know I'll have to pay into social security and Medicare as well based on my expected income so it'll probably be a good idea to see what the best option is.

thats what I thought. i knew he appeared in a storyline prior. need to search through my bins to find it. i am almost done sorting them (logging what bin has what issues. except valuable ones. those are kept by themselves) if condition looks good to me maybe get it graded when the more valuable comics are .

@power_struggle55 - I think it goes:

Infinity War #1 (watching/following Spider-man)

Fantastic Four #366 (on computer screen)

and then

Spider-man 24 (Full storyline appearance & First Cover appearance)

thats why they say "1st appearance in cameo"...but surprise they dont say "first full appearance". i have carnage's "first appearance in cameo", and the one that goes for big bucks is labled "first full appearance" (heck his third appearance is labled as such)...so why not this. it just says "appearance"

@Scifinator Not sure. It’s not particularly “key”. But it is a 9.8 & as you said, highest on the census.

@Bronte I love Florida. It's like leaving the United States without actually leaving. So many quirky things there. One thing that fascinated me was that half the population eats their dinner by 5 PM and the other half doesn't start eating until about 9-10 PM. I remember a comedian said that when you retire to Florida you have dinner at 4, lunch at 11 and breakfast the night before.

I don't travel at all so I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but I would gamble you'd feel differently if you lived here full time. The sheer amount of old people with their entitled attitude is staggering.

what do we think about Howard the Duck (1977) #1 and #12 (1st Kiss!! - cameo only though)
Sell or Hold?

I have 2 of each #1 one at 8 one at 8.5....#12 once at 8.5 one at 9 (all ungraded and assuming a press - will likely sell raw at MCS??)


I'm inclined to keep one sell one #1 when/if Howard sees Disney action and sell #12 either both now or keep one and sell one when Gene passes ( I know it's crass but that is reality)

I’d suggest holding both for if/when they spike. Chances are, Howard will get some sort of solo project or at least a bigger role, eventually.

But I’d be interested in a #1 if you really wanna let it go.
