Golds tend to become more plentiful and generally simmer between $50-$100 selling range. In my experience the first batch of a gold sells in the $125 range.
Any guess why this X-O #1 Gold went for so much?

$500 live auction went unsold. Seems like a lot of people still on the fence, though I think this will still end up being a key. The full metal cover was 20yrs in the making.

I went into my shop as usual on Wednesday, and they had a surprise waiting for me. They said a Valiant salesperson visited them last Wed after I came in and purchased the Brushed Metal cover (which is now on its way to DBS - triple boxed!). He gave them an extra goody, and I could have it at no charge. :D

I've kicked around this idea, but really won't have the funds for another month of so. I am sure by then, these will be gone

Seems to me the Gold books were given out to Retailers first. I wonder if they will hand them out at Cons next?

That would probably be sold if it wasn't damaged.

The damage on the back is severe.

Look at this one. I actually think it reduces the value being signed by someone not involved with the specific book.

This one's been up for weeks now.

Fightorflightcomics' set incl. all variants + 2 retailer exclusive for $499 is a much better deal!

As of today, I am tracking 29 copies that have been sold on eBay.

There are 8 copies for sale, including the (presently only) CGC 9.8 Signature Series copy.

Question: is a CGC 9.6 brushed metal variant valued higher than an unknown raw? I might make my first ever submission to CGC today at C2E2 (in person, even!) and I'm not quite sure if I've got a 9.6 or a 9.8 here.

There was a 9.6 on ebay that ended at just above $500, so I don't think the value is much (or any) higher.
