  1. A) What would you do with a Preacher Preview 9.8 Blue? GPA is sketchy as none have sold since March (last time I checked) and the cheapest on ebay is $1400 OBO (mine). What do you think is a fair price for this? Is the GPA info thin because they don't come to the market often or because all that are available have stupid high BIN prices (mine again)? Census shows only THIRTY blue label 9.8 slabs.

     

    B) Is all of this irrelevant because it's a preview and no one really cares except the hardcoriest of the hardcore Preacher/Ennis fans?

  2. Valiant books that have already heated up on eBay (specifically those with first appearances):

    Magnus #5 – first appearance of Rai (a Rai trading card was included in Magnus #4)

    Solar Man of the Atom #3 – first appearance of Toyo Harada and the Harbinger Foundation

    Magnus #7 – first appearance of X-O armor (Commando class, earlier than X-O Manowar appearance)

     

    1992

    Harbinger #1 – first appearance of the Harbinger renegades (kids): Peter, Kris, Charlene, Faith, Torque

    X-O Manowar #1 – first appearance of X-O Manowar armor, first appearance of Aric of Dacia

    X-O Manowar #4 – first (brief) appearance of Jack Boniface (becomes Shadowman)

    Shadowman #1 – first (full) appearance of Jack Boniface (Shadowman)

    Solar #10 – first appearance of Gilad Anni-Padda/Abrams (Eternal Warrior), first Geomancers

    Archer & Armstrong #0* – first appearance of Archer & Armstrong (Obadiah Archer, Aram Anni-Padda)

    As a guy who has his Dad's run of Valiants, this post made me happy. Thanks!

  3.  

    Is no one going to mention all of the Modern reprints that are going for dumb money, whether it be from uninformed sellers/buyers or a known misrepresentation of the product?

  4. Before I even read the 155 new posts since my last visit, I'm going out on a limb and say that no more than 1 new book will be discussed as heating up. Prove me wrong!

     

     

    Update : I didn't know about Swamp Thing 53 so that's one. I'm not counting Doctor Strange with Sha-Na-Na because A) It's a graphic novel and 2) it would make me wrong.

  5.  

    Whats a "normal" price range this book?

     

     

    I think the last time a 9.8 CGC sold for around $350 and that was last year.

     

     

    I know the Huntress first appearance came out in All-Star Comics #69, but DC-Super Stars #18 is her origin story that supposely came out on the same day with ASC #69. It will be nice know if someone can confirm this with real data.

     

    It's been confirmed numerous times on here with rock solid evidence. It's absolutely true. Obviously that cover is much more appealing than the one page, floating head appearance in All-Star, but still.......................WOW!

  6. Gary Reed (Caliber Comics or Caliber Press), Wendy & Richard Pini (Elfquest), Bill Black (AC Comics) & Kristoffer Silver (Silverwolf Comics) are the few independent publishers from the 1980's that have complete history of their company.

     

    Back on topic. Here is the brief history of Caliber Comics/Caliber Press. Caliber Comics/Caliber Press Read Summer 1988 to Spring 1989.

     

    Look up James O'Barr to find his complete publication history and his alias name for the Deadworld title.

     

     

     

     

    So he did. Very nice.

  7. Got milk?

     

    Got delivered yesterday.

    Oh wow...

    Very nice!

     

    I actually spoke to O'Barr this weekend about this exact issue. He seemed to have no clue what I was talking about and when I tried to explain and ask him if it was the first time an image of The Crow was ever published, his reply was, "I don't know. Maybe. I probably did the front cover of that book, too." (He didn't).

  8. So some other books that either are seeing movement or might see some movement soon. Thoughts on them. A few jump past copper, but need some new blood in here.

     

    Just tired of same book discussions. I am still picking a couple of these up for $1 lately still.

     

    X-factor 15

    Teen Titans 21

    ASM 361 2nd Print - Book is smoking lately

    ASM 365

    Longshot 1

    ASM V2 30

    Saga of Swamp Thing 21

    Hulk 228 & 134

    Cry for Dawn 1

     

    Can we go more in depth on some of these?

     

    X-Factor 15 - First Horsemen of Apocalypse

    Teen Titans 21 - Brother Blood?!?

    ASM V2 30 - First Ezekiel or Morlun (I must have missed the news on this)

    Hulk 134 - First Golem? 228 - No clue at all

    I'm totally holding my 2 copies till after this show starts. I see only upswing happening if this show is as good as the first novel was. Wish I had picked up more seeing as the cover price for #1 was only $1. :(

     

    I'm sitting on mine as well. Unfortunately my LCS had bagged and boarded his #1's so I had to pay $1.29 for my two. Of course, that was a few months ago so...........
