Warlock sales break record, highest graded.

The three Warlock 30 cent price variants are some of the rarer price variants.  Two very nice price copies of Warlock 13 have sold in the past couple of months.  The first is this single highest-graded CGC 9.8 blazer which brought $795 as a Buy It Now on ebay.  It is one of only two 9.8s on the census.

A 9.6 of the same issue sold for $200.  There are eight 9.6s on the census.  You will note that this is an October sale and the above 9.8 is a December sale.  These are definately two different books, not the same book just resubmitted to CGC.

One of the six highest graded Warlocks of Issue 12 was also sold on ebay for $200.  9.6 is the highest grade for this issue.  There are no 9.8s.

A couple of lower grade 35 cent price variant books to illustrate a point.

There is a tremendous amount of collector interest in the Marvel Price Variant issues.  Collectors looking to complete specific titles and collectors trying to complete the entire series create a healthy competition for any fresh material that hits the market.  In addition to the Rawhide Kid 141 in CGC 4.5 that I mentioned in an earlier post, there were two other sales of nice CGC certified 4.5 books that illustrate the true rarity of these books and offer a perspective on the pricing for the books.

On ComicLink, a CGC 4.5 copy of Amazing Spider-Man 173 sold for $205.  This is the seventh highest graded copy out of eight graded copies.  The key term is that there are only eight graded copies and there are certainly more than eight Spider-Man collectors looking for these books.  Comparisons to sales of the regular issue are really difficult, because with 17 copies graded in 9.8, there just aren't that many collectors looking for a CGC 4.5 regular edition.  Honestly, a 4.5 copy of the regular edition is not worth slabbing.  The closest comparison I could find is a CGC 8.0 regular edition that sold in December 2012 for $10 (or 1/2 of the CGC encapsulation fees).  A CGC 4.5 Spider-Man price variant is worth twenty times a CGC 8.0 of the regular issue.

GPA reports the sale in May of 2013 of an Iron Fist 15 graded in CGC 4.5 for $180.  The statistics are similar to the Spidey 173.  There are 21 total books graded of the price variant issue while there are 21 9.8s graded of the regular issue.  The closest comparison is again a CGC 8.0 regular edition that sold for $19 in September of 2012.  A CGC 4.5 Iron Fist price variant is worth ten times a CGC 8.0 of the regular issue.

It bears repeating.  35 Cent Price Variants regularly trade at ten to twenty times the price of the regular issues.  For the rarest of the rare books like the HB's, horror, war and western price variants the multiple is 100 times, i.e. Scooby Doo 1 in CGC 8.5 at $3500 versus $35 for the regular issue.  Or try Star Wars 1 in CGC 9.6 for $26,000 versus $190 for the regular issue.

Super-Villain Team-Up 13 Joins the Four Figure Price Variant Book Club

An absolutely sensational copy of Super-Villain Team-Up in CGC 9.8 sold on ebay for $1000 which puts S-V T-U 13 in the Four Figure Price Variant Book Club.  It should be noted that CGC 9.8 price variants are exceedingly rare.  There are 184 different (185, if you count the Captain America 212 blank bar) issues in the set.  Just 10 BOOKS total out of the 184 ISSUES have achieved the CGC Mint grade of 9.8.

What are the implications?  If Super-Villain Team-Up is worth four figures in 9.8, then just about any other 35 cent price variant is worth at least $1000.  This makes sense as I don't know of any copies of a 9.8 35 cent price variant that have sold for less than $1000 except for an Avengers book which sold for over $900 many years ago.  The other thing that is interesting is that with the exception of the Avengers books, the other 9.8s are all second or third tier titles.  I think that because of their rarity, CGC is really tough on price variants, particularly the big titles.  It would be a big-time event if a 9.8 Spider-Man or X-Men book showed up.  Two 9.6 Spider-Man books and one 9.6 X-Men book are the top of the census.

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.

Conan 65 in CGC 9.8 (highest graded) sets record

A very nice CGC 9.8 example of Conan 65 recently sold on ComicLink for an issue-record $825.  The last high-grade example of this issue was a CGC 9.6 that sold in May 2012 for $185.  As a comparison, a very nice pedigree example of the regular issue Suchsa News 9.8 sold for $216.

Amazing Spider-Man 156

A strong CGC 9.4 copy of the 30 cent price variant of Amazing Spider-Man 146 brought $450 in a recent ebay sale.  As a comparison, the last sale of a 9.4 copy of the regular edition brought $23 or about one twentieth of its price variant brother.  This is a record price for this book in this grade, but this shouldn't be surprising, as there is only one other sale of this book in this grade, back in 2004 for $173.  It is one of only three in 9.4 with only three examples graded higher in 9.6.  It may be another eight years before you see another up for sale.

X-Men 100

I have always felt that issue 100 is the toughest of the three X-Men 30 cent price variants.  Because it has a white cover and issues 98 and 99 have black covers, I think that X-Men 100 is generally found in higher grade than the other two issues.  Anyway, this is a very nice copy of the book for $455 and they don't come around very often so it is not surprising that this is a record price for this book in this grade.  The last time that this issue in this grade sold was five years ago in 2007 - so these are pretty rare.

Amazing Spider-Man 155

The price level for CGC 9.6 examples of Amazing Spider-Man 155 seems to be comfortably at $400+ with the recent sale of two books.  There are only two examples graded higher at 9.8 and only five copies graded 9.6.  Nice copies of the regular edition normally bring about $75, so this is a relative bargain as a price variant.

Doctor Strange 16

The single highest graded example the 30 cent price variant Doctor Strange 16 sold for $650 in an ebay auction.  White pages and a full starburst and a CGC grade of 9.8 make this the best Doctor Strange price variant that I have ever seen.  I am also certain that there is not a nicer one out there as this is absolutely as nice as they come.

A very nice "raw" Captain America 214 on the "bay"

A very nice example of the 35 cent variant edition of Captain America 214 brought $585 in a spirited ebay auction.  It is always difficult to tell from the scan but the book appears to be the nicest that I have seen particularly since the highest certified by CGC is 8.5.  This book is almost certainly nicer.

GPA's Analysis of Certified Sales of Variants for September 2012

Here is a screenshot of GPA's analysis of sales of certified price variants books.  I highly recommend their service for any serious collector of high grade books.  You will notice the $2225 sale for a CGC 9.6 X-Men 98 30 cent price variant.  What an incredible book! 

I also regularly get people asking me about Star Wars 1 price variants.  As you can see, nice mid-grade copies trade for $2000 so it is unreasonable to expect that you are going to land one of the NM- or better copies cheaply.  In fact, there is enough demand that these books are on the rise again. 

Ringo Kid 28 in CGC 9.4 sells for $575

A beautiful copy of Ringo Kid 28 in CGC 9.4 sold for $575 on ebay as a Buy-it-Now.  In the interest of full disclosure, I should also add that I was the seller and I actually lost money on the book.  Here is the story.  Several years ago, when I and a couple of other collectors were try to finish the 30 cent variant set, Ringo Kid 28 was right up there with Kid Colt 208 and Weird Wonder Tales in terms of absolute rarity.  It was (and still is) a key to completing the set.  Ebay seller zillaf4 listed the book and it looked absolutely fantastic.  As you might expect the bidding was a trainwreck and I ended up winning the book for $675 and was ecstatic anyway.  And then zillaf4 listed two more of them the next week.  And the next book ended at $400 and I got the third book at $300 and change.   Three books in a couple of weeks made the book almost seem common, and all three books were nice. 

Several years have passed and I have not seen another Ringo Kid 28 come up on ebay. 

Anyway, I needed to raise some money for a mission trip that I am going on with my family this summer and I decided to sell my undercopy western variants.  The Ringo Kid was basically identical to the 9.4 copy that I kept. 

Nice deal on Marvel Super-Heroes 58 in 9.2 White

This nice copy of Marvel Super-Heroes 58 sold for $115 as a buy it now on ebay.  It is the fourth highest book graded behind one 9.6 and two 9.4s.  Marvel Super-Heroes is absolutely one of the tougher 30 cent titles.  In 2008, a 9.4 sold for $200.

March ComicLink Auction - A Slew of Highest Graded 35 Cent Price Variants Auctioned

It is always a pleasure to see an auction when a highest graded price variant comes up for auction.  Even more so when it is a highest graded 35 cent price variant.  And even more so when one auction has several of these books for sale in one night. 

This was the 2012 March ComicLink focused auction and here are the hightlights.

Important Star Wars 1 in 9.4 White ComicLink auction

The second high-grade book 35 cent variant in the March ComicLink auction was this stunning Star Wars 1 35 cent price variant.  Undoubtedly a QueenAngelica book, this is one of only seven 9.4s graded with only two 9.6s graded higher.   The QueenAngelica mini-hoard brought several high-grade copies of this ultimate bronze-age comic which temporarily sated the incredible demand for this book.  Now demand again seems to be rising for this issue.


Here are the auction details.

STAR WARS #1 - The Auction Has Ended  Item description: 1977, 1st Star Wars adaptation Publisher: Marvel Condition: CGC 9.4 NM Page Quality: White Pages Type of Holder: Universal Degree Of Restoration: Unrestored Census Rank: 2nd Highest CGC Graded Pedigree or Highlight: PRICE VARIANT Current Bid: $7,300 Number Of Bids: 41  Final Bid: $7,300 End Date: 3/7/2012 10:43:00 PM ComicLink Comments: Very few Bronze Age comics can match the scarcity of the 35 cent Price Variant of the first issue of Star Wars, and the combination of this iconic series with the comic book format underscores the cultural relevancy of both. The offered example is 1 of only 7 at the CGC 9.4 NM tier and is the second highest grade ever assigned by CGC with just two examples graded slightly higher in 9.6. Elevating this one to the very top of the short 9.4 list, CGC has assigned its perfect page quality designation of White Pages.

Daredevil 136 joins the four-figure club

The October ComicLink auction featured some exceptionally nice 30 cent variants.  The highlight of the auction was the single highest graded Daredevil 136 which bought $1227 after spirited bidding (35 bids). 

This was the finest grouping of 30 cent variants to come up in  a long time.  I think the auction was kind of hit and miss in regards to pricing as some of the books, like the spidey variants, went for bargain prices, while others did very well.  The auction was competing with the World Series and football.  Here are the other variant highlights.

Another Iron Fist 14 35-Cent variant sale of note.

CGC boardie Keldog sent me a note about a recent sale of a nice Iron Fist 14 35-cent variant on ComicConnect.  This book sold for $2850 after receiving 13 bids. 

Notable sales for CGC graded books in June 2011

List of highest graded 30 cent Marvel Price Variants

Here is a handy list of the highest graded Marvel 30 cent Price Variants.  I find it very useful as a quick reference.  Books bolded in red are the ones where no copy is graded as high as NM-.  Books bolded in blue are the issues found in 9.8.  Champions, Ka-Zar, and Super-Villian Team-Up series are the only series that are complete in 9.8.  Kull, the Destroyer is also available in 9.8, but it is a one book price 30 cent price variant series.
