Greetings Crom-wellians, I've been buying up Savage Swords from a Hyrkanian at the flea market. He's usually hard-assed about pricing for all his goods. However, he's been selling Savage Sword back issues for $2 bucks a pop, which is sometimes a quarter .25 less than when they were originally distributed. So I've swooped up all the earliest issues there, which were a few pre-100's, but mostly 100-199's. Haven't bought any 200 and up yet, but was surprised that in a recent eBay auction : Savage Sword of Conan Lot 1 (60 issues: #40 to #100) went for $75 dollars Savage Sword of Conan Lot 2 (50 issues: #101 to #150) went for $142 dollars Savage Sword of Conan Lot 3 (42 issues: #151 to #200) for $122 dollars Savage Sword of Conan Lot 4 (35 issues: #201 to #235) for $132 dollars My question regarding those, is, why did the later issue lots price above the early issue lot (which even had the higher quantity of issues, 60) ?? and in particular, why did the 201-235 lot (which only contained 35 issues) price higher than two other earlier lots ?? At any rate, spurred by this, I will now definitely hit up the Hyrkanian vendor to swoop up the 200+ issues. There is also a cache of CONAN SAGAs. Does the SAGA mostly reprint SAVAGE SWORD content ? and/or is there exclusive content in the SAGAs ? Thank you for you wisdom and knowledge !
