    JUSTICE LEAGUE: PART ONE (11/17/17)

    in The Movie Forum

    Posted

    Saw it opening night and thought it was worth what I spent to see it so I'm good with it.  I think trying to splice in origins for Cyborg, Aquaman, and Flash were done adequately but given say 30 more minutes of screentime combined probably could have been much smoother.  Seemed to jump a lot to get everything in.  The instant I saw the end scene after the credits it made the whole movie for me.

    I had that whole set of Eclipse posters once upon a time, got water damaged when the basement at my folks' leaked. Haven't seen a nice set locally since. Inre: this particular one, I always thought the World of Wood covers were unfairly underloved, in the Dave canon.

    I love them very much! I just can't find a high grade copy of World of Wood that's affordable! :)

    I have a million to invest - where should I start?

    Closest thing to a serious answer I would give is diversify.  Go after a lot of first appearances of superheroes that likely will be next up to star in a movie/tv show.  Grab keys from the GA/SA eras that have done nothing but climb.  Buy a couple of collections just so you have something to play with :) You will have a lot of things that lose some value but those should be offset by a few that gain.

    Just from my own experiences, in selling and buying, I know a lot of people skip the GPA all-together and just price books in the ballpark of what is on Ebay.  Most of the time those prices are "negotiable" which is why you see price cut, after price cut.  As for the contributing to the boards portion of the discussion, I think a lot of people find these boards and think to themselves "oh great! a place to sell my stuff and not have to pay fees to ebay!".  It will work for some, but with so much competition for the front page at times, a lot of these people will move on.  Then there are those like me that read these boards on a daily basis, but only occasionally comment.  I like to look at the pretty books :)

    Why do you think it would fall? Is it because there will be more signed slabbed copies? 

    Yes.  There will be people that are getting the signatures for the pure motive of resell.  After Celebrity Authentics offered the SS 9.8 books for $300 and now they are more than double that, everyone sees it as easy money.

    Prices still doing well (and escalating):

    If the ACE signing goes off without a hitch I think you might see a slight fall in the short-term, but fully expect the book to continue to climb.  At this point I think the blue label 9.8 is going to become  the "rarer" of the two because the bulk of the convention edition from WonderCon are now Signature series.  Check out the prices of the blue labels on Ebay (and yes I do have one for sale here on the boards, lol).
