Ottawa's first comic book only convention is coming on Sunday October 28th from 11am-5pm at the Marriott Hotel at 100 Kent Street in the heart of downtown Ottawa. The dealer room will feature comic books, comic magazines and trade paperbacks only, a perfect event for the serious comic collector or comic book fan! Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for kids. 

Special Note: In an unofficial DC/Marvel crossover, Wally West (Kid Flash) appears on page 10, panel 6. Nova's artist, Carmine Infantino, was also the artist on DC's The Flash and slipped Wally into the panel.

Been offered a full run of Walking Dead in mint shape for $2000. With the current jumps on the singles is it worth getting at that price?

Well I have seen the sets going for less than that, but when you can't see the books until they ship it's more of a risk. These I will be able to inspect prior to purchase, so I figured I would get a feel from the board about a high grade run since I felt it would be worth it.....

Saw that Krighton's complete set of Chuck sold with 1 bid at $24.99 earlier today. I'm still baffled as to what the heck the previous auctions were about then, especially since that last one was not even a complete set at $127. Doesn't make sense. But apparently the heat is not quite there for this title. Though $25 is still decent out of context!

 

Noticed that Veronica 202 (1st app. Kevin Keller) 1st printings are popping up less commonly on eBay. Used to be there were 5 or more at all times, often not selling with a BIN around $6-10. Now just one or two at a time appear to be getting listed. The supply seems to either be getting absorbed, or sellers appear to have given up on listing them, or both. In any event, I noticed the two current listings ended today. The earlier one with only 1 bid for $9.99 (free shipping). The later listing just ended with 15 bids between 3 parties, bidding this book up to $18.59 (+ $5 shipping). May just be an aberation, but may also indicate a growing demand as the character flourishes in the Archie universe(s) with more media attention and a new ongoing series. No idea how big the print run was on this book. Of note, it was the first Archie issue in 70 years to get a reprint. It will get no where near Betty & Veronica 320 (1st app. Cheryl Blossom) in terms of price or rarity. But I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a steady $50-ish seller in the years to come for NM copies. And yes, as you can see from my sig line, I'm fairly attached to the character.

I just discovered a copy of Betty & Veronica 320 in a collection I bought in 9.6-9.8 what would that sell for? Is it worth getting graded?

Possibly, but looking at the three previous auctions for complete sets, one sold at $60 and the other two went for over $100! This set is not even complete and already over $100? I don't get it...I may have to sell my set!

OK Seriously....WTF?!?!?!

Yeah that's #4 for the previous series X-Force, not Uncanny X-Force....

Well I was planning on doing that, but I figured the people that would really appreciate knowing the book was available was here, rather than anywhere else on the board. I also find it fitting that someone who posts with nothing relevant or important to say has a troll image for his icon...

I just recently uncovered a Cursed Pirate Girl #2 first printing in a collection I acquired. I'd be happy to sell it to a board member rather than listing it on Ebay if anyone needs one. Contact me for scans!
