Ebay tour 8/13/05

I did a rare search of ebay today. I don't do that often.

(This lot has the last issues and is therefore the type of instant collection a person should be looking to find. No comment on the price. You decide what's right for you.)

It should be noted that the Origin of Chasm comic does not exist. While the binder does advertise a send away comic, it was never made and therefore cannot come with any binders you might find on ebay. The word exclusive here is misleading. The binder advertised fits the same description as any that were sold. The only context that the word exclusive can imply is that it was not made for any oher card sets. That is quite obvious by looking at the cover alone. Buying this auction would be an expensive way to go if you want a complete set of cards. It takes cases of comics to get all the limited cards and one 36 pack sleeve just puts you in a position to buy a lot more cards. If possible, I advise people to hold out for complete binders. If you just want the story, this might be a start, but ity still probably won't get you there.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, Defiant1. I had no idea what the Chasm comic was let alone it not existing. That ebay listing was the first I had heard of it and was curious why it never showed up on this site. Now I know.

It makes that other auction more tempting now. Too bad it up and vanished. Maybe it ended and I just wasn't paying attention.

Thanks!

There was an auction that just closed that was probably the one you were talking about because I had it on my watch list, as well. A Dark Dominion binder with the complete set, supposedly a complete Level one set, and what sounded like they were describing a near complete level two set. With shipping, it would have been $20. I wasn't sure if that was a steal or if I could still hope to get it cheaper..

The guy relisted it and now already has a bidder, after not getting a bite the first time.

That's the one! Woulda-coulda-shoulda. Gonna have to watch this one again.

I mention that in this thread...
defiant1.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=BroadwayComicsDiscussion&action=display&thread=1097710107&page=2

If that sells it means "Miracle On Broadway" is the most valuable comic I own. I don't think my Amazing Fantasy #15 is even worth $2,000.

I think a price that high makes people cynical rather than excited. It would be nice to see a sales trend before before a price that high was tossed out there.

Heh. Didn't see that. Sorry.

No problem. The Broadway & Defiant discussion gets intermingled. I expect it to happen, but I try to keep it segregated as much as possible so people can find the threads they want to revisit in the future.
