My Marvel Special Edition #15 . I got the full run 5 or so years ago when every issue beyond #16 was in the dollar bin. I bought them because I've always been a fan of old kung fu movies (especially most things Shae Brothers) but I never in a million years thought Shang Chi would ever have his own movie.
Indeed. I never thought 48 years would have passed so quickly when it seemed like yesterday this issue came out.
It's awesome to see B and C lister characters finally getting their chance to shine.

Shang Chi is a baaaaad man.

I just watched a new trailer that was released on 6-24. It looks very good to me.
And when/since do guys pass judgment on other guys if they look good or not?
Yeah, okay never-mind nearly forgot.

No hopes for 9.8 with these. Probably the only collector in the US with back-to-back wraps/cuts like this.
For #15, why not? I've seen plenty wraps out there like that one get a CGC 9.8 grade.

Bottom corner bend front and back cover both. Light wear along the top edge front cover. Light indentation, upper right front corner. Tiny wear, upper left corner front cover/upper right corner back cover. Overhang bend to right edge of front cover (don't know if there are any paper breaks that come with it).
It looks to be a beautiful copy, but from the photos unlikely to be a 9.8.
Even with a press involved?

Sorry to burst your bubble MJ, but that isn't a 9.8 IMHO, but I think it would definitely benefit from a press if you are into that sort of thing.
Do you mind elaborating as to why it isn't?

Well, I guess the giddy and bubbly Heritage auction fever must have petered out by the weekend and was all gone by Monday since this copy on CL managed to fetched only $42K in their auction last night:
I imagine the consignor of this so-called #2 Registry Set (whatever that is
) must not have been too overly excited with this result, especially since the last few sales over the past 2 months or so have all been in the $60K+ price range. 
Yeah, only sold for 42K, what a tragedy!

In the words of Jim Carey: ALLRIGHTY THEN!
Dropped by to see my security deposit sweetheart and took pics out of the bag.
Tell me what you think. Now I was in a rush and the book is sitting on top of my computer bag here.

Here's one thing I don't understand about this online tax law. If I buy something from a company in Oregon, which has no sales tax, why do I have to pay the Iowa 7% sales tax? It would seem to me that the sale occurred in Oregon.
Because of one word: GREED.

So far this year there's been two 9.8 with miswraps hit the auction block in Feb, March. The Clink hammered 60k the CC hammered 45.5k. Both looked almost identical with sizable white spines. If a 9.8 can see that kind of volatility any grade would be at risk of volatile gyrations. If lack of stability freaks you out you'll never buy this book. You're always going to have the occasional dud auction with common keys -- like someone taking advantage of the expedience Ebay offers -- but that doesn't make it a bad investment. At some point a very appealing 9.8 will hit auction on HA possibly resulting in some blowout number once these aggressive bidders get a crack. What does the low point baseline for a 9.6 look like after that? It won't be 23k!
A GSXM 9.8 hammered at 72k couple nights ago on HA. GSXM has always trailed 181 in all grades. IH180 9.8 hammered at 41k same day...ASM129 9.8 over 40k. So make of that what you will.
I can't believe people out there are actually paying those prices for those books.
It's like they're paying dollars $41 instead of thousands 41K.

No I do not have the Iron Fist Annual Team-up. I'll shoot for a 9.6/9.8 copy soon. Nice that you were able to get both SME 15 & 16.
Thanks! Is 16 even worth anything though in high grade?

You would have to have amazing faith in this book to shell out that kind of money for the hope of continued growth like we have seen lately. According to CovrPrice a 9.6 sold for $35k in May but then $23k in June. While a 9.4 sold for $21k in May. How do you count on stability or risk management with that kind of volatility? I'm just trying to figure out how my 5.0 will go and I have no investment capital at risk!
Yeah, completely agree. The only way I shell out any money is by trading in books I have to acquire a higher grade.
I've got a 9.2 copy and the only way I get a 9.6 is by trading it in to help offset the 9.6 price and then put other books on the table....then MAYBE shell out few bucks.
I've got the money to purchase a 9.6 straight up, but now way I would do it at those prices.

This are about all I have graded and MOKF was the best series I think I've ever read. Loved it! NO way I'm missing the movie.
Do you have the Iron Fist annual team-up?
I've got the MOKU SE #16 as well. I bought it the same time as #15 because of that classic cover battling Midnight!

Take it out of the bag and take a photo, we would be able to get a better idea of how nice it is, or not.
That's what I was going to suggest after the next person decided to pile on after they tagged teamed me and I saw the 2nd guy climbing on the top of the rope.
When I get a chance I'll do that and you will stand in sheer awe of it's beauty and glory that none will be able to deny on here.

Got to agree with you there, unprecedented times at the moment.
It's like we are living in the twilight zone. I've pinched myself several times and still can't believe it.
But the underlying reason is the movie industry right?
Yeah, okay never-mind nearly forgot.

The price is marked down from $1650.00. I was wondering if there was a recent price increase for some unknown reason.
