Solar 60 vs X-O 68 and Bloodshot 51

[Daniel Jackson]

This Solar 60 just ended at 26.00 plus shipping. I thought this auction had 3 things going against it, which make the price even more astonishing.
First, and most importantly, the seller didn't list a condition of the comic. When you emlarge the scan you can see a couple creases along the spine. It looks like a VF copy at best. Second, the auction ended a bit after midnight Tuesday morning. Third, the seller rating is only 22.

Yeah, if that person would have just been a little patient, he could have found one in much better condition for less.

At the moment there are 3 copies listed with BINs, the cheapest of which is 27.13.

It will be interesting to see if those sell.

wow

[StarBrand]

not too bad 10 seems to be a good price for it

Or you can buy this one for only $54.99

This is the one the buyer just sold on a best offer of 20.00.

wow

Here's a list of the Solar 60s that have sold on eBay over the last couple weeks, in order of the sales.

VFNM 19.99
NM 17.99
NM 25.12
Ungraded- scan appeared VF at best 26.00
VF/VF+ 20.00

As shown, the last 3 copies average 23.70 per, especially impressive since the last 2 listings averaged only slightly above VF. If those copies were pro-rated up to NM copies about 20% should be added to the sales prices. The very fact 5 copies have sold on eBay in the last couple weeks seems to add to the momentum of this book.
Two copies are live on eBay at the moment, both listed with BINs and as NM. One is at 27.13, by the seller who just moved a copy at 25.12, the other is at 29.95. Fear not, as your intrepid reporter on this book continues to watch these listings.

I think the condition of the rare, and especially the Uber rare Valiant and Acclaim books does not matter as much as it does for other books.

As long as it is not all-trashed out, it's all good.

I agree, especially with the later Acclaim books. It's very hard to find them in NM.

I'm doing a bit more extensive Valiant pricing research here, at The Davis Report.
