Fred Slota Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Mainly for my curiosity, but what is the background on its value difference from the other 4 first-print variants? I see that there is an odd AtomicAvenue offering of a a VF-NM at $294.99. Does that have an effect on the valuation? Or is that Deadpool card really that much more popular?

Gregory Hecht Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 My understanding is that the Deadpool card is indeed associated with greater demand than any of the other cards. I would say that $250 (unslabbed) is well above where the market is, but yes the Deadpool card version does realize a higher price on the market than the other cards.

Fred Slota Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 I guess I was just looking for confirmation that that wacky solicited price wasn't a large component of the difference. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Ekis Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Fred, I am very confident that the Atomic Avenue listing is the problem. You can get bagged issues with the Deadpool card in very high quality on eBay for $50-100 easy. Mark C, can you review the pricing on this issue?

Fred Slota Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 If you can get copies for $50-$100, the AtomicAvenue $294.99 probably has less to do with it. Since you looked, how do the prices on the other variants look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Hecht Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 No, ComicBase is NOT asserting that $295 is the NM value for that issue, not even close. The database pegs that particular issue at $11.50 in NM condition. I don't think that the valuations in the CB database are out of whack, they actually seem to be lower than some other places (e.g., mycomicshop). If I understand Fred's question, he was less concerned about the fact that somebody has posted a copy w/ a Deadpool card for $295 and more concerned that particular listing was inappropriately inflating the valuation for that issue. He was assuming that all first print copies of X-Force #1 w/ trading cards would have the same value, but it turns out that the market does put the Deadpool card at a higher value.

Fred Slota Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 I understand that selling price on AA is set by the seller and does not represent a CB valuation. Yes, I was wondering if/how much that wacky offering might be having an impact. It might have been wholly responsible, it might have been adding an additional $1 or $2.

I recognize that. My comment regarding the accuracy of the valuation was meant for Joel as he was asking for a price check. Which I don't think is really needed here. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that!
