Rai #2 P.1 Inquiry

[dholden007]

I am curious.... what do you guys think this page is worth, just want some opinions. Its by Joe St. Pierre inked by Charles Barnett III. Someone is selling it, but I think their asking price is way too high, but I do like it a lot. Always wanted an early Rai page.

I would imagine it's worth a lot. Single pages routinely ask around & 450. I could see a splash like this be twice that. But, you never know. Some will pay more, others less. Then you have to offer enough to entice the seller.

Well said.

Thank You All. I went to the Comic Art Con this Sunday in Secaucus NJ.
The asking price for this was $800.00 which to me seemed too high, but apparently not as ridiculous as I thought. I was thinking around $450.00 max.

As much as I want this page I am going to pass, with NYCC coming up

Jay I sent you a PM.

[nycjadie]

That's a great page. I'm pretty tempted.

[Daniel Jackson]

Did you make them an offer before you passed on it? A lot of time the asking price has some wiggle room, it's a least worth a try. It is a nice action page.

[DirtbagSailor]

I would strongly consider tossing out an offer if you are interested. You never know?

They last 3 offers I tossed out to sellers were accepted. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's free to ask, and much like a good prom date, you just might get lucky!

You contacted him, and he said $1200.00???

They quoted me $1200. They can go to

Yeah.

Did you tell him asking was $800.00 at the Comic Art Con?

[nycjadie]

In all fairness, $1200 might have been their retail price, and $800 their "boy we need to sell this as the con wasn't doing as well" price.

If anyone is interested in this page Bechara (Nostalgic Investments) http://nostalgicinvestments.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has it. Its not on his site. Your best bet would be to call him, he is flaky when it comes to E-mails. His asking price at the Comic Art Con was $800.00. He doesn't know anything about this page...what Valiant what Rai or who Joe St. Pierre are. He said he bought it from someone who told him it was very rare.

[eternalwarrior]

lol All original pages are "rare"
I have a couple of similar Rai Splashes and $1500 would be the least I would even consider if I was desperate for $. (out of the 150 pages in my personal collection these would be some of the last I would want to sell. I love the heck out of them)

[eternalwarrior]

Mine are earlier and more iconic though. Honestly $800 isn't a bad price for that one at all in my opinion. That's from the 1st ongoing and not from the Magnus/Rai flipbooks right?

Yup Rai #2 P.1

[eternalwarrior]

I would have gladly paid $800 for that before acquiring the other Rai pages I have. That is a really good one.
