    I view the new #1 as just another story arc. It will be set in a different time, but still be part of the overall HR title. I am curious to see whether they get the bump in numbers they are hoping for with a new #1 instead of #16. I don't see it hitting as high as the first volume HR 1, which was still way lower than it should have been due to Marvel not promoting it properly. As we have discussed privately, between the lack of HR 1/HR Advs 1 promotion pre-FOC, and the DV 20 Sprouse image not being released in advance, whoever is in charge of marketing for the SW line at Marvel should be fired.

    Looks like HR 1 cover A is now a $100+ book in CGC 9.8. There are sales now in the $120s, which puts it at the Hans cover level. Looks like the old rule of cover A, this is the way, may hold in the end. I feel bad for the seller that decided to use a different grading company for their 1:25 variant. I did not realize how steep the discount on XXXX moderns was now. XXXX 9.8 SW High Republic 1 Sway 1:25 - $122.05 https://www.ebay.com/itm/125137346848?hash=item1d22c46120:g:eYMAAOSwm21iAV5I

    We will see what happens in the next arcs. I expect Marchion to eventually show in the main book, but right now they seem to be setting that up for the Sith.

    Nope. @kimik and I hit that book with our pre-order. We should have gone higher, although I think we ordered more than Marc.
  5. kimik
    If you are in Calgary, check out Saddle City Comics and see if Marc has any available. He usually orders a few extra on SW 1st apps.........

    That is the first appearance that matters now, right? Cover > 1st full inside > cameo?

    Most LCSs will be out by now, but I know of one that still has some. I am not sure I need to chase any more though after my spec pre-order.

    Nice books, Troy.

    HR #7 1st print is hitting $19.99 on the Bay now.

    Molten Man would be great since ASM 28 is still cheap relative to other ASM villain 1st apps.

    Now I know how it feels to be Greggy and go from opened to GEI in a few business days!

    I have a lottery winner that was opened last week and hit GEI today!

    I would if it made sense financially, but it is not an option that my wife would agree to without costing me at least half of everything including the books.

    Frick it is getting impossible to keep up with books now. There are so many moderns popping that it takes a full time job to stay on top of things.
  16. kimik
    Sweet. Time to send in more Transformers books for grading. They should be back by the release date if you get them in before the end of February 2022........

    The trailer looked great. The only comment from my kids was that they hope it has better CGI than the Hobbit. that the series is at the same level of production quality of what Amazon has done with other series.
  18. kimik
    Or, was it my mistake at taking offence and you really meant Karl and Dave and lumped me in with them by mistake?
  19. kimik
    I will remember this comment when you ask me for a deal at the Calgary Expo in April.
  20. kimik
    FF 48 is still relatively cheap for SA Marvel keys as well.
  21. kimik
    Has Greggy already cleaned all of the sellers out of their worthwhile books?
  22. kimik
    Sweet. I nabbed a couple of copies for cheap from a local auction house in December along with a bunch of other New Avengers/Avengers/Avengers etc. of note for $2.50 apiece.
  23. kimik
    That is nice of them to wait for you to pull the lids off. I have dealers taking lids off of stuff as I wheel boxes in at the bigger shows.......
  24. kimik
    You mean spec buy a bunch up front, sell a few to double your initial investment, then tuck the rest away.
  25. kimik
    I think the original OP question should read long term speculation boxes, not box. Right now there is so much from SA through to MA that is worth stockpiling.
