    Why? Tec 850 was MUCH hotter in March of last year. The last one on ebay sold raw for $20. It was well over $50 last year.

    This person certainly did not...……………. So they made #2 after the Fantasy Quarterly and then reprinted the FQ story as #1. Got it.

    Shazam 1 is Capt Marvel's first real appearance in 19 years. That's longer than most of the characters who have a huge value attached to their "First Silver/Bronze Age Appearance" like Captain America, Namor, and basically the entire Batman villain list. Different topic, but "first Silver Age appearance" is the most over-hyped, price inflating ruse in the hobby...……………..

    Has been since January after they announced the Kitty movie.

    If it's for his PC, what's the harm at a mere $20 fee? If it's for selling, 90 day is $250, last sale is $340 (!). I sold a ratty 8.0 at Heroes for $232. There's no way anyone would have given me $200 for it raw. That $20 slabbing fee made me a few bucks and made it a whole lot easier to sell. Congrats on your first slabs...………….all of them!

    As it should. I've been preaching for years to anyone who would listen that 94 is the most over-hyped and overpriced "big" book there is. It has next to no relevance in today's market. The only people actively buying it are people trying to finish their X-Men runs...………...and @Bio-Rupp

    I don't know what it is about this book, but it speaks to me!

    I was actually working in a comic shop at the time of it's release, but had multiple kids and had to get a "real job" by the time his solo series came out. I was very much on the periphery of the hobby in the late 90's, returning in the early 2000's. My opinion was more based on now, which I realize isn't an accurate portrayal of his "meaningfulness" at the time.

    My point was simply that I thought it was odd that they had kicked around the idea of doing a TV show based on a character who's been dead for 15+ years and isn't really on the radar of most of the average comics buying group's radar. If I've had 1000's of people at my booth and had zero requests for him (and I've had some crazy obscure asks), that's a fairly good indication of his current popularity. It's not a mainstream character or series is all I was saying after my initial post. I even backtracked on my own statement with "In hindsight I guess "meaningful" isn't a stretch for the time. Pretty sure that run won a few Eisner and CBG awards."

    All copies available for quantity discounts
  17. Hey Kids, Comics!
    That was like two reboots ago!

    Sold a CGC 7.5 Marvel Spotlight 5 for $699.99 (highest price ever for that grade by $50....but not really since he really paid $599.99). The best part? I bought it with the 25% coupon a few weeks ago for $530. Not getting rich, but a nice little flip.

    Which is odd considering he's appeared in exactly one new comic issue since 2007.
  20. Hey Kids, Comics!
    Meaningful. Obviously it's subjective, but it always amazed me that his series lasted 60+ issues as I've never met one fellow collector who admits to have read it and have never (in over 5 years of doing cons) had one person ask me for any Hitman issues or appearances. In hindsight I guess "meaningful" isn't a stretch for the time. Pretty sure that run won a few Eisner and CBG awards.

    Probably the first time those words have ever been uttered or typed...…………………….
  22. Hey Kids, Comics!
    On the plus side, I've bought way more than I've corrected. Win/win for both of us!
  23. Hey Kids, Comics!
    Not a 2nd print. 50/50 variant cover.
  24. Hey Kids, Comics!
    I don't blame you. I know I have 3 copies......maybe 4!
  25. Hey Kids, Comics!
    I take it that there is no FC 178 in the lot?
