mysterio

I didn't realize it was the same copy I posted about a few weeks ago. Definitely a great looking .5. With this new expansion of the DC cinematic universe, I expect it to continue to trend upward. Thank goodness there are movies to help keep Batman relevant...! I was just thinking the same thing.

We've been getting $20-25 for New 52 Suicide Squad #1s steadily at shows. This past weekend we got $19 for a 9.0-9.2 copy. It's tough to keep them. #7 used to be a stronger seller, but lately the #1s are more sought after and #7s have cooled a bit, at least for us.

You've answered your own question. People buy them, even if they complain about them they still open their wallets for multiples.

Yesterday evening there were plenty of copies still closing in the $80-100 range. Definitely off the highs, but still respectable numbers. If the number of listings starts dropping those prices may be mostly sustainable. If nothing else the controversy surrounding this book is going to continue to drive some interest.

I also just found a Zero Hour logo Superboy at a show a week or so ago.

Feel for those that were dropping $100+ . Win some and lose some. I doubt that many of the board sales for that amount are going through, and eBay will be a sea of buyer complaints that will effectively nullify those sales too. Unless there were some cash sales that took place face to face in that short window, there shouldn't be much scarring over this one. Just had a trade offer come through on Ebay. He wanted to trade his Hot Topic variant for my EMP variant. I turned it down. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out over time. I have one copy, which I'd sold but the buyer and I came to a mutually agreeable solution to dissolve the transaction. I'm fine with holding this copy to see what the market ends up dictating on it.

If they were advertise as "recalled" comics and it turns out the comics are not recalled, then the buyer has every right to return this comic. Except the seller can cite Bleeding Cool reports that it was recalled.

So a random post on a Star Wars Comic Facebook page is a confirmation? Of what, something they heard? I'm still not clear on who posted the information or what their source was. About the same as the rumor of the recall. There was no official word on that either. Fair point, but at least there we had a couple of stories on Bleeding Cool. It was something. Plus many people were reporting the same thing I heard. I had a hot topic manager tell me that they were ordered by corporate to pull them to be destroyed. I think some people are now reporting, when they go back to get a copy coming back to the shelves, that the store already destroyed their copies. This whole thing seems to be a CF. And we still don't know print run, or percentage destroyed.

This could be interesting. I wonder how many sellers will let the buyers slide (out of kindness, not because they are obligated or should) or are we going to get a lot of Probation List nominations for non-payment? We may still be in about the 7th inning of this whole saga. Value will ultimately depend on how many got destroyed or will get released by HT. Nobody knows what that will be yet. But any buyers wouldn't have let sellers off the hook if the price had continued to go up, would they?

Graded 1/30 - that was a nice surprise My last value sat at "graded" for damn near two calendar months before shipping from what I recall. Hopefully you won't have a similar fate...

+1000000000 Add me to the list of "True Believers". I concur. They can be " important" and " collectible" , but they are not first appearances. You can add "cool" and "interesting", but they still aren't first appearances.

Are the books being discussed modern? No. Are they at least heating up on eBay? Um, no. I never thought I'd see the day that US 1 would get so much airtime here, but I guess that is just the world we live in these days, what with Sleepwalker #1 having ruined the natural order of things. Up is now the new down.

Add Animaniacs #2 to the list!

I dunno, I'm kinda partial to this one. 9.8?

The kind of statement that is worth repeating.

I don't know, generating some essentially free money selling off doubles is a nice way to get pieces you don't have and otherwise couldn't afford. That'd make it worth my time, but everyone is different.

Almost 50 new listings in the last 24 hours seems like a lot for a weekday for this type of book. Come tomorrow and this weekend, there will be more of these listings. I Suspect we'll see more and more of these "recalled" listings until Hot Topic begins selling them in earnest, whenever that is. There are more listings for this comic already than there were for the Gamestop Star Wars variant a few years ago that cost a bunch of points to acquire. A book like Captain America #25 had way more listings, but the people who picked up the Hot Topic comic had to go out of their way to acquire the book. The Captain America #25 was right there in the comic shop accessible to comic collectors/speculators/etc. The thing is, even if this Hot Topic comic is not recalled, it won't matter anymore. The speculation cycle has begun and it always takes a while for something like this to run it's course. Now you have people who otherwise would have no interest in this book getting in on the action. Honestly, if I didn't want to keep them for my Star Wars collection, I would put my copies up for sale because I know I'll be able to get them again for cheaper than they are going for now. Just to quibble a little bit, if you know you'll be able to get them again cheaper later then why not cash in now and rebuy once the price goes down? Keep one to hedge your bet and cash in.

Businesses sell things to people who contract to buy them, they don't decide when they feel like following through with a transaction because it benefits them more than keeping the item they agreed to sell.

A Star Wars Hot Topic variant? When you say checked into the post office, do you mean it's actually shipped and shows as received by the USPS or do you mean that you have a tracking number? There's more to the story here from this seller that Timmay can post if he wants. It is more incriminating to this seller. I contacted him he said he dropped it off this morning at the post office and I checked the tracking it is checked in. Like I said earlier part of me doesn't blame him. It happened to me when I got shorted on Wytches 1 NYCC I bought for $20 but the seller then cancelled on me when they hit 250. Didn't leave a neg. But that's what negs are for. I just personally haven't left one unless I got an item that was packed like and was not offered a refund. A contract is a contract. He agreed to sell at a price and you agreed to buy at a price. If the price had gone down I highly doubt he would be as understanding about you deciding it was no longer worth it to you. The seller would deserve a negative feedback if they back out of a transaction out of pure greed.

It's pretty impressive that you could lift it.

Why not go with a regular "curio cabinet"? There are probably decent lighted ones for under $500. Something along these lines (it's not lighted though)... Wildon Home Curio Cabinet - $219.99, free shipping Detolf cabinets from Ikea are also nice looking and run about $65 apiece. They're what I use to display my minibusts and other stuff. And you can add a light kit to them relatively easily (Ikea sells them too and the cabinet comes predrilled for it).

1st Fantomelle is #2 Just sayin... Is it for real? In a last page cameo thing or throughout? #3 states - When there's an impossible heist to be carried out, only one person in the world can do the job: introducing Fantomelle, the world's most unstoppable thief, engineered to perfection! But will she be destroyed before the Wolverines can recruit her? So I am curious to know. Full LAST PAGE splash page on #2 Maybe more? #2 1st Fantomelle #3 1st full Fantomelle IMHO Forgive my ignorance, because I don't read these books, but is she related to Fantomex (who I also don't know anything about other than the fact he makes X-Men #128-129 worth keeping an eye out for)?
