  1. Rumor is Richard Madden is coming back as Ikarus very soon. Seris and Thena are reported to be coming back too. I'm sure there will be others. I liked the cast so i'm good with that. Just watched it last night on Disney+ again.
  2. The 7500.00 9.8 was a great price and Ive had that one for a while now(that gpa was when I bought it) I bought that copy and the one on comiclink was just purchased within the last 6 to 8 months or so. I bought that one too. Thats my old copy that I finally came to an agreement to buy back from the owner. The 30k copy, It was on my list of books to buy back for my collection that i had previously sold. The last 9.6 sold for close to 7500.00 so its right there with what i paid at the time for that 9.8. I believe there are still only 3 or so on the census in 9.8.

  4. Wouldn't hurt to have one of the newer cases but they do tend to fall off on those older cases. I myself, wouldn't sweat it.
  5. It is definitely something I'll pick up when it comes out. That gif is awesome btw.
  6. Glad I went to go see it last night. Between myself and the other two people who went with me, we gave it a 7, 8, and 8. Definitely laid out the characters fairly well and the story was a bit of a deviation from typical Marvel movies but different did not translate into bad like many of the critics said. Its crazy when critics are reviewing at low numbers and the general audience is saying something very different. Currently, critics are at 44% with 328 reviews and general viewers are at 80% with over 5,000+ verified ratings. This is when I swear critics just copy and paste from each other rather than going to see a film and posting their own opinions. For what it's worth, the movie was something I'd go and see again. I'm tempted to go back this week.
  7. Reviews don't mean much to me these days. The last Hellboy movie was dubbed the worst comic book movie ever by many sites. Are you kidding me? Sure Milla Jovovich wasn't a good choice IMO but the movie iteself was much better than several comic book movies I've seen. Personally, I liked it at least as much as the first two Hellboy movies and waaaaay more than Black Widow. Eternals tickets for this coming Thursday. Jolie and Hayek as well as a few others, are signed up for multiple movie contracts with Marvel. Eternals aren't going anywhere. For that collector out there who owns the third Eternals 1 cgc 9.8 30 cent variant...you should totally hit the panic button and sell it to me before its totally worthless forever!
  8. quite welcome. I'm sure it would be severely impacted since stains are brutally punishing when it comes to knocking down grades and I'm thinking the bubble was from liquid of some sort. With the bubble, I'm definitely guessing sub 9s.
  9. Perhaps contact cgc and maybe someone would have you send it back so they can place it in the slab the way it should have been? Might be worth it in order to be happy with it. If I get a book and it has an issue I can't live with, it goes. That would drive me insane even though its a small issue.
  10. Tough to say. The first two pics didn't seem to show enough detail (then again, it could be my eyes). Looks like the bottom left spine corner was a tad blunted from the first pic but if that's a droplet of water on the "Y", it could just be pressed out. If there's no stain in the back where that bubble is and assuming the spine has no stress marks, I'd say 9.6 (after press) as long as that bottom left is the only visible issue. Seeing that a 9.8 can have an allowable defect, you could get lucky. Great book.
  11. Would have been a nice find. Imagine buying a few sealed packs online today and opening one up to find a nice copy just sitting there between a few books.
  12. Thanks for the link. Pulled this from their article. "The rumors that this book is part of the five below curse didn’t stop it from charging up the charts this week." One poster claimed he found one in a pack but I'll see if I can find some definitive proof somewhere. I google searched 5 below packs containing the book and haven't found a single image so if it did happen, there couldn't have been too many. If it did, someone had to have posted factual info on this somewhere. The variant purge and them being placed into those packs is believable of course. I'm just looking around to find some hard evidence somewhere but it could prove challenging.
  13. After you had posted they actually were in said packs, I believed it but was curious to see one of these packs. Googled it but didn't see anything. Without any definitive evidence on either side, its anyone's guess how many or few there really are. Even if the numbers are 3k printed, that's still miniscule when compared to the standard copy. It would be nice if print run facts were always reported, rather than leaving everyone to guess.
  14. Any pics on these value packs? I never knew such packages were offered. https://www.comichron.com/faq/ultimatefallout4sales.html
  15. "Marvel 3 pack" Not the variant copies. Dealers were able to buy 1 copy per 25 ordered but some dealers didn't even buy 25 copies of the standard cover to even qualify.
  16. You're right, I misunderstood. I thought you felt UF4 inner content wasn't relevant. In that case, I agree with you completely. Some of the variants do have me a bit baffled in terms of price vs substance.
  17. In terms of unimportant contents, I'd have to disagree when concerning Ultimate Fallout 4 in any capacity as I think its one of the most relevant books of the modern age. Art has its place but far more people collect comics due to availability alone and I agree with you that the original art should exceed its comic counterparts but if my choice was getting a random OA piece from Djurdjevic or getting an incredibly low volume UF4 9.8 variant copy of the first appearance of Spider-Man (Morales), I'd go with the variant for the combination of the relevant contents and the variant cover exclusivity. Personally, I don't collect variants that much unless its an important issue to me (Young Avengers 1, UF4, World War Hulk 5, etc...) but I feel that UF4 variant and the newsstand copies as well, still have plenty of room to grow. Being a 75 year old book or being a 7 month old books isn't a factor to me (that's just my personal view) if each book is still very low in availability, then its irrelevant in my eyes as long as it's an important issue. Comichron estimated there to be roughly 1,400 copies (U.S) of the variant and for a regular spider-man book, that's insanely low but for a big key Spidey book, I think the variant/newsstands will easily maintain value. Their explaination and rationale in terms of printed figures, seems to be the best answer that I've see so far, when concerning the estimated print run on the variant but even if its over or under that figure, I'm pretty sure it isn't by much. While all books can go up or down, I don't think we're even close to seeing either of those books top out, even at these prices. Miles is a big hit with a lot of people and a lot of kids too. Kids that will grow up with him as they are right now and collectors beyond the speculator market as well. Not that this constitutes the sum of his popularity but the Spider-Verse movie was pretty decent and his character was likeable or at least to me anyway.
  18. While I can appreciate that point of view concerning variants being printed with limited quantities in mind, I still prefer the variant cover. Even if numbers were exactly the same in terms of print runs and graded census copies, the newsstand copies still share the same cover as the standard prints so there's more of them. The variant cover seems more appealing, given there are far fewer of that particular cover and the cover art, to me at least, is also more appealing. Clearly, the newsstand copies are harder to come by and the gpa reflects that as prices keep climbing in all grades over previous sales. 3k for a 5.0 is quite impressive.
  19. I've always been a sucker for glow in the dark covers. Ghost Rider 15, Green Lantern 50, Spectre 1... there are others but those were my faves. I wasn't even aware this one existed.
