2013 SPAWN 228 SKETCH COVER CGC 9. 6 SIGNED TODD McFARLANE SIGNATURE SERIES RARE
Item History & Price
2013 SPAWN #228 SKETCH COVER / CGC 9.6 / SIGNED by TODD McFARLANE CGC SIGNATURE SERIES RARE! ACTION COMICS #1 VARIANT / HOMAGE / SWIPE / COVER. OF ALL THE ACTION COMICS #1 HOMAGE COVERS / THIS IS ONE OF THE SCARCEST / RAREST ISSUES TO FIND. IT WAS PRODUCED IN VERY LIMITED QUANITIES SO FINDING UNGRADED COPIES IS DIFFICULT AND WHY SO MANY SELLERS ARE ASKING $100 ON AVERAGE ON THE LOW SIDE, MOST ASKING PRICES ARE MUCH HIGHER. MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FINDING GRADED COPIES.
THERE ARE ONL...Y (14) COPIES GRADED CGC 9.8 UNSIGNED, SO IN HIGH GRADE IT IS VERY SCARCE. IT BECOMES MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND A HIGH GRADE SIGNED CGC COPY. HIGH GRADE OF 9.6 AND 9.8. THERE ARE ONLY (11) TOTAL COMICS GRADED 9.8 / 9.6 ON THE CGC CENSUS. OUT OF THOSE (11) GRADED THERE ARE (6) 9.8s AND (5) 9.6s SIGNED. VERY FEW SIGNED SIGNATURE SERIES WITH ALL EXCEPT ONE OF THOSE (11) ARE SIGNED BY TODD McFARLANE. ONE SINGLE 9.6 COPY IS SIGNED BY TODD McFARLANE AND STAN LEE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER LOOKING VARIANT / HOMAGE / COVERS OF EVERYONE MADE (IMO). THIS COMIC WAS AN INSTANT CLASSIC THE DAY IT ROLLED OFF THE PRESS`S AND MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE COLLECTING COMMUNITY AS COLLECTORS COULDNT GET THEIR HANDS ON THEM FAST ENOUGH. MANY SELLERS TRIED TO MAKE A FAST BUCK AND SALES ON THE SECONDARY MARKET QUICKLY MADE THIS ISSUE AN INSTANT HIT. THE DEMAND FOR THIS COMIC SUPER SEEDS THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS ISSUE. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED WHEN ONE OF THE (11) 9.6 ISSUES LISTED AND SOLD HERE ON EBAY JUST LAST WEEK. YOU NEVER SEE THEM AND WHEN YOU DO SELLERS HAVE HIGH PRICES, LOOK AT THE LISTED PRICE RIGHT NOW ON THE ONE FROM HONG KONG.
LOW OPENING RESERVE, HIGH BID WINS AND YOU WONT SEE MANY OF THESE OFFERED FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THERE ARE VERY FEW TO BE FOUND...THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY ONE SIGNED IN RED INK...
PLEASE DONT BID IF YOU WONT PAY TOO MANY NON-PAYING BIDDERS LATELY...
