  1. TMTN Savage Dragon Ashcan @ $16+ & 6 bids. Pretty cool book. (thumbs u
  2. Now just to be clear, this book originally sold at $1.95 and some time back in the 90's was a $200+ book but than feel back down to earth after the comic explosion and was $1 bin feeder food. I found this recent auction most interesting. Hopefully the Valiant community can tell me what I missed. Harbinger #1 @ $30 & 4 bids.
  3. Kiss #1 & #5 @ $225 & 2 bids. Tomb of Dracula #10 @ $182+ & 5 bids. Raw #2 @ $150 & 1 bid. Ms Marvel #1 VF+ @ $27+ & 24 bids. Avengers #118 FN @ $26+ & 21 bids. Strange Tales #180 FN @ $25 & 16 bids. Batman #255 @ $61 & 14 bids. Iron Fist #14 FN @ $21+ & 14 bids.
  4. ROM #75 CGC 9.8 SS @ $56 & 21 bids! Uncanny X-Men #283 CGC 9.8 @ $31 & 5 bids but 21 watchers! Thor #412 CGC 9.8 SS @ $62 & 4 bids with 18 watchers. That's a damn fine book there. (thumbs u
  5. This is a great site and excellent effort. I hope folks aren't complaining about it and are rather arguing the minutiae surrounding sales. Running a site and staying on top of it takes a lot of work. Big thanks to Whetton for his work! (thumbs u Thanks Designer Toast and everyone else who put in some good words. I appreciate it.
  6. You can't claim a book is "heating up" without looking at historical sales data. Number of bidders and number of watchers shows interest, but tells you jack squat about where a book is in its sales cycle. I see Lyria as a tool to understand what's selling. It's a snapshot of the moment. Well, anything with bids (and no reserve) is going to sell ... I see it more as a list of items that garner a certain amount of attention when they're listed on eBay. But, again, without historical data, it doesn't tell me anything more than that book X has Y number of bids and Z number of watchers. Does this mean a higher or lower ending price than when the last copy of book X was listed? There's no way to tell. Isn't that the definition of something that's heating up?
  7. Looks like a bid war between two fans of the comic book.
  8. Amazing Spider-Man #194 CGC 9.2 @ $100 & 13 bids! Daredevil #168 CGC 9.6 @ $255 & 19 bids. Invaders #1 CGC 9.6 @ $104+ 14 bids. Great book! Swamp Thing #9 CGC 9.8 @ $249 & 1 bid. This might just be because it's a 9.8 however. X-Men #142 CGC 9.8 @ $220 & 1 bid. Flintstones #1 CGC 9.8 @ $202+ & 31 bids. YABADABADOOO!!!
  9. Thor #411 CGC 9.6 @ $65+ & 2 bids. Love those warriors! Action Comics #1 1988 reprint CGC 9.8 @ $60 & 2 bids. TMNT #2 CGC 9.8 @ $51 & 5 bids but 38 watchers! New Mutants #87 CGC 9.8 @ $172 & 25 bids + 25 watchers. Marvel Team-Up #141 CGC 9.8 @ $104+ & 3 bids + 19 watchers.
  10. I'll pick it up tonight. Couldn't make the trek last night to the LCS and the Bruins were on...
  11. These went for $100 out of the gate and this one just sold for less than $50. Is this the cooling off thread? "Heating Up" evidently means "gets bids"... not "prices up". Sorry I said anything.
  12. These went for $100 out of the gate and this one just sold for less than $50. Is this the cooling off thread? Notice it's an auction and so prices aren't yet finalized.
  13. The Valiant gang should be happy about this. Back on the list of Comics to Watch is this particular issue: X-O Manowar #1 Gold Variant @ $32+ & 10 bids.
  14. Finding a high grade raw issue of this comic is not an easy thing. I have many raw issues of this comic. (thumbs u
  15. I'd give you the price that a raw "NM" New Mutants 98 on eBay would get. Roughly $100 bucks give or take and that's only because I feel I could crack it open and sell it that way myself. If CGC were to grade the book it might come back as a 9.2
  16. Five comics trending to keep in mind while visiting your LCS on new comic book day: Batman Beyond #1 @ $11+ & 2 bids. Age of Ultron #10 Variant @ $50+ & 14 bids. Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog #1 @ $20+ & 2 bids. Superman #1 Unchained 3D Variant @ $100 & 14 bids. Batman #21 1:100 Variant @ $45 & 16 bids. Lyria Exchange website
  17. I own both so whichever wants to quadruple in price is fine with me.
