Do not underestimate the value of that Ed Bozarth sticker which appears to be in pristine condition!

The confidence in that 8.4 condition is admirable.

Not an auction, but this is a great example of why Midtown Comics is broken. For a vast number of their items, they have adopted Mile High's pricing model: inflate it to ridiculous heights, and then try to sell it for 50% off. Thing is, most of the time the 50% off is still too high. Plus, their condition is often way off from those advertised.

There's a 9.6 on eBay for $55 and even that is slightly above the average price for such copy according to Greg's price guide.

Shadowman #15 - 1:20 Variant - Michael Allred - 2014 sells for over $150!!!!!! Wow! I wonder why it sold so high?

Wow. Nearly 20 year old thread.

What strange times we find ourselves in, if I may end prepositionally.

Hello ZephyrWasHot!

Adverbial prepositions give the English language a rare capacity for precise expression.

Hullo.

Internet message boards seem to have gone the way of the dinosaur...

But still a great place to find out about niche projects! Check out the Kickstarter for Schism.
Without this board, I would have never known.

Sorry, Chiclo and Zephyr, no words in my post over 3 syllables

Another one of these sold. What is the appeal of this 1:20? I guess this was a bargain compared to the last sale.

[Juki]

I guess there are no theories about the inflation in price of this Shadowman 1:20 ?

[nycjadie]

Im guessing scarcity and two Allred fans. I have one but nowhere near NM. The variants I got back then were pretty poor.

[Juki]

As you mentioned….Maybe #15 1:20 is more scarce because it is the last 1:20 variant in this 16 issue Shadowman series. It just seems odd that it is selling for as much as rare key VEI comics.

[aj583]

Usually copies from that seller are high grade (I’ve bought a number of Valiant books from them). Allred is a known artist and there are no CGC 9.8s of that book.

Just when I didn’t think vintage VEI VALIANT VARIANT PRICES could get much lower; a big sale like this occurs ($335.00). I have to say that I do luv that Sean Chen cover art (with the nod to the VH1 Harby #1 cover).

Wow. Over $300?!? That’s nuts. Copies of that have sold over the last 6 months from $30 to $50. It just takes 2 bidders I guess. I do love that cover! Great book.
