Hey Kids, Comics!

Why do people suddenly care about Brother Voodoo? I guess I'm out of the loop on this one.

For some reason, the RI TMNT covers aren't really selling that well. (Or even the B covers, actually.)

 

The 1A and 5A are selling well. I wish I could find some more.

 

Had to go check my boxes. 5B. Stupid alphabet. I did sell a 1D for $30 at the HeroesMiniCon a few weeks ago, though. Of course I also sold a Strain 1 for $10.......

 

Strain 1 for $10.....

I found another one today at my LCS, which I bought the first one from right after the initial announcement.

I sold two F copies of Avengers 181 for $20 each at a show in Charlotte Saturday. One of them was purchased that morn for $6. Also sold a 7.0 Nova 1 for $35.

I see Avengers 181 and MP 47 heating up real soon now.

 

But who really cares about the first appearance of Scott Lang? I know about movie hype, but this is getting pretty lame when the original Antman/Hank Pym gets ignored.

 

And I'm far from jealous or whatever, as being a hardcore Byrne collector, I have piles of this stuff.

You answered your own question. Movie Hype. The person who buys Avengers 181 or Marvel Premiere 47 isnt the type of guy who is going to shell out big bucks for a TTA 27. It's an affordable first appearance of a character that they're basing a movie on. Not a bad pick-up in my opinion.

Can't wait for the 40 I ordered to come in this tuesday!

 

MONIES

Now THAT's a group pic I would love to see!

So, where can reader copies of sought after Copper Marvel books can be found if you can’t browse dollar bin boxes (since you are overseas )?

I ask because there are some I’d like to have (like New Mutants #98, to complete my New Mutants collection) but not willing to pay much for them.

 

You are going to either find a cheap BIN on ebay or mannup and pay.

 

POS ASM 300's and NM 98's sell for $50+ on ebay all day long.

 

Thanks, but what is "POS"? "Mannup" is not so clear as well…

 

Piece of mess copies. Also known as Garbage copies. - In poor condition.

 

Mannup, better known as Man Up and more recently, "Sack Up" - Quit whining and pay the asking price for an UXM 266

 

It is very simple. Come to America with your overpriced Euros, turn them into [now almost worthless] dollars, and schedule your trip around a few comic conventions. Aside from San Diego or NYCC (though I did ok at NYCC this year in my brief time there) there will be cheap books to rummage through. If you look hard enough you will find cheap copies of these books -- except for NM 98, you can forget about that one --- and no way in hell you'll find even a beater of ASM 300 in even a $2 box...so, basically, come to america to find that elusive $2 beat-up copy of x-men 266. while you're at it, pick up some other stuff as well.

 

honestly, if i really had a krap copy to I'd just send it to you at this point, but i don't.

I found a 3.0 copy of ASM 300 in Chris Foss' $1 box at his Heroes & Dragons store last year. I've also found numerous UXM 266s (as wellas NM 98) at flea markets for under a dollar in the last year as well. If you search enough, you will find them.

I actually took a pic of the last NM 98 I found at a flea for Facebook. 7/1/12

Not to be a Negative Nancy, but how is Harley going to be able to sustain her own book?

 

I just don't see it.

Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

 

That's what I keep thinking. Maybe I'm wrong and this character has arrived. But I just don't see it.

 

The Joker's own series in the 70's only lasted 9 or 10 issues, and he's the damn Joker! For Harley's series to work, they are going to have make a (reluctant) hero out of her. And I don't know if they will do that.

Her 2001 series went 38 issues. That's a pretty successful run for a character that was 10% as popular then as she is now (if that).

Herobear and the Kid 2013 Annual Special RECALLED

 

What's the reason?

From ComicVine :

Note: Due to two major misprints (incorrect price and missing page) Boom has requested all retailers not sell this issue on October 30th 2013 and that they are to wait for replacements to be shipped November 13th, some retailers may sell misprint copies anyways.

I hate when I go away for a while. I just scanned through 187 responses and not one single post had a book that was heating up on ebay. Sigh.

Serves me right!

Good day at an estate tag sale this morning. Unfortunately a lot of items that were pictured on the website like loose NES Rob, 12" Joes, a Spidey and Batman Mego, Big JIm Road Ripper in box, Evel Knievel stunt cycle in box, etc were mysteriously gone (I was there half an hour before they let anyone in). I did however find a nice assortment of NES games though including sealed Double Dribble and the opened Final Fantasy in the box. Early issues of Nintendo Power, including 1-9, and all the classic games you'd expect to find in a NES lot i.e. Contra, Super Mario 2 & 3, Mike Tyson, Zelda 1 & 2, etc make this a hell of a lot. As an Uncle Scrooge collector, I may have gotten most excited about the Duck Tales magazines though, which I NEVER see!

Surely this can't be that hard to find, right? I looked through all the usual suspects but there are none available on MyComicShop, ComicCollectorLive, MileHigh, etc and the only ones on ebay are being offered for $55-75. Is it nowhere because it's so hard to find or because no one really cares and it's worth nada so not bothered listing? Has anyone actually ever seen one sell?

 

Ive seen a couple sell to me for a dollar

I have access to a couple hundred at 50 cents each.......................

Detective Comics #871 @ $16 & 9 bids. eh?

 

This is the first work by Scott Snyder on Batman and has been commanding a premium for a while now. Great story!

Indeed. I got $15 for a copy at Heroes and the guy was thrilled.

I found a new honey hole today but unfortunately wasn't able to pick them all dince they were closing early. I pulled out some nice stuff including Transformers 74 (x6) & 80, Batman Adv 12, 56 issues of Infinity Gauntlet, MOTU 12 (x11), etc. My question is this.......would you buy a couple hundred Nintendo Valiant issues for 50 cents each? I saw at least a dozen copies of each Zelda and probably 30+ of all the Marios ( I say all but maybe not as I really wasn't sure which was the last, how many series, etc)?

 

The mario and zelda books sell well on eBay in sets in any sort of readable shape. I would be a buyer of all of them at $0.50 as long as I could make sets. Sets don't have to be complete, just groups of different issues.

 

If you get any 9.8 candidates be sure to send me a PM. Or if you decide to pass or are willing to send the couple hundred books to me, also let me know. How were they stored?

 

I doubt there will be any 9.8. Unbagged, unboarded, most not even in comic boxes, just upright stacks in larger storage boxes. There are still some nice copies, just not 9.8s

Over 150 loose and 25+ packaged JLU and Batman Animated figures came home with me today! Had to drop $300 on them but for the number of figs, it's still a solid deal!

Holy smokes! Am I missing something on that issue? They print 50 of them, or something like that? I always thought of it as a $4 common book. Copper is kickin azz lately. I'm grinnin' like a pig in .

 

I'll save you the trouble.

 

 

I just found another small pile of them today.

 

I have some catching up to do.

 

I've been selling my lesser copies for $20 to $50 a pop.

 

Where?! I have my copies at $12-15 at local cons and get ZERO interest

NBC passes on The Sixth Gun.

Now we wait to see how many people actually pay for their issues they've claimed in my sales thread. Already getting some resistance.

Dude spends extra for pictures which aren't his product, then puts up a piccie of his wares, out of focus?

 

Dumb-arse

You get up to 12 pictures for free now.

I used to enjoy Larry's report. Then he wouldn't correct errors when they were pointed out and would keep repeating them week after week, even after knowing they were wrong. Add that to he fact that he's not exactly the friendliest guy on the net and that equaled me unsubscribing from his email list and not reading the report anymore. I've never spent a dime with him so I realize that my opinions are completely irrelevant to him, but they are just that.....my opinions.

Batman #386 @ $20 & 13 watchers.

 

 

Closed for $127.50? Maybe I should break mine out!

That's nuts! Better make sure my copy is in decent shape.

That's just dumb. An already slabbed 9.8 sold for under $75 less than two weeks ago!

why is Batman #386 going up in value? Besides its Black Mask 1st app?

 

I got 2 copies a while back in 50 cent bins

That's why. I picked up 2 copies in 3/$1 oxes in Feb and still routinely grab them at $5 at shows.

 

I actually found 6 more after digging through some more boxes. I left 3 because they were destroyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They were the counterfeit versions, but I bought them all just to get them off the market so as not to be confused by some unknowing soul down the line.

 

 

Counterfeit Dawns? What's the tip-off that they're not on the up-and-up?

If you look close at the printing in the cloud section under CRY FOR you can see a checkerboard pattern from the sub-standard printing.Pretty obvious if you know what to look for.

Hey guys, does anybody know when Dark Horse's property contract end for Star Wars books. I believe they are launching that new The Star Wars series this September.

 

Fufat

I'm pretty sure that it's the end of the year.
