I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
I've always felt that first appearances in comics are overvalued if the character(s) came from a movie/script first.

It took off a few weeks ago. Maybe a month... I don't remember, but it was in the recent past.

Why would anyone have Stan lee sign an issue of Star Wars? That”d be like Len Wein signing an issue of Archie.

I think the success of the Mandalorian began the resurgence in that book. But that is an asking price...if it sells for that price then there's really something to report.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
When I saw #1 selling for 3 & 5k, i thought, continue to hold in my pc or sell, now, if this goes for 25k, it will be difficult for me to continue to hold.

I mean, if you look beyond just the writers and artists he played a significant role in the comic getting made at all and in negotiating a beneficial deal for Marvel on the book which basically saved them from bankruptcy. I'm not saying he's the first person to come to mind but he was not uninvolved with this book, which is more than can be said of a lot of other stuff he's signed.

You've got a real nice book there that will be valued at quite the amount.

Just a couple points if I may to steer towards, perhaps, a more appropriate value (which I have not researched as of this writing)

Firstly the seller is "asking" $25K. I could be wrong, but I don't think even with signatures a 9.8 is at 25K.
Secondly, it's a 9.8. 9.8 attracts aaaaallllllll kinds of eyes that don't look at 9.6's. Is it silly in my opinion? It sure is. It's the old bad day/good day grading joke we all have seen. But nonetheless, 9.8 Syndrome (a condition when you temporarily lose your mind and wallet) is alive and well.

I’ve noticed a lot of unusually high asking prices.

I think it’s just because stupid money is being thrown around that people hope even stupider money is out there to get.

Values are going up, but there’s definitely a frenzy happening now.

Too bad it’s just an asking price or I’d send a picture to my father to show him that maybe I wasn’t “wasting my money on comics” after all.

Because you are a Bourgeois Elitist my friend! But apparently you are just one of many Bourgeois Elitists in the comic book field. I’m a 9.6 Proletariat Peasant and I’m feeling more and more in the minority each year. I sell 9.8 and keep 9.6’s (that has proven to be a bad idea!) but I have a collection of maybe 50 9.6, Mostly CBCS. Maybe one day I crack em all and send to CGC?

@Jabberwookie Bad idea, I did something like that recently with my Turtles books and now they just ask me every day if I’ve sold it yet,lol.

Not that it's totally insane, but is there any reason that Star Wars #50 should be selling for $70 in slabbed 9.4? Does anything special happen in that book?

That’s awesome! Ford is the last person, along with James Earl Jones, I really need on one of my books
