FF John Byrne run complete...

Post by BettyBoop2 »

Hi guys,

I'm 99% complete in building the Fantastic Four run of John Byrne.

This is his scripting/pencil run that is considered by many to be a "second Golden Age" on that book. Incrediable to view and read.

The run is from #232-#293. Six-years, 72 issues. 90% of the issues are 8.0 and above. More than 1/2 the run is 9.0 and above. With about 8 to 10 that would grade at 9.4.

Think about this and let me know what you think I could sell this for. Here...Collectors Society or eBay.

Im putting a set together myself and the problem is it does not hold great value monetary wise, but to me is one of the single most fantastic runs on any book ever.

Ok...I understand.

But do you think (based on what I've told you) it would draw between $80 and $100?

Possibly, but probably not because they're not "NM". These books were some of the highest printed books of the early to mid 80's, and as a result, aren't scarce.

But I have seen complete runs advertised as "NM" sell for $150+.

My advice would be: get the complete run, then list it on eBay as average VF/NM. The eBay drones won't care, and with a complete run, you'd likely get a really good price. I think you can achieve $1/book at a minimum.

I wouldn't recommend trying to sell it here. We're all farrrr too cheap.
