Spidey 35 cent variants...who can afford them?

The Comic Collecting Forum

These two raw comics are described in Fine Plus to Very Fine condition.

Current CPG values for both at 6.5 and 8.0: $56 and $140

Current OS PG values for both at 6.0 and 8.0: $45 and $106

Total snipers on these auction's last moments but both went WAY higher than I would have predicted using the CPG or OS guides.

Winning Bid: $230.50; Amazing Spider-man #169 .35 cent variant http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260395434656

Winning Bid: $300; Amazing Spider-Man #170 .35 cent variant http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260395436046

I was watching, and hoping to bid on, these eBay auctions. I thought I could afford to upgrade the variant I just sent to CGC. If raw ASM .35 price variants are up to these prices it may be a lot more difficult for collectors to even get the mid-grade books. Yeeeeeshshshshsh.... Crazy

What's in my long boxes? http://www.comicspriceguide.com/world/default.asp?m=Magic%20Dan

As more people come to realize these exist, I think we will continue to see some very high prices as they trickle out into the market. Demand will continue to be strong, and I doubt very much we will see a large influx of new finds, but there will be more. Just not enough to offset the rarity. Yep....they will continue to be unaffordable for many of us. Posts by CPG moderators do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the ComicsPriceGuide.com.

Probably less than a handful known copies of each. Just like the $0.30 variant horror titles (which I managed to get a few of) are difficult to find as well. Aaron
