Not too long ago, there was a brief discussion in the Boosterrific Forum about an apparent price increase in Booster Gold back issues. At the time, I assumed that it couldn't have anything to do with a Booster Gold television show because it had been a few years since there was any news on that front. But when have comic book prices ever been based on reality?

The website Comic Book Scalping last week recommended Booster Gold, Volume 1, #1 as a target issue for speculators looking to buy low and sell high.

A year ago, collectible copies of the issue (very fine or better) could be had for only $3, but now ComicsPriceGuide.com currently values those same issues at about $30 or more. On eBay.com, you'll find high-grade slabbed copies going for over $200!

I can't think of any reason that Booster's first appearance is going up in price so quickly other than the persistent rumors that he might be coming to television. So hang on to your copies, Booster boosters. Speculators will be beating down our doors if DC ever gets that much-anticipated television series off the ground!

According to ComicsPriceGuide.com, Booster Gold, Vol. 1, #9 is worth about $3.00 in near-mint condition. According to Etsy.com, the same issue is worth more than $4.40 if you cut all the pages out.

JennsMinis is selling 12 pages from the issue in two separate listings (here and here). The issue originally contained 16 pages of story and ads. Even if you buy both listings, you'll still have to buy an intact issue and tear it apart yourself to complete your collection of loose pages.
