CGC 9.8 Pre-Unity Issues Trending Upwards

Post by Funcha »

I've been noticing on eBay lately that a lot of Pre-Unity key issues that are 9.8 graded are starting to go for record highs. Just thought I'd throw that out there. I've been very lucky the last few years to pick off a lot of the keys from collections and shops for a steal, but am thinking those days are rapidly coming to an end. If any of you are on the fence about getting any specific keys for your collections, I'd say NOW is the time.

Even some Unity crossover issues seem to be doing really well. Anything after that, not so much, with the exception of the last few issues of most titles.

What I've noticed for the early Harbinger issues are that the current 9.6 prices are where the 9.8 prices were 5 years ago. Very strong prices.

However, lesser keys are just not as strong as they once were. The Shadowman 8 and 16, for example. Bloodshot 6s are not going for what they used to. This is probably because of the high print runs, but I have also noted that Magnus and Solar 1s are not as strong either, I'm guessing because they are no longer in the shared universe.

Yeah, Solar 1 and Magnus 1 are still "bargain-priced" in comparison. Of course, Magnus 0 with card seems to do fairly well. I think in the $200 - $300 range.
