And this thread is now closed. Thanks for all of the purchases, everyone.

Awesome FS thread like usual, Ltpink2002.

Covers and 1st apps are what drive sales now. TAH #22 is a comic book with very few words, a cover, and crappy artwork, but it is worth big $$$ for a modern since it is the first appearance of Wolverhulk/Hulkverine/Weapon H.

Okay, all three books are yours. Are you interested in an X-O #1 CGC 9.8 or X-O #4 CGC 9.6 as well?

Thanks. I guess I priced it too low?

Rai #0 CGC 9.6 - $60 Matte Version. 1st Full Appearance of Bloodshot, 1st New Rai.

Detective Comics #474 CGC 9.8 - $300 1st Modern Deadshot

Catwoman #74 CGC 9.8 - $160 Classic Adam Hughes mirror cover!

Thanks for the purchases, everyone. Here are the last few books for this sales thread: Batman #417 CGC 9.8 - $80 1st Appearance of KGBeast

I am sure you guys will find some more nice stuff tucked away in the boxes. Now you just need to open a store to sell it all....................

True enough. But the difference is that most of the other books had solid established value as a comic collectible before the TV show or movie, not because of it. Comparing WD #1 to AF #15 or IH #181 is not accurate as a result - Spider-Man and Wolverine were popular with comic collectors/readers for 2 decades+ before the movies hit. WD #1 prices were driven primarily by TV show viewers who were not comic collectors/readers. Those buyers do not care about a #1 1st print or black or white copy if they can get a TPB instead. WD will likely follow the same fate as the pre-unity and retailer incentive Valiants did after their speculative run up and bust. FWIW, WD back issues have been cold the past couple of years at shows - demand has been droppingas the viewership of the show wanes which is an early warning sign of things to come (you can basically say the same for all Image back issues across the board except for Saga). There is price resistance on keys and all early issues. This is why my view is that WD #1 prices will drop nicely after the TV show ends. It may take a bit as speculators do not want to sell initially as prices continue to drop and book a loss, but without the TV show to fuel the hype/speculation the prices on WD #1 will drop for a few years and plateau well below the peak. That will be the time to buy and tuck a copy or two away for the long haul, but even then I am not certain since the whole zombie/vampire/horror theme has been played out numerous times over the years across different generations. If you are into a 9.8 for less than $1k you should be okay longer term after the TV glow fades on prices, but if you bought it at the $2K+ level then expect prices to continue to trend down (or expect to hold for a long time).

Well put. Without the TV show it likely would have struggled to hit the $1K mark and may have been cancelled by now.

+1 That was a great time to be a Spidey collector and reader. It was pretty much downhill from there for a long while. I stopped collecting it around issue #336 or #337 (Sinister Six storyline) due to the drop in the quality of stories and artwork post-McFarlane.

Wow. This is like Nowhere Men all over again........

Why would other modern keys be affected? There should be a correction with TWD as the TV show winds down and eventually the comic series as well. It will not happen for a while, but once the property is "dead" the book will correct even more. FWIW, it likely would never have hit the $2K mark without it.

Amazing Spider-Man #365 CGC 9.8 - $100 1st Spider-Man 2099

Uncanny X-Men #266 CGC 9.6 - $175 1st Appearance of Gambit

Here are a couple of other books: New Teen Titans #2 CGC 9.8 - $700 (90 day GPA is $735, last sale $749) 1st Deathstroke.

Thanks.

+1 I really hope they do this. Are they done filming? If yes, and the CGI can be done in time, do it. That would be a huge movie. Josh Brolin would love the Christmas gift as well after presumably raking it with his royalty from Infinity War and Deadpool 2 in the first half of the year. I am curious to see whether the sequel will top this film. I think it should, and that would mean a second $2B+ superhero movie which would be awesome.

Omega Men #3 CGC 9.4 - $70 1st Appearance of Lobo.

Marvel Spotlight #32 CGC 9.4 - $160 SOLD 1st Spider-Woman
