Who the hell is stupid enough to buy this at the "Buy it Now" Price? Ebay Link Give me a F@#king break. Seriously! This is another reason why I don't host a full blown Defiant Comics website & board anymore. This category will self-destruct in 24hrs. Defiant1

can't really explain the second guy, he obviously overvalues signed books, but I wonder why he feels the Defiant book is worth that much more than the Batman? Both are equally valueless. ;D
The first guy is just one of those guys who thinks anything in a CGC case is gold and prices his books accordingly.

Both are equally valueless. ;D The first guy is just one of those guys who thinks anything in a CGC case is gold and prices his books accordingly. Usually if you overvalue your books, the prices are still based on something. With regards to the first guy, there are 10,000 of these with the insert. That is a published number as oppposed to the guessing and speculation we might have with other Defiant Comics issues. There is just nothing to base that price on. There is no demand. There is no real rarity factor coming into play. This is simply a case of a guy who wants to charge $200 for a comic that he got very cheaply. It'd be nice if he had some evidence to support his claim that defects are common, but even if they are he hasn't proven there's any demand for the book at all. As far as the second book goes, it's fairly easy to get also. Sad to say, a Jim Shooter signature is almost worthless. Jim signed too many products and he signed way too many Defiant products. Signatures as a general rule only retain value when the person signing shows a little discretion or even refuses to sign iitems. Defiant1

Defiant1 yeah i think i have about 11 or 12 of this book and i know i have given one away to another collector.i see your point on the signature stuff George Lucas would be a good example of a person that does not sign stuff.

Some celebrities resent their autograph being sold for money and they refuse to sign items. That only makes their autograph worth more to collectors. If I ever became famous, my autpgraph would be worthless. I sign my name at work about 100 to 200 times per day.
