Question about history of CGC Sigs
I have a dilema theres a book that I"m interested in, book value on it is 60.00 in Wizard, it's variant cover, and it's graded 9.9 mint and it's a CGC Sig series.
What should I offer on a book that's 9.9 mint and auto'ed, and the book in itself is hard to find.

I knew you were going to ask that I was hoping to keep this on the DL...lol
Honestly the sig is not very appealing to me, it's nice but it doesn't sway me. And the seller has said his price is negotiable.

Dear order_66,
Well a 9.8 sold for 60.00 dollars two years ago. But that being, I understand what you have is diffrent, but man there's no market value for your book. I see your asking price and it scares the chit out me. lol.
I would compare it to the one that sold last week. Halloween Nightdance issue #2 CGC 9.8 autographed by Tony Moran it sold for 155.00.

Now theres two points diffrent, your book is older and a little less popular than the current series. The one that sold last week was the incentive cover of issue 2, which according to collectors is one of the hardest to attain, and it was in 9.8 condition.
Now yours is in 9.9 and it's rare too. But comparing them despite their diffrences I think the 9.9 covers the diffrences, although you may not want to here that it sold for only 155.00. So obviously thats no where near your asking price.
I think a fair price for this book in my opinion, and keep in mind I am a collector of these books, would be about 300.00 in my opinion. I mean no disrespect.

It's a chromium book.
True, there is only one on the census....but there are only 9 total graded.
I also question CGC's making this a sig series when Tony Moran is not a creator on that book, just an actor.
I look at this as a novelty item, not a genuine collectible. I would have been more impressed if this had been a regular 9.9.
I would say a reasonable offer for this book would be about $150.

That's where I'm stuck on it, if it were unsigned just plain CGC 9.9 it would be awesome.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:

Which is funny, because I'm SURE the seller thought "man, those stupid collectors will pay SUPER extra for this sig!"dbostejano wrote:That's where I'm stuck on it, if it were unsigned just plain CGC 9.9 it would be awesome.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:

This particular sig ruins it for me.

I know the seller, and while he starts out really high on some stuff, he also knows about what a book should actually bring and generally can be very reasonable.dbostejano wrote:I agree, here's what I sent him.superman-prime wrote:Thats not realistic at all, the sellers off his rocker a bit or a LOT

I think he's after some extra cash for San Diego, too.
Let us know what happens!
