I think Rico got the last one for less than $100. I've probably sold 2-4 over the last few years all at or less than $100.

This seller has an advantage since he still has that one he is selling. Mine are all gone. I have the one in my registry set, of course.

I don't expect the Magnus 1 9.8 that I have listed on eBay to last much longer. I think if I put up a scan it will be gone in a week.

must have missed that one

and the Gold Key is tempting...

CKB has the lowest/reasonable priced CGCs out there

Most of my CGC VALIANTS are from the CKB collection
(including a Solar #1 9.8)

[Vault-Keeper]

The Gold Key Solar #1 is from a collection being sold on consigment by Mile High Comics. It may be very High Grade, but $499 plus $9.99 shipping seems a bit much to me. I picked up a VF- copy for $48 a couple of years ago, and am happy with mine.---Steve

Past sales of Gold Key Dr. Solar #1 in CGC 9.0 have been $215 and $380.
(First in 2002, then in 2004).
...also in 2004 a CGC 9.2 sold for $550.

$499 is a little high for a CGC 9.0, but it's not as ridiculous as when they
listed this same book on Ebay last time with a BIN of $999.

I guess the near-pedigree made it worth the extra couple of bills.

If that gold key solar sell for that price... well lets just say its time to get mine CGC.

guy seems kind of high on his stuff in general... I keep eyeing his Usagi Yojimbo #1 9.6 but I don't think it's worth $400...

[billandedsdeals]

That price is downright reasonable compared to this one...It's a PC pedigree and all but

I just watched one of these end on eBay for $58...

Yes, a CGC 9.8 Solar #1. $58. And I "forgot" about it and came in too late to bid. Same thing, same day, I saw where a Rai #3 CGC 9.4 sold for $38.

I was really NOT "on the ball" yesterday.......

Let me look under the couch for some change.

[Philflound]

Saying there are 74 9.8 #1 Solars out there, I think he's a tad overpriced. Also, someone has it for $100 at the same time. I think sometimes these people get out of hand. Maybe I should send the seller a letter. He states in his description how hard it is to get a 9.8. I should tell him that I'll ask the other 73 people how hard it was for them to get their 9.8.

It's actually pretty hard considering I have seven of them (and account for almost 10% of the Solar 9.8s out there.) (and sold some others that came back 9.8)

I had to go through over 40 copies probably.
