Nice book! I'll have to settle for 9.6 I give up on the 9.8's.

You're my vote for Boardie of the year again this year! Now go make a new "club" will you?

I've been quiet about Hustruck, but when I offered up books for sale he tried to purchase one of them. I wanted to thank Justin and my other boardie friends who warned me about him. When I told him in pm that I would not sell to him he got very belligerent towards me. Justin n' the guys really saved me grief, just one of the many reasons why I'm so happy to have a LOT of friends on these boards. Thanks to all of you for looking out for us, not only Justin but Sharon and many many others. Thank you all.

Jeff is great to work with, very happy with everything!!!!

I love that quote. It won't turn out to be accurate in this case, though. Harley's rise in popularity has been building for a while. She'll be a key hobby fixture for years. When you look at BA 12 print and supply numbers, and use NM 98 as a measuring stick, you realize there may even be more room to run for 9.8s. Five years out, $1500 for a BA 12 in 9.8 may seem cheap. Right. "This time will be different." *yawn* -J. No. It'll be the same. The same as other characters who've become leading players in the hobby and seen the values of their first appearances rise. Think Wolverine circa 1980, Punisher circa 1986, Deadpool over the past few years ... and now Harley. There's a long history of characters becoming hobby favorites to draw from. Or....more like the same pumped up movie hype, with the same subsequent crash. The market has changed since Wolverine and the Punisher, and this book is being relentlessly pumped (on these boards) and shilled (on ebay). These are not the hallmarks of long term viability. That, and the character is rapidly becoming over-exposed. -J. Look, I don't make it a point to play the guessing game in comics. Not with this market or economy of the world. On the long list of "need shelter, food, clothing..." comics are way down on the list. Having said that, not sure what your beef is with Harley Jay. You act like this book isn't 22 yrs old now. This book isn't "Manifest Destiny", or "The Strain" or anything else that has hyped in the last year or several for that fact. I'm not stating the unreasonable rise in price is good for the book, but it certainly won't come "crashing down" to $200 in 9.8. EVER. Harley is the most popular character with women, and a lot of men. She's the most popular in cosplay, and every women I know that is into comics wants one of these. The new generation would rather have this book than any Golden Age book or even SA/BA. They aren't screaming for "CATMAN" or anything else, but for Harley. All this and the last 2 series of her books have absolutely SUCKED. Now let's imagine a world where a Frank Miller type writer actually starts writing her series, and it's GOOD. Even GREAT. Imagine where this book would go then. I'm not defending this high rise. But I certainly see a lot worse places for the younger peeps to park their money than in this book.

And one reason why I don't run auctions, only list as bin/Bo.

Nice book Sean!

227# should get tons and tons of love!! We also should make a new thread for a "club" thread.

I had three friends recommend this, and I absolutely loved it!

+1 (Never +1'd a comment from 2 yrs ago). I never subscribe to the "what I collect is awesome and what you collect sucks", so I'll leave my opinions to myself in regards to this particular cover.

Glad to see everyone's in the Holiday spirit this year!!

Kevin76 gets my respect because he has a JLA #1 cgc 9.2.

1. Bone 2. Fables 3. Stray...

I only came into this thread to find out about where to get cut up cardboard for shipping. For the record tho, I'm fairly certain that was not Divad's ebay listing but could be wrong. And did something change in regards to the ASM 252? Is that not the first black cover now? Just checking as I don't want to deceive people at our upcoming comic con when I sell my copies.

Ships fast, and great service all around!!! Thanks again!!!

In my opinion, I felt the comment was a bit intrusive. How about we add: most everything on comiclink sold for 20% off gpa due to the fact that: they ended it the same night as comic connect's auctions and great raw books from sparklecity's auctions on ebay, oh and it's 3 weeks before Christmas and despite a couple thinking it's a great time to sell, gpa doesn't suggest this in past years except ultra hot books like FF 45 and the like.

What was the grade for the book? Just curious! So glad I have my lowly 2.0 I couldn't afford this book anymore!

+1 Btw, I felt this was fairly impressive!! Another to add on my long list to look for. I know it's been selling well for quite some time, but figured I'd post it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aliens-1-CGC-9-8-White-Pages-UnRestored-/261692271968?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=V5AVPmy%252Bk2N5C7N59Y%252FO02TUK6A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Conan has been one of the better assets of this forum.

I actually was about to post this sale.

There's a club owner in Toronto that I promised a NM 98 to as a gift the next time I see him. I promised to get him a copy 3 months ago. He tells me he's wanted a copy his entire life. I think he's about 35. He no longer actively collects (he holds what he has), he certainly doesn't speculate. He just wants a copy. There's going to be a lot of people like that. He should have bought a copy when nobody cared about the character. Or wait a few years after the hype dies down and pick up a copy. Buying a copy right now isn't the most financially sound decision to make. People want things when they start to command a premium price. It`s the nature of the beast. Did anybody want Marvel Preview 4 or Sunfire and Big Hero 6 #1 a few years ago when they could have been pulled out of dollar boxes? Soon as they started hitting a high price that`s when they became desired. This is so true. IMO Deadpool's here to stay. 2 most popular characters these days: Harley & Deadpool. It'll have it's ups & downs but it's here to stay.

As someone else said in another thread: "This is what you get for selling your comics". Jk obviously I definitely know how you feel. Thought I did great getting $125 for my 9.8 NM#98
