Jon McClure lists some nice price variants on the bay

Jon McClure apparently is still searching for variants or found a few treasures that he had tucked away.  He listed a nice group of variants that appear to be every bit the VF+/NM- that he graded the books.  The lot was snatched up as a Buy-It-Now for $395 or just about $60 per book.  Here is a screenshot of the listing.

 Jon also listed some very nice, very high-grade 35 cent variants on ebay.  The first to sell was this Thor 261 which was described as VF/NM and sold as a Buy-It-Now for $543. 

For those of you that don't know, Jon McClure was one of the early discoverers and researchers of the Marvel price variants.  Using the time machine (that only comes from a library of saved screen shots of key price variant books) to travel back in time to January of 2008 we can see from his last bulk sale of price variants how the collector pressure has increased for marvel price variants.  This sale was for $1704 and was for 21 different high grade CGC graded books or $81 per book.  The lot included a Godzilla 1 (CGC 9.0), Invaders 18 (CGC 9.4), Invaders 19 (CGC 9.2), Invaders 20 (CGC 9.0), Iron Fist 15 (CGC 9.2), and a Red Sonja 4 (CGC 9.0).  Five and half years later, it is safe to say that this lot would sell for at least five times if not ten times as much.
